Although not PC, I think that there was some beauty contained within the horror of Nazi ideology. This 'beauty' a love of social order, a rejection of religious power in favor of science pragmatism and logic, the power of the individual, before a subservience to creed, the subjugation of capitalism or the market to the service of the socialist state,. All of these ideals would to a greater or lesser degree have appealed to Nietzsche.

The power and appeal of Nazi ideology in a political state-generating sense is that upon the basis of race it is inclusive of all members of a pure racial and physical cohort. Therefore it has mass appeal and contains within it the implication that members of said cohort are superior upon the basis of their race.
Nietzsche considered the individual 'thinking -man' the philosopher, as the superior being. For Nietzsche the 'quality' or 'purity' of the thinking-man's thought, is generally correlative to the degree that it differs from that of the collective, and thereby it contains an inherent rejection of almost all pre-existing and presently existing social orders. — Marcus de Brun

Nazi preoccupation with purity of race evolved out of German frustration with their inability to create a cohesive nation-state like France or Britain. They located the cause of their failure in their culturally diverse landscape. They tried to force assimilation through public education. It worked with some of their Czech population, but it didn't work on the Jews. Their Jewish population stood out as a reason that they couldn't be great like Great Britain. — frank
Whether a multi-racial society can survive as a nation-state is something we're still trying to discover, I think. My prediction is that the problem will disappear through genetic blending. Races only stay separate where there is something institutional to outlaw blending. — frank
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
