Historical nihilism is a term originating from the Communist Party of China describing viewpoints that disparage and devalue the achievements of the proletarian revolutions in the Soviet Union and China in order to undermine continued socialist development.

Infrared maintains that historical nihilism universally means an effort to specifically forget, ignore, revise, etc. the history of individual or collective phenomena. For example, in its efforts to rejects its own history, the West, as a collective being, is historically nihilist in its rejection of the truth of its past-- that being their rejection of the origin of the Modern Universal State laying within the Mongol empire.
