Troy: Certainly Plato's philosophy is a good example. The Nazi's were known
to have used his Republic as an outline for their own Nazi state, as well as
some of the ideas of both Marx and Nietzsche, though I would argue that
these were mostly tkaen out of context. Rousseau is another example. His
ideas were used as the foundation for the Terror in France, and his ideas
can undoubtedly be shown to give rise to both Marx's ideas and to various
"Marxist" countries.

George Pennefather: An interesting letter Troy. I would like to know for purposes of
reference what the evidence is that they the Nazi's used Plato's Republic as an
outline for their own Nazi state. I would also like to know how Rousseau's ideas were
used as the foundation of the Terror in France.

Comradely regards
George
