Miscegenation and Inbreeding

Miscegenation can be conceived as a potential means to Peace, i. e. via the dissolution of entrenched enmity.  In contrast, Nietzsche's advocacy of it, in #960 of the Will to Power collection, is based on its Eugenic value.  Common to both construals is the diagnosis that Inbreeding is a weakness, an ill that can be generalized from that obtaining in the more widely recognized, often tabooed, blood variety, to that of any division, e. g. ethnic, religious, geographic, etc.  So, proponents of 'racial purity' would be mistaken in claiming themselves to be 'Nietzscheans' in that regard.
