- Nietzsche
Socialism ― or the tyranny of the meanest and the most
brainless, ―that is to say, the superficial, the envious, and the
mummers, brought to its zenith, ―is, as a matter of fact, the logical
conclusion of “modern ideas” and their latent anarchy: but in the genial
atmosphere of democratic well-being the capacity for forming
resolutions or even for coming to an end at all, is paralysed.
Men follow―but no longer their reason. That is why socialism is on the
whole a hopelessly bitter affair: and there is nothing more amusing than
to observe the discord between the poisonous and desperate faces of
present-day socialists―and what wretched and nonsensical feelings does
not their style reveal to us! ―and the childish lamblike happiness of
their hopes and desires.
- Nietzsche
