The ideology of polylogism or collectivist relativism holds that there exists no absolute standard of reason or morality, but rather than logic and morals are different for various races and socioeconomic classes. As such, polylogism stands in direct opposition to the Enlightenment principles of individualism, rationalism, and moral absolutism. Polylogism is ludicrously flawed, but what are its implications in practice? A hint is to be derived from the fact that the Marxists had been polylogists; so had the Nazis in Germany. The former had ruthlessly confiscated property from, excluded from universities, and sentenced to slavery in the gulags those whose class affiliation was "bourgeois". The latter committed genocide in the millions against members of races not of "pure Aryan stock".
A question emerges, however: how does a viewpoint of collectives as immune to judgment and inherently divergent result in the persecution of one by the other? Polylogism in the context of an Aryan master race would state that because the racial identity of, say, the Chinese or the Polynesians or the Jews renders them inevitably "backward" (in the context of "Aryan logic") or, in the example of the Jews, inherently "exploitative", there exists from the standpoint of "Aryan logic" an irreconcilable conflict between the "master race" and miscellaneous ethnic groups.
Because no common ground can be found between the followers of "different" systems (as, if a German cannot grasp Jewish logic, neither can a Jew grasp German logic), the only solution to the conflict is not persuasion and analysis, but brute, unthinking force. Just as the Polynesians are allowed to, under this vile calculus, disembowel and roast a Western missionary who seeks to teach them basic arithmetic (as he is irreconcilable with Polynesian logic), so can the Germans vaporize the Jewish people as a different species acting upon a framework to which the Germans cannot relate.
