For orthodox Marxism to gain enough traction, it must stand on the side of the oppressed and the marginalized (despite the fact that no society can function without marginalization and oppression in some way) and the only way to do that is by picking up identity politics. If you reduce everything to singular causes and explain everything based on class struggle, you are engaged in identity politics.

Also what Capitalism are we talking, the Capitalism during the time of Karl Marx, the Capitalism during Lenin, Russian Capitalism, Icelandic Capitalism, Dutch Capitalism.

You can't reduce Capitalism to these transcendent ideals, Capitalism is not a unified entity but a practice and process.

Plus neither of us can make economic claims worth anything, we can grasp at basic economic interactions and maybe a little deeper knowledge of micro and macro economic concepts but no deeper than that.
You can say that Marxism sounds prefereable and that's fine, but to actively excercise the process of altering a society towards Socialism is unethical.

Nietzsche didn't even drink, smoke, drink coffee, etc.

Something tells me he'd respond to someone getting a tattoo inspired by his work with a condescending smirk.

Luckily you'd probably be spared the sight of it by his massive moustache.

Kaufmann was/is a cuck who tried to sanitize Nietzsche and make him palatable to our modern, Western Liberal Democratic sensitivities.

Modern publications are translated by the likes of R. Kevin Hill and Michael A. Scarpitti (particularly the latter) who are much more impartial and don't leave out the worst and most controversial of what Nietzsche had to say.

>I don't want any children though

Nietzsche, undoubtedly.

I own all his work.

>Nietzsche. He had a hard-on for asceticism.

Are you serious?

Are you actually fucking serious?

Buy yourself a copy of On the Genealogy of Morals.

Read his essay, "What is the meaning of ascetic ideals?"

Realize that he LOATHED ascetism, and was at best suspicious of those who were drawn to it.

Realize you're a shitposting retard.

Then finally, stop shitposting on this fucking board.

Ascetism is terrible, as is hedonism/etc. Why is this stupid board so dualistic, and so drawn to extremes?

>No one posts the last philosopher of note

Anything after 1900 has proven shit.

The poster deemed Nietzsche to be a "radical accelerationist progressive."

I'm saying that Nietzsche, by his own admission, considered "radical aristocrat" to be his best descriptor.

And yes, I like Spengler. Just saying that Evola is disproportionately trashed on /lit/, but whatever.

Pic related made the same point more than a century ago, only better.

We are living in the age of Last Men:

>The last man is tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security.

>The lives of the last men are pacifist and comfortable. There is no longer a distinction between ruler and ruled, strong over weak, or supreme over the mediocre. Social conflict and challenges are minimized. Every individual lives equally and in "superficial" harmony. There are no original or flourishing social trends and ideas. Individuality and creativity are suppressed.

>His writings are just (terrible) Egotistic diary entries, a Bourgeois /pol/ twink that jerked himself off over the brilliance of his self-induced "redpilling".

t. Last Man

She got BTFO by my nigga Joyce and she didnt have enough "brow" to even realize it
She sounds like low selfsteem mess (which she was) trying to feel better about herself looking down on people because of what they read
At least her face had a pleasing aesthetic

>he dreams of being a great writer but went into STEM for the job security
How does it feel being so much of an untermensch that it's literally impossible for you to take risks?

Do you even Nietzsche?
