If the "idea of a master race" did not exist, everything that comes under the concept of "evil" would be an impossibility in the world
1309. It is this "idea of a master race" that recurs in every form of "jealousy", every form of "envy", in every form of revenge and thereby in absolutely everything that comes under the concept of "evil". What hatred can exist without being based on a violation or presumed violation of the "rights of ownership "? What envy can exist without being a reaction to being outdone by one's neighbour as regards fulfilling one or other of our common desires? Is this not the same as jealousy? What is this other than indignation at losing a race for the possession of the favour of a sexual partner or another fellow human being? Where is there any so-called "evil" that does not originate in the concept of "ownership"? If the feeling of "ownership" did not exist and could control neither the individual nor the flock, no form of manifestation of so-called "evil thoughts" or their ensuing "evil actions" could ever arise. War, hatred, persecution, terror, fraud or falsehood and all the rest of the "evil" in the world connected with these phenomena would then be a total impossibility.
