Narrative Analysis: Name Calling

On the occasion of Lindsey Graham’s passing, this piece (gift link) by Anne Applebaum from 2020 is making the rounds. It’s about why some people decide to collaborate with an occupying force and others do not. Since the Second World War, historians and political scientists have tried to explain why some people in extreme circumstances become collaborators and others do not. The late Harvard scholar Stanley Hoffmann had firsthand knowledge of the subject—as a child, he and his mother hid from the Nazis in Lamalou-les-Bains, a village in the south of France. But he was modest about his own conclusions, noting that “a careful historian would have—almost—to write a huge series of case histories; for there seem to have been almost as many collaborationisms as there were proponents or practitioners of collaboration.” Still, Hoffmann made a stab at classification, beginning with a division of collaborators into “voluntary” and “involuntary.” Many people in the latter group had no choice. Forced into a “reluctant recognition of necessity,” they could not avoid dealing with the Nazi occupiers who were running their country. Hoffmann further sorted the more enthusiastic “voluntary” collaborators into two additional categories.

In the second were the truly active ideological collaborators: people who believed that prewar republican France had
