That’s silly, of course he thought it was a good thing. It’s just man had to become so advanced now that it had an unbelievably daunting task in front of it. But this new path of apotheosis, becoming god rather than worshiping god, was inevitable. But no one wants to read Nietzsche in this way. Everyone worships an external god slavishly, waiting for someone to save them. Apotheosis is considered the most evil concept in our society. Never mind that we look up at its image in the Capitol rotunda.

​@@meltingintoair7581Then you obviously haven't actually read the work. "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us?" Paraphrasing some of the rest of the work, predicted that there would be a mountain of bodies as a result of God's death in the world because humans are incapable of coming up with our own transcendent value structure, and inevitably our flawed ideologies will result in oceans of blood. All one has to do is look at the philosophies and their resulting genocides of the 20th century to see he was right.

Nietzsche despised fascism. There’s reason to believe the Nazification of Nietzsche was a project undertaken by his sister who was quite fond of National Socialism.

I highly recommend Sue Prideaux’s biography of Nietzsche, I Am Dynamite. She sets the record straight about how Nietzsche’s sister, Elizabeth forced her brother’s philosophy to fit with her anti-Semitism and German nationalism. Nietzsche himself was anti-war, anti-nationalistic, and in his last written correspondence, wished that all anti-Semites be shot (I believe the letter was to Overbeck).

You have PhD level people who pick and choose from whatever intellectual works of ages past. There's nothing new about that. There's nothing new about how post modernism (a largely leftist endeavour), builds on Nietzsches Perspectivism. Nietzsche picked up a dictionary in one hand and a thesaurus in the other, and basically blasted everyone from Wagner to Christians, to classical liberals. Nietzsche can't control antisemites admiration for him, anymore than the antisemites can control Nietzsche admiration for semitic cultures (old testament god, Zarathustra, etc.). I understand it's a short, so perhaps there's more nuance in the interview, but this short is pretty dumb.

This isn't accurate, or at least, is a shallow read of him. He very clearly commented on politics and expressed political beliefs. His politics have been summarized as 'Aristocratic Radicalism'. He just refused to think on the same terms as had been set by the past 500 years of western civilization. He was pro-hierarchy, pro-aristocracy, anti-nationalist, anti-racialist, anti-Christian, anti-anti-semitic, anti-egalitarian, anti-democracy, anti-liberal, AND anti-conservative. He was simply just not easy to classify (but there is an actual coherence to it, despite how superficially baffling it might seem at first), but he was not merely 'apolitical'. That's said, most of his insights could be better understood as meta-political rather than properly political.

Intellectual historian Robert Whatmore spends a snippet of time in his book, “What is intellectual history” discussing why tracing Rousseau’s ideas to the French Revolution is inaccurate. Most neglect to consider the fact that the context of Rosseau’s “Social Contract” was the governance of small states like Switzerland, not France. Based on that, I am highly skeptical of his ideas that Nietzsche is the precursor to national socialism. Part of the reason why Nazis needed a PhD was to be well-educated enough to know how to appropriate Nietzsche’s work for the Nazi cause.

Goebbels likely read Karl Marx just to be extra sure not to follow anything Marx said We know this from the economic policies that the Nazis followed. They were the exact opposite of Marx Historically, did the Nazis practice more nationalizing (left-wing economics), or more privatizing (right wing economics)? When you know the answer to this, you will know whether the Nazis were left-wing or right-wing. The historical record indicates that the Nazi regime in Germany did not practice significant nationalization of formerly private firms. The only notable exception is the creation of the “Reichswerke Hermann Göring” for iron ore exploitation; the overall trend was reprivatization of enterprises wherever possible. Notably, the big German banks were reprivatized, and the state withdrew from their boards. The Nazis also developed a partnership with leading German business interests, favoring cartels and monopolies over small businesses. As for the question of whether the Nazis were right-wing or left-wing, it’s a complex issue. While the term “National Socialist” suggests socialism, the Nazi party’s actions did not align with traditional socialist policies. Their economic policies included privatization, limited trade, and an emphasis on military rearmament. Overall, the Nazis’ ideology and actions place them closer to the right-wing end of the political spectrum. // The Nazis: Right-Wing Economic Policies in Practice 1. Hitler's rise to power involved suppressing leftist movements, including the Communist Party and labor unions. 2. Rather than nationalizing industries, the Nazis favored collaboration with big businesses. They sought to strengthen the private sector. 4. The Nazis privatized formerly state-owned enterprises. The Nazis temporarily nationalized/“seized” some private enterprises, only to sell them to private parties. They aimed for a competitive, market-driven economy. 3. Major German corporations supported the Nazi regime, benefiting from government contracts and favorable policies. 5. Deregulation by the Nazis allowed businesses more freedom, aligning with right-wing economic ideals. 6. The Nazis suppressed labor movements, dismantled unions, and curtailed workers' rights. 7. The Nazis prioritized the interests of employers and industrialists over workers. The Nazis selectively curtailed personal liberties, against working class, and favoring wealthy elites.

Sorry Freddie, but Ideas have consequences. Yes, he was very intelligent and brilliant, but his philosophy was poorly formed, emotion-based, and lacking in basic humane ethical concern. When your entire career is a panegyric for the theoretical Man of Power who will come and rule by the power of his will and his will to power, and you end up with a totalitarian dictatorship, who do you really have to blame? We only tend to think of the Nazi's in regards to their racial beliefs and then say, "Well, Nietzche wasn't really an anti-semite," so he's cleared. Racialism was an insidious symptom of Nazi ideology, but not it's defining factor. Nazism believed in the corporatist unification of the state behind a Fuhrer who was strong enough to take it and hold it. Gee, I wonder which modern philosopher, read by all educated Germans, is not only the only one which would even allow for such an ideaology, but practically demands it? Nietzche's ghost looking back in horror and clutching his proverbial pearls over Nazism saying, "Oh how terrible," is a sick joke. He was brilliant, but he was also a sick man who inflicted the world with a sick philosophy, and as I said, ideas have consequences.

Those who go straight to the Ubermensch aspect of Nietzsche is always quite telling. You’ve missed out on the most profound work and highlight what today would be considered despicable. Even then it’s misunderstood . Nietzsche suffered terribly throughout his life and still managed to write the most enthralling, optimistic and powerful philosophy we have. If you’re surprised at the use of optimistic when describing Nietzsche work, you’ve been reading him wrong.

@@Missgevious A Philosophy major who wrote essays. You must be right then. An attempted argument from authority isn’t a good argument. I find it staggering that people who read him (especially if they have studied him) find him negative. He observed what was happening in the world, and was right, but that doesn’t make him negative. His work is about authenticity, agency, responsibility, not following him but finding your own path, he was influential in celebrating the individual but recognised that we also needed a super structure. . Unless your religious and can’t get past “the god is dead” quote, which he didn’t write as a positive event. I maintain when really going into his work, it is positive. This work from someone who suffered terribly from crippling illness when alive but found the strength to write so wonderfully. As it seems to matter to you I’m an existential psychotherapist, and have read Nietzsche for the last 35 years. You don’t get him after one reading. His work also needs to be read as a whole. Your opinion is yours to have, I just think it’s missing the essence of what his work was about. Best wishes
