EDIT: Not to mention that what you're stating is a fallacy on several levels.

How long did it take you to write up this cute little load of nonsense?
Also, what do Bentham and Mill have in common with Kant? Do you know who Kant follows? Do you know anything about Hegel? Nietzsche? Kojeve? Please provide some logical evidence as to why you would lump these three thinkers together? How does Utilitarianism fit in with German Idealism? They clearly do not, as any political theorist "worth his salt" would tell you.
