The strength of Spengler doesnt lie in the factuality of his historical views, but in his prescience and predictions on history, and the rather depressing conclusions we're forced to draw. He's the anti-marx in many ways, because while many praise Marx' interpretation of history, his predictions never came true, while Spengler's interpretation of history was shoddy at best, but he nonetheless managed to predict the course of the West (and Russia) with high accuracy. And beyond that, he was able to dismiss empty optimism of countries in ascension because of the achievements they have, or their expansive drift, like with the USA, USSR, or Nazi Germany. Spengler could see that there was already rot setting in, and he would likewise dismiss people who nowadays think that China will rule the world, when China is rotting away just as hard as the West is. In fact, China has become part of the West, and it is not a pseudomorphosis, as Spengler thought Russia was (though i'd argue Russia has been far more Westernized than Spengler thought it'd be)

Hey /lit/, im looking for works that expand on a topic that Nietzsche touches on, namely the fallacy that people are somehow more 'noble' or 'righteous' the more they have suffered and the more impotent they were, a concept that Nietzsche draws back from Christianity and has since secularized.
