I'm removing the link to Utilitarianism, since "Utilitarian" in this sense is not referring to the ethical theory, rather it is referring to a motivation of material gain as distinct from a motivation of hatred or disgust.Mrperson59 (talk) 05:35, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the Holocaust also a form of Utilitarian Genocide?

While it was absolutely ideological in motivation due to racial science beliefs and such, it was also done however for the purposes of a Utilitarian Genocide at least in part, due to the policy of Lebensraum. Genabab (talk) 17:44, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
