It should be noted that there has long been a Nietzschean-Marxist tradition as well, dating as far back as the 1890s when some German Social Democrats began to discuss the potential usefulness of Nietzsche. In Russia following the 1905 revolution, certain Bolshevik writers like Lunacharsky began to take an interest in Nietzsche, whose ideas they wished to incorporate into Marxism. Lenin condemned this but one can finds hints of Nietzschean ideas in Bolsheviks like Trotsky and Bukharin. Jim F. -- "B." wrote: Charles Brown and others on "Nietzsche as the anti-Marx": You can engage with Nietzsche and Marx at the same time (as Robert Wood said) in the sense you can engage with Ambrose Bierce (whose Devil's Dictionary has some sexist stuff but also acerbic gems on capital/labor relations, religions, state power, etc) & HL Mencken, while also engaging with Marxism at the same time, even if the writers' views don't always neatly fit together.
