Reply to comment by Lanky_Fella in In your words, what's the value of Friedrich Nietzsche? by Monami1805

Sartre, Camus and Foucault 's ideas were profoundly influenced by Nietzsche... Marx almost certainly not, though you can't discount the possibility of a reaction against Nietzsche's ideas. Just in terms of pure destructive influence, Nietzsche and Marx have almost certainly had the most impact on the events of the last century, though they can't carry the blame for the abuses and misinterpretations of their followers.

Marx wrote before Nietzsche so if anything the reaction was the other way around

You're quite right, I had it in my mind they were published contemporaneously, for some reason.
