Nietzsche argued against them and their philosophy but I dont remember him saying dont read them. I certainly would have never made such a statement. Nietzsche was a Classics professor after all and I believe he even taught as class on Plato.

Your last paragraph is literally the exact philosophy of Nietzsche. he accepted Schope's pessimistic view of life and instead of rejecting it advocated embracing it. He even said one of the only values he respects in people is being able to look and perceive the terrible truths of the world. I feel like you haven't read Nietzsche.

The New York Trilogy is excellent. I would recommend you read that first. A lot of the rest is trash.

I'm not sure how what you quoted relates to your argument but I disagree.

You can think about it owning things but at the end of the day it's just math telling people the optimal way to allocate resources.

Either way production is below my concern as long as the society is stable, and productive. All that really matters is that the upper class has enough to allow it to flourish.
