About this listen
When the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche talks about "will to power", it has nothing to do with the will to dominate. To understand a man like Nietzsche, you have to have at least the same standard of consciousness, if not higher. Fascists like Adolf Hitler and other totalitarian politicians are too foolish - it is impossible to think that they can understand the meaning of Nietzsche. "The will to power" is diametrically opposite to the will to dominate. The will to dominate comes out of an inferiority complex, wanting to dominate others to prove superiority. The really superior person needs no proof. He certainly has a "will to power", but with a very fine distinction. His will to power means: He wants to grow to his fullest expression.
It has nothing to do with anybody else, its whole concern is the individual himself.
