On top of that Bataille also massively influenced Foucault. Certainly worth a read though be prepared to accidentally stumble upon scat porn or self-mutilation while going through his work
The guy started as a smut writer and then later got into politics and philosophy. He has my favorite posting beef ever, on par with Marx and Stirner, where he feuded with the French absurdist art movement. They prominently claimed Marquis de Sade as an influence to which Bataille called them grifting posers because (paraphrasing here) “they didn’t even eat shit.” Absolutely wild dude. Started a cult and tried to get his cult friends to assassinate him as a Jesus figure in a poorly thought out plan to stop the rise of fascism
I don’t know who they are or how they relate

Oh I’ve heard of the mass psychology of fascism. I’ll add that to the list
