Political nihilism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The characterization of Nihilism in the lede sentence, and the implication that anarchists or nihilists have anything good to say about capitalism is misleading and false. In addition there was very little relationship between political nihilism and anything else called nihilism. Either this article needs an overhaul or it needs to be deleted. Literally the only relevant material in this article is the quoting of a single political nihilist. Ollyoxenfree (talk) 16:19, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge back or redirect to Nihilism. The stub is so short as to be essentially a mere dictionary definition and does not contribute much to the broader discussion. Bearian (talk) 17:10, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect back to Nihilism, leave the history for whatever use the scanty material might be to a future editor. This brief article has been around a long time but doesn't contribute incrementally to the discussion, and I didn't see anything better in the article history.  The GBooks and GScholar results above show many potential sources to expand on the topic, so eventually this article could be split back out again, but right now it's not serving a purpose. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:31, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Why trouble ourselves over this when all of life is meaningless, knowledge is impossible, reality does not exist and there is no moral or wisdom based standard on which judgment can be based? In short how are we to judge when we float in an existential swamp of delusion?  in short, Delete or redirect back to Nihilism without merge; it adds nothing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:00, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
