“The essential characteristic of a healthy ruling elite is that it views itself as society’s very meaning and highest justification, and that it therefore accepts in good conscience the sacrifice of untold human beings who, for its sake, must be reduced and lowered to incomplete human beings, to slaves, to objects. Society must not exist for society’s sake, but only as the foundation and scaffolding on which the best are able to raise themselves to a higher state of being.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
So what’s the essential characteristic of healthy self-sacrificial, reduced, lowered, incomplete humans – of enslaved objects?
The motto for those who believe they rule by “divine right”. The belief of every tryrant who has ever ruled a people.

Nietzsche is dead. Does it make him stronger for it?
