Will to Power and Species

Whether or not he intends it as such, Nietzsche is claimed as an influence by several subsequent political movements: Naziism, Straussism, and Randism, for example.  In each case, to varying degrees of radicality, the theme is an Inegalitarianism derived from cherry-picked passages espousing the Will to Power.  Now, as has been previously discussed, that interpretation of the Will to Power, which Nietzsche unarguably encourages, is at odds with a more rigorously developed version of the concept, in which the species, not any of its individual members, is the subject of the volition.  Thus, undeveloped by Nietzsche himself, though casually considered by Heidegger, among a few others, is the concept of Technological progress as the goal of a Species Will to Power.  On the other hand, not at all considered has been the possibility of the Will to Power qua Self-Overcoming as applied to the Species.  In either case, this alternative version of the Will to Power entails none of the Inegalitarianism that characterizes its counterpart.
