Turning Nietzsche into a fascist is the second or third most boring thing you can do with him. But, actually, that would be a step above what you're doing, because you're not even a fascist. No one in today's world who calls themselves a fascist really is. The old fascists read Marx and Proudhon and Sorel and Maurras and Marinetti. Today's "fascists" read——some Twitteroid who represents himself with a picture of some triangular looking tard at the beach. Or that Italian sex wizard Evola. If you want to be a right-wing Nietzschean, read Strauss or Ludovico or Spengler or Sloterdijk or Mishima. But Mishima read Bataille too. And he probably would have read Foucault, had he lived long enough to see the publication of Foucault's Discipline and Punish and the History of Sexuality. Would Nietzsche, the man who lauded Petronius' Satyricon, really have anything to do with the Nazis and their hatred of "degenerate art"? Not even broaching the topic of anti-Semitism.

Wagner was anaemic..

>What does our chatter about the Greeks amount to! What do we understand of their art, the soul of which is passion for naked male beauty! It was only from that viewpoint that they were sensible of female beauty. Thus their perspective on female beauty was quite different from ours. And similarly with their love of women: they reverenced differently, they despised differently.
- Nietzsche
