Historical nihilism -the inherently iconoclastic critical and rational exercise of dismantling mythplogical narratives on history- is a power still enough tapped, that has only been started to be used by closet anarcho historians in and out of academia. Historical narratives based not on prefab convictions but on the acknowledgement of any historical fact as an enigma with many open ends.

What was the Thirty Years War, if not the first international capitalist war? Yet the ideologues of democracy will present the Peace of Westphalia as the corner stone of European unity.

The greatest challenge to me lies in taking in the individual (not those heroic "personalities", but just any individual in a given context) out of the mass grave of history and restitute them above those countries, empires, movements, religions and monarchies.
