Does Heidegger really mean that much to you, that we
should use _exactly_ the same words as you do? It is
a discussion between Rafael and me. Rafael believes
that this passage is a criticism of Hitler. I
paraphrased it _roughly_ to give him an _impression_
of my view. If I had been more explicit I would have
referred to parallels with Plato's _Statesman_. Not
to race and discrimination.
