Jim F. : -clip-Nietzsche died around 1900 but his sister lived on until the mid-1930s. In the 1920s, she was a stauch supporter of Mussolini, and in the 1930s of Hitler, and she attempted to show that her late brother's philosophy lent support to both fascism and National Socialism.

CB: The thing is though, that when you read Nietzsche it does not seem very hard to make him compatible with the Fascists or Nazis. The difference is way too subtle for Nietzche to be some great liberating thinker. He seems such a petit bourgeois rebel.

When she died, Hitler gaver her a state funeral.
