Nietzsche and Social Darwinism
Ode to War
From: The Great Class War 1914-1918
$2.20
The process of democratization seems to be irresistible and, with the rise of the
“masses,” the elite, besieged and increasingly pessimistic, seeks remedies in Social-
Darwinist fantasies and antidemocratic and racist Nietzschean schemes. War
appears to offer the elite a way out of its labyrinth of problems. It is hoped that
war will dispel the threat of revolutionary socialism, thin out the ranks of the
dangerous popular masses, and integrate the lower orders into the existing political
and social-economic order . . .
