[lbo-talk] Nietzsche, Mencken, and anarchism

[B.]

With Chaz Bufe's permission I've reprinted his
excellent introduction to HL Mencken's _The Philosophy
of Friedrich Nietzsche_; his introduction provides an
excellent overview of where the philosophies of
Nietzsche, Mencken, and anarchism (or, more broadly,
anti-capitalist left-libertarianism) dovetail, but
also where they diverge.

A bonus is that unlike so much contemporary
scholarship on Nietzsche, Bufe's account does not wade
in the muck and mire of purple, PoMo-inspired prose.
It's straightforward and clearly written.
