Personally, I think it's more like Dostoevsky's The Demons.
Of course, this time, the Nihilists have allied with the conservatives, and they've won. Of course, having the least charitable billionaire on earth prey on the previously unspoken fears of an increasingly radicalised base certainly helps with that.
That said, remembering that bit about Shigalyovism, it seems like the Nihilists in that book may have been less monstrous than the Republican Party has been lately. Mitch McConnell is looking at the "90% of the population enslaved so the remaining 10% can flourish" and thinking "Only Ninety percent?"
