Totalitarianist

The only video game that I have played within the minimum space of the last five years is a video game called "Super Mario Bros 3" for a video game console called the "Nintendo Entertainment System" (and, I must say, it is very well crafted). I have moreover played a video game for the "Nintendo Entertainment System" that was in the language called "French", but that was played by be in a time other than the specified space of time. I have no recollection of playing any other video games within the aforementioned space of time. What video game system the game you speak of works under does not concern me, for I have only a Nintendo Entertainment System, and I am well aware of the video games I own for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

I will now tell you the source of inspiration for some of my former political ideas.

1)The ethics of Kant

2)Aristotle, who said that each state ought to be small enough for each person to know one another.

3)More

4)The government of ancient Sparta

5)The fact that any political lie can be believed by the people within the space of 2 generations, as demonstrated by 19th century Japan.

6)Stalinism and the Soviet Union

7)The ideas of various eugenicists who advocated the sterilisation of insane and feeble-minded people.

8)Marx's advocation of the abolition of private property and his position on capitalism.

9)Many ideas I picked up here and there from The Prince (or perhaps it was The Discourses--it has been so long), The Republic, Leviathan, various Marxist writers and advocators of authoritarian Marxism, the aristocracy of Nietzsche, monarchism and anti-democracy of Hegel, the history of Rome, and the history of England.

Totalitarianist

I am the ubermensch that Nietzsche spoke of. That does not mean that I am fond of his philosophy. I simply have all the traits that Nietzsche's ubermensch. I cannot help it that when Nietzsche described the ubermensch, he was describing me precisely.

Gurdur

I just wish the �bermenschen could spell properly.

It can also be spelled Uebermenschen, but never Ubermenschen.

�bermensch or Uebermensch in the singular.

Totalitarianist

I did spell it correctly.

Oxidizing Material

Jawohl!

Gurdur

Wrong !

Re-read Nietzsche, or any German commentator; or any guide on transliteration of German words imported into English.

Why? Is "Ubermenschen" such a bad word in German? Does it mean "motherfucker" or something?

Gurdur

Because "Ubermensch/en" simply doesn't exist as a word.

Opera Nut

Should I mention a particular famous blonde domestic maven, with her own tv show and her own magazine, whom I refer to as the "ueberhausfrau"?

Gurdur

Why not ?
Then the two Uebermenschen could get together - it would be a marriage made in heaven, or probably hell, but in any event, well worth watching.
