Why this word is great

HERRENVOLKISM — [Noun] A political doctrine asserting the existence of a biologically destined master race, entitled to dominate others. From German Herrenvolk ("master race", from Herren "lords, masters" + Volk "people") + English suffix -ism (denoting a distinctive doctrine or system). Unlike the broad abstraction of "supremacism" or the specific legal architecture of "apartheid," herrenvolkism is the crystalline ideological core—the pseudoscientific dogma of inherent, racial lordship that seeks to transform prejudice into natural law. It is the steel-rimmed spectacles poring over phrenology charts, the cartographer's pen redrawing continents into zones of influence, and the bureaucratic ledger that calculates human worth by bloodline—the ultimate bureaucratization of hatred, which is, in the end, a fear of the ordinary, uncontrollable mess of humanity.
