Nietzsche predicts and criticizes the Nazis, supports them against feminism

For people who were still wondering whether Nietzsche was an early Nazi or not:

>Socialism as the logical conclusion of the tyranny of the least and the dumbest, i.e., those who are superficial, envious, and three-quarters actors — is indeed entailed by "modern ideas" and their latent anarchism; but in the tepid air of democratic well-being the capacity to reach conclusions, or to finish, weakens. One follows — but one no longer sees what follows. Therefore socialism is on the whole a hopeless and sour affair; and nothing offers a more amusing spectacle than the contrast between the poisonous and desperate faces cut by today's socialists — and to what wretched and pinched feelings their style bears witness! — and the harmless lambs' happiness of their hopes and desiderata. Nevertheless, in many places in Europe they may yet bring off occasional coups and attacks: there will be deep "rumblings" in the stomach of the next century, and the Paris commune, which has its apologists and advocates in Germany, too, was perhaps no more than a minor indigestion compared to what is coming. But there will always be too many who have possessions for socialism to signify more than an attack of sickness — and those who have possessions are of one mind on one article of faith: "one must possess something in order to be something." But this is the oldest and healthiest of all instincts: I should add, "one must want to have more than one has in order to become more." For this is the doctrine preached by life itself to all that has life: the morality of development. To have and to want to have more — growth, in one word — that is life itself. In the doctrine of socialism there is hidden, rather badly, a "will to negate life"; the human beings or races that think up such a doctrine must be bungled. Indeed, I should wish that a few great experiments might prove that in a socialist society life negates itself, cuts off its own roots. The earth is large enough and man still sufficiently unexhausted; hence such a practical instruction and demonstratio ad absurdum would not strike me as undesirable, even if it were gained and paid for with a tremendous expenditure of human lives. In any case, even as a restless mole under the soil of a society that wallows in stupidity, socialism will be able to be something useful and therapeutic: it delays "peace on earth" and the total mollification of the democratic herd animal; it forces the Europeans to retain spirit, namely cunning and cautious care, not to abjure manly and warlike virtues altogether, and to retain some remnant of spirit, of clarity, sobriety, and coldness of the spirit — it protects Europe for the time being from the marasmus femininus that threatens it.

Tl;dr Yes he was.

He was against pure socialism and for militarist imperialism basically. So yeah.

> t. undergrads who willfully ignore an entire body of work in order to remain ideologically pure

Wrong, I'm 25 and have been reading through Nietzsche's works for the past 8 years. Which body of work do you think I ignored and why are you ignoring the OP?

> I'm 25

lol

i.e. I have a degree.

Sauce?

You are so fucking retarded holy shit.
He's talking about material socialism, off the back of Marx himself. There is none of the social dimension of the 21st century with feminism and the like. This has nothing to do with feminism, but he did have criticism of women because he was too short sighted to see them elevated out of their position of homemakers, that they too could break from all their cultural baggage. That breakage is really what nietzsche is after, what he's criticizing is slave morality in which one bows to others in order to uphold something that props up an abstract idea which the powerful use to dominate others, the church and fascism fall under this category as well. His criticism is that it is life denying, and that one should instead strive to affirm life and appease the will. Also he was predicting a socialist uprising in Germany you dingus.

He wold have browsed /pol/ if he were alive today, face it, liberal scum. He was a known supporter of Hitler
