Late nineteenth century Germany wasn't a liberal democracy user, I would venture to say that Nietzsche got more flack for being as anti-anti-semitic as he was than he would for being vaguely authoritarian.

nietzsche abandoned the project of will to power you fucken mong. his working method was to write down whatever random shit came into his head and then ruthlessly edit until only the great ideas remained. he had plans to destroy his will to power manuscripts but his nazi shit sister kept and published it specifically because it made him look fascist

Will to Power is not a book by Nietzsche, his sister Nazified it.

>being fooled by a woman

Will to Power is not a book but a selection of his Nachlass, selected by his proto-Nazi sister. Nietzsche contradicts himself often in his Nachlass and calling him a proto-fascist is ignoring the complexity of his thinking.

Poor Neetzsche is forced to be misunderstood by retards and edgy teens for all eternity.

this is what happens when you don't get a proper education. any decent secondary source, or just the wikipedia article as complimentary reading and you wouldn't be such a fucking retard. too late now

Is this bait or do you actually not know that the will to power was arranged and edited by his sister (a nazi sympathizer) after he went insane and could do nothing to stop her?

Fascism is just socialism for non-retarded people.

These people have it all wrong.

Kaufmann himself states that the Will to Power wasn't edited by his sister as much as people think.

Minus a handful of forgeries/omissions/etc, 99% of what's in the Will to Power was written by the Neetch himself. That his sister organized it doesn't change the fact that most was written by him.

Nietzsche was way more extreme than people give him credit for, particularly in his final years.

Not true by the way.
We don't live in the '30s anymore, Will to Power has been denazified 50 years ago by academics who had access to his entire archive. At this point one can read it without any sort of external influence/doctoring.

He really wasn't a nice, socialist philantrope, but he wasn't extremely serious about his ideas too (in that sense he's not a neo-reactionary, rather a polemicist who is conjuring other scenarios in other to show you the concepts he's talking about from a perspective that is not the accepted one), always keep in mind that he does not really offer any sort of actual foundation for his thought (meaning that it stems from certain arbitrary parameters that one may disagree with), and that he is fully aware of it. The GoM and GS makes that obvious, and so are certain sections in Will to Power. He is not offering you the final picture, he's just showing you that there is more to be said about what is considered obvious.

Why is it such a big deal if he was a proto-fascist? A lot of people were proto-fascists.

Because fascism is racist and bigoted Nazi shit ffs

It's obvious

He's not a proto-fascist, he is for a aristocracy that is supported with modesty and pragmatism by the people who are not at the top.
Nietzsche's ideal society does not resemble in the slightest the Italian Fascist and the German Nazi societies..

>nazi shit sister

Are people not allowed to be Nazis? Fuck off.

Nazis are objectively shit

Nazis are bottom-tier scum, the same level as the niggers they so hate.

>watchs american history X once

>Facism is just socialism for retarded people
FIFY

Or I just have to put up with a bunch of you cunts on a weekly basis.

>some sort of proto-fascist
wrong he was worse than the fascists

fascists cared about weak members of their groups, like children etc.

in nietzsche's ideal world the jews would have gassed the germans

this

he's not a proto-fascist but he is a proto-identitarian, except his vision of a unique, individualist, self is one above the fray of conventional ideals like christian morality and national folk traditions.

Wasn't the Will to Power one of those books that his sister compiled (and, thus, edited)?

Regardless, what's wrong with it?
Changing a few words here and there can change Nietzsche into a fascist. I don't see your point.

Nothing wrong with fascism. Stop being triggered lefties.

Even there you don't belong, fatty.

nice projection lmao.

>but he wasn't extremely serious about his ideas

His prescriptions to society are supposed to be questioned and overcome by the readers themselves, while his main ideas are not political in the slightest.

I never said his sister rewrote it. I'm saying that since Nietzsche's working method was to write down any thought he had, even if it at first seemed contradictory to what he usually believed. The leftover mass of contradicting notes makes it easy for an editor to purposely select passages that when paired together make him look fascist. You bring up Kaufmann but if you read his introduction to Will to Power, you'll find that since Nietzsche left over 12 different outlines for the book and thousands of different notes that could have been applicable to the project, the editor can really put any design to it they want.

The Will to Power was edited by his sister, an ardent German nationalist and anti-Semite. Nietzsche himself had nothing but disdain for proto-fascism.

And no, German nationalism was on the rise in Nietzsche's time, he probably would have been much more popular if he didn't attack those ideas.
