(...) a situation where leading elites are no longer able to find answers to most of the social issues they are confronted with. In their interest is then to hide, as much as possible, the profound causes of tensions and contradictions developing within the existing social structure and “cultural differences” can be easily used to achieve this goal. This is due to the fact that, at a certain historical stage, the leading elites speaking on the behalf of a given social, ideological, religious or national formation, with most often the silent approval of passive, to a certain extent, masses of “believers”, are no longer able to “run to the front” with a creative programme of absolutely necessary transformations of their own mental structures which reached the stage of structural blockade.
