it is also important that nietzsche acted, through his character zarathustra, as the prophet of the superman. he saw that his own people-europeans, but more especially germans, were in the process of becoming supermen and correctly stated the superman would arise out of them. arise he did in the form of the annihilator of christianity and the creator of the new order adolf hitler. it is also noteworthy that nietzsche proclaimed himself as the antichrist. as nietzsche wrote in ecce homo: you highest men whom my eyes have seen, this is my doubt about you and my secret laughter: i guess that you would call my overmandevil. how accurately that describes the western christian civilization in its modern (and final) stage. hitler, the superman, the antichrist, is branded as the most evil man who ever lived for overcoming christian values on a large scale.
