The socialists are ridiculous with their primitive optimism, with their belief in a good man who will immediately appear as soon as the current social order is abolished.

There is nothing good in herds, even when they run after you. The insanity of individuals is an exception, and the insanity of entire groups, parties, peoples, times is the rule.

The mass is impulsive, changeable and excitable. It is almost exclusively ruled by the unconscious. She does not tolerate a delay between desire and the fulfillment of what she wants. She feels omnipotent, the concept of the impossible disappears from the mass of the individual.

Nietzsche considered it pure absurdity to explain the essence of man by some goal, an ideal. And therefore - any upbringing for him is fraught with suppression of the personality.

Morality, which does not take into account and in consideration any requirements of life, is a specific error.

Nietzsche did not treat the superman as a man of power. This is a strong, creative, noble, generous person who is characterized by constant tension of spirit, self-control and self-restraint, independence, non-conformism, cheerfulness, gaiety, the power of passion.
