I disagree. Americans have been brainwashed into believing the psychobabble crap spewed by Marx, Nietsche, etc. because it morphed into all the psychobabble crap spewed by American authors like Miller, author of Catcher in the Rye, etc. Not a coincidence that most of those authors wound up under scrutiny from the HUAC.

Nietzsche, while not the originator, was the clearest, most thorough exponent of that body of ideas which afflicted Raskolnikov.
