Ready-to-hand

Since H's "America" has been brought up, I'd like
to clarify a point which has been bothering me,
but which must be obvious to advanced H'ians.

H defines Dasein as "for itself" and as having
"worldhood", and contrasts this with everything
else in a way which seems to parallel the traditional
Christian teaching that (non-human) Nature is not
an end in itself, but Man's usufruct.

Does not this subsumption of the world of Nature to Dasein
logically contain the Brave New America/USSR he so
abominates?
