ABSTRACT
To Karl Marx, the revolution would transform the existence of society became the primary aim and a true embodiment of his demand for righteousness. Even his own resolve to fight for this revolution was disguised in the form of a scientific sociology which predicted its inevitable approach, by virtue of its immensely increased productive capacity. Such an ideology simultaneously satisfies both the demands for scientific objectivity and the ideals of social justice, by interpreting man and history in terms of power and profit, while injecting into this materialistic reality the messianic passion for a free and righteous society. Marxism and Nazism are also very different, even though they have a similar structure and spring from common origins. Their kindred structures have different contents; Marxism is a revolutionary utilitarianism, Nazism a revolutionary romanticism. The morally inverted mentality can be individualistic, unpolitical— this author call nihilism. In his paper, 'nihilism' means neither moral depravity nor moral indifference.
