      Agreed, and to some degree she succeeded! Hitler and Goebbels absolutely cribbed the idea of an uber-mensch race, a race of men that can, do and will succeed outside of their time and place, from Nietzsche. However, because of Hitler's and Nazi ideology overall's obsession with the past, German idealism, and German nationalism, it is ultimately a radical departure from Nietzsche, whose belief was that the uber-mensch doesn't need to concern himself with the past because by his very nature he will transcend it, and unlike Hegel's 'Miverna's owl of wisdom at twilight' he will be aware of that ascension at it is happening because he has willed it to be. Not a race of men who have and did will themselves to be, but somehow it didn't work?

      This should sound very familiar to anybody who is familiar with libertarianism. However, we, as materialists, understand that Nietzsche was correct that history occurs in repeating cycles and the nihilism that occurs from that realization, but we believe that we either overcome it collectively by altering the fundamental relationship to the means of production, or not at all. Which is clearly shown in libertarians falling for the same grifts again and again.
