"Purifying the World" -- the latest collectivist hogwash about purging the world of evil and the perfectibility of man.

The Bolsheviks believed in the perfectibility of man. They called their ideal "The New Soviet Man."

Man will make it his purpose to master his own feelings, to raise his instincts to the heights of consciousness, to make them transparent, to extend the wires of his will into hidden recesses, and thereby to raise himself to a new plane, to create a higher social biologic type, or, if you please, a superman. -- Leon Trotsky, Literature and Revolution, on "the New Soviet Man."

The Nazis believed in the "purification of the race." Their model was the Aryan warrior. Their version of "The New Soviet Man" was the
herrenvolk -- "the Master Race."

Blood mixture and the result drop in the racial level is the sole cause of the dying out of old cultures; for men do not perish as a result of lost wars, but by the loss of that force of resistance which is continued only in pure blood. All who are not of good race in this world are chaff. -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

Both variants of collectivism stacked up millions upon millions of bodies trying to achieve their view of perfection, of "purification."

The natural by-products of collectivist "perfectibility" and "purification."
