From what I’ve heard, the Russian nihilists were actually less hostile to the idea of the state than most revolutionaries (recall that the Marxists believed it should “wither away”). They were against so much of Russian society that they thought it would be necessary to use the state as a tool for changing it. But I agree that I was using “believe in nothing” for the sound. Perhaps they might have been better described with “make total destroy”.
