Blame it on Plato.........

Dude, it takes a twisted-sister reading on Martin Heidegger and his differentiation of sein und dasein and connect the dots the way you seem to think draws a straight line from Rousseau to Nietzsche and Marx and Fichte.

You through in a list of philosophers that you apparently haven't read and certainly don't have a clue as to what they were saying. I really don't care except that it is embarrassing to see.

If you are really interested, may I suggest you read Hanna Arendt on POWER in which she carries Heideggers work beyond the point where he became the apologist for Hitler. Read also his contemporary, Karl Jaspers and get a better handle on the era. Heidegger is important in his discussion of being, beyond that philosophy has largely ignored him because of his political capitulation to the Nazi movement simply because he was impatient with liberalism and admired the will of the movement. If Martin Heidegger is to be damned it would be because of his caving in to conservatism of the far right and abandonment of liberalism.
