don't blame Nietszche, that's blaming the messenger. I've read his work and
I have no fault to find with much of it. What I was saying was that it was
an absolutely total misunderstanding of the Ubermench concept that led
Hitler astray.

Now, I know that Nietzsche wasn't inspired by Blavatsky , if nothing else
it's temporally impossible, but I doubt if someone of Nietzsche'sstature
needs too much "inspiration". His sister was an evil woman. But he's not the
only great man whose reputation has been sullied by his relations. But we
all know that many scholars and historians accuse Blavatsky of being one of
Hitler's inspirations for his racial theories.
No one knows, during his time in Vienna, when he was pursuing his occult
studies, he could have indeed read the Secret doctrine, he was an avid
reader. But there's no proof at all, either way.
