Nietzsche thought that some socialism was just a clumsy inversion of christian nihilism, antiseptical to life. sin he was a very septic thinker, shit no, he didn't like that. an he didn't think that the maxim "to each according to his disability, from each according to his miserability" was a good one. but the original marxian equation reconizes an inequality too, right? if everything is equally valuable, it's valueless. Makin' copies: Herr Nietzsche, makin' values. The Nietzschianator. an what N was objecting to was the making a small existence smaller through resentments, reacting rather than acting. revolution (meet the new boss) not volition.

half-educated, as usual.
