How does the Heidegger's work Being and Time relate to the Conservative revolution in Germany?
I have heard of Heidegger's connection to the German Conservative Revolution of 1920. Are any of the ideas outlined in his main work related to conservatism?

In any case, although some concepts such as destiny, anti-scientism or authenticity may be related to Nazi, pre-Nazi and post-Nazi conservatism, Being and Time eludes these political questions raised in other later writings, such as the Rectoral speech.
Although the 1914 Black Notebooks already include some anti-Semitic paragraphs, it would be very difficult to see them reflected in Being and Time.
NYRB headlines Ilyin as "Putin's Philosopher." An academic type, perhaps at least a bit into the German Idealism/Romantic schtick......as embraced at the edges by Nazi Heidegger -- et al.
May be, may be not. E.g. Kant pointed out that synthetic judgements are an ability, not a necessity.
