Nietzsche, Godfather of Fascism?

[Dave Monroe]

This is something I think we've seen often enough in
the case of Derrida as well.  Not to mention perhaps
Pynchon.  But back to JD, I believe it's in
"Otobiographies" (The Ear of the Other) where Derrida
takes up the question of Nietzsche's (and, presumably,
Derrida's) own responsibility vis a vis subsequent
"misreadings."  Oh, wait ....

"Even Jacques Derrida, despite insisting that
'Nietzsche's utterances are not the same as those of
the Nazi ideologists and not only because the latter
grossly caricature the former to the point of
apishness,' cannot refrain from wondering, in
reference to Nietzsche's case, 'how and why what is so
naively called a falsification was possible (one can't
falsify anything).'"
