Eggplant Boy provided me with this helpful link to Double Plus Ungood ThoughtCrime provoking books, including one that suggests that in a capitalist society, those who hold the capital might try to maximize profit. Do not allow these books to contaminate your precious bodily fluids at any cost, citizen!

But why would wingnuts have Mein Kampf and Nietzsche in the 'bad' list? Their own description of "Beyond Good and Evil" seems like a page out of their playbook:
Here Nietzsche argued that men are driven by an amoral “Will to Power,” and that superior men will sweep aside religiously inspired moral rules, which he deemed as artificial as any other moral rules, to craft whatever rules would help them dominate the world around them. “Life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, overpowering of the strange and weaker, suppression, severity, imposition of one’s own forms, incorporation and, at the least and mildest, exploitation,” he wrote.
Does that hit too close to home or something? Are they truly that deluded?

Well no, see, the threat here is that they're in a position to MAKE the religiously inspired rules, and anybody who says those rules are not overwhelmingly important is harmful.
