Abstract

This article refers to the conditions that make homicide morally acceptable as an instrument for social restoration. It also considers the way certain groups that legitimate evil and crime work. In order to reach these goals, it resorts to the model that Nazism provides. The Hitler Administration in Germany created new social ties that permitted to legitimate a Law of enjoyment. However, in this article Nazism is essentially a means to draw a particular approach to Moses and Monotheism, by Freud. The Freudian text articulates the notions of "foreigner" and "murder" to deal with the origins of Judaism. Then, Freud evidences that ideals, the noblest objectives we have, favor crime.
