14.With respect to contemporary theories of hegemony,
again, Nietzsche provided important originary insights. 
It is “the worship of the ‘power of history,’”which Nietzsche 
claims: turns every moment into a sheer gaping at success, 
into an idolatry of the actual: for which we have now 
discovered the characteristic phrase “to adapt ourselves to
circumstances.” But the man who has once learned to crook
the knee and bow the head before the power of history, nods
yes at last, like a Chinese doll, to every power, whether it be a
government or a public opinion or a numerical majority; and
his limbs move correctly as the power pulls the string. If each
success have come by a “rational necessity,” and every event
show the victory of logic or the “idea,” then – down on your
knees quickly, and let every step in the ladder of success have
its reverence! There are no more living mythologies you say?
Religions are at their last gasp? Look at the religion of the power
history, and the priests of the mythology of Ideas, with their
scarred knees! Do not all the virtues follow in the train of the
new faith? And shall we not call it unselfishness, when the
historical man lets himself be turned into a “objective” mirror
of all that is?
