Aristocratic philosophies of rebellion inspired revolutions from the Carbonari to Hitler.

Evidence

The aristocratic philosophy of rebellion, growing, developing, and changing as it approached maturity, has inspired a long series of revolutionary movements, from the Carbonari after the fall of Napoleon to Hitler’s coup in 1933; and at each stage it has inspired a corresponding manner of thought and feeling among intellectuals and artists. — Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy, 2708
