In his youth, Sartre drank coffee on the boulevard with Heidegger's thoughts in his head. In his later years, he made his radically free choice (as he might have characterized it) to support Marxist ideology and totalitarian genocides (all "for the good of the people", of course)—a contemptible choice.

I'm sorry I ever spent any time reading Sartre's Being and Nothingness, and I'm glad my younger self was at least able to realize that Sartre's literary efforts weren't worth the time required to read them.

Tells you a lot about that twit from Breaking All The Rules that he chose "Sartre" as his pen name.
