He's basically a Rorschach test and you'll take from him what you want to take from him. You can't treat him like a political theorist because he doesn't offer anything close to a coherent political system, just a bunch of scattered critiques of different thinkers and philosophies. There is something that the right and left can find in him because he contains multitudes. It's true, for example, that he was against socialism, but there are leftist threads that are also against socialism, such as certain variants of anarchism. At the same time he was for instance highly critical of organized religion -- Christianity in general -- which is more of a leftist thing, for example. Nietzche would have also abhorred Nazism because he was anti-nationalist and had a very poor, highly critical opinion of his native Germany. He also loathed anti-Semitism, going so far as to say "I will have all antisemites shot." People of virtually all political persuasions have claimed Nietzsche as on of their own, from anarchists to fascists. Even older liberals like Rawls liked him. You read Nietzche not to pick "a side" but for his unique and incomparable writings about morality, the classics, history, culture critique, religion, philosophy, psychology, and so on. Some of it is quacky, but all of it is food for thought. Only a daft person has to believe everything they read for them to find value in a thinker.
