Nazism, as long as we're informed of history, was the first acting out against civilization. The law was no more the law (and precisely the Law was intoduced in our christian culture by the jews, especially in Germany), and all things were permitted, all frustrations and impulses could be exhausted. So that a crowd of uncultured men efficiently served the nazism. So I'm convinced, though I be marxist, that marxism can not explain the "holocaust", unless marxist thought integrate the freudian thought, that is to say abandon the rousseauist one. I'm not sure that capitalism is "irrational", but the whole of capitalism defender arguments, nowadays, is entirely irrational. "Inflation", "market economy" and so on are only metaphysics, and that's notabily the reason why the so called "economic science" remains everything but a real science. Whatever it be, today's capitalism, by promoting egoism and "laisser faire", is a daily aggression against culture and civilization. In that sense, it's going to give birth to the next avatar of nazism, which one we'll be anable to recognize according to the Primo Levi's prediction, the last one for the last step of history. But don't forget, too, that Marx believed in the extinguishing of the State, and so laboured himself, in this case, under the bourgeoisie's ideology ... Regards RK RK
