An Interview with Terry Eagleton

[Madeleine Maudlin]

Marx even called himself a left Hegelian.  He wasn't even shy about the
wholesale theft.  I've always wondered about how you could take somebody
else's idea apply it elsewhere, turn it on its head whatever, and possibly
expect it to be true, or to suggest it might be true.

"Well look mate, that's Hegel."
"Yes but now it's right."

Is Nietzsche right wing?  He's anti-nationalist.  Anti-democracy.  Neither
of those two things place a person on the right.
