There is very little doubt that these people are confused (Nietzsche was a 
minor interesting figure, Heidegger & evola two cretins that while preaching to 
the Nazis to go to the right invented laughably bad literature – see “Il 
cammino del cinabro” junk or the great treatise on truth which is a forest with 
a clearing that is not very clear etc.)
Then again, what do the Ucl fear?

The University College London’s student union barred a self-described 
“Nietzsche Club” from holding meetings on campus because of concerns that the 
group, which advertised discussions of the philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche, 
Martin Heidegger and Julius Evola and which printed the phrase “Equality is a 
false God” on its posters, was formed to promote fascism or might have ties to 
fascist organizations, The Daily Beast 
reported<http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/06/05/university-college-london-s-nietzsche-club-is-banned.html>.
