Shades of Nazism?

Sen. Bong Go’s pining for a superman figure recalls its originator, the 19th-century thinker Nietzsche, whose philosophy (“Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” “Beyond Good and Evil,” “God is Dead,” etc.) became associated, rightly or wrongly, with Nazism and was often quoted by Hitler. We don’t want to go down that road, surely?
