James Heartfield:
What about Heidegger's signature on the Nazi Party membership card, renewed every year from 1933 to 1943 - is it too much to read a political affiliation into that?

Uh, yeah, it means he was a member of the Nazi Party. Who ever denied that? I thought it was until 1945.
As is abundantly clear, Heidegger pre-1935 or so believes Nazism was the force that would raise the German people from its degradation. Later, he believed that Nazism was in essence a good thing, but that the Nazi leadership distorted that essence because they were too stupid, and so Nazism became, like capitalism and communism, just another form of the "technological understanding of being."
Mainly, Heidegger made an extremely bad political choice, and being the narcissist he was, was almost incapable of admitting he ever made a mistake.
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
