In the primitive human horde described by Freud, the simplest form of social formation, the father and chief; strong; despot, tyrant and absolute owner of power. As an act of rebelliousness his descendants murder him, felt guilt and through guilt, the father earns control over them. Worshiped and secretly hated, through the figure of Totem: a paternal substitute. Despite of human development since then, it is mean to portray that some features of the primitive horde, continue to exist in present day society, specially through the rising phenomenon of bullying. These features include: 1) Disappearance of the individual will; 2) the idea of a violent, powerful and idealized leader; 3) A homogeneous, obedient and submissive group and 4) the illusion of "equality"; 5) predominance of fear over reason. The underlying feature in all three contexts is the organization according to a rigid hierarchy of power in which homogeneity is required; an enemy to hate and immature people. Maturity means self-knowledge and autonomy, assuming that which is unbearable of ourselves, without referring to projective identification. Projective identification is the tendency to portray in other, what we hate of ourselves. In conclusion, building a strong education based on solidarity is needed.
