>Nietzsche wouldn't encourage anyone to reject the teachings of a book, not in the proto-fascist way as indicated in that image.
That your opinion comes down to reacting to an image.. now I laugh. And what makes you think that "proto-fascist" image isn't just a representation of pic-related?

>Even then, Nietzsche definitely disagreed with Marx, but they agreed capitalism was vulgar and reduced people.
Their respective critiques of capitalism are
>They also agreed that viewing people in the most naturalistic way possible is best.
Again, their conceptions of psychology are incredibly distinct

>So they aren't in disagreement except in minor ways.
Even if this was true, which I doubt, I think the comparison is distasteful. Compare their lives around attending the university of Bonn, one is full of riches completely ripe, the other less so. One has reached canonical fame in general philosophy, the other's associations are mainly political.

Ecce Homo is short enough but if you look at the chapter titles you'll find the specific the answer to your question.

Kaufmann's interpretation isn't shitty. He brought scholarly rigor (from academic experience in German and 19th century philosophy) to the English Nietzsche. Because of that he could highlight many things that layman translators missed.

He isn't shitty, just whitewashing. He was invested in both his Zeitgeist (hence, the exaggeration of individualism, and downplaying anything remotely fascistic) and promoting his own work (popularising 'Existentialism'). The former bias is precisely why he was so crucially effective at rehabilitating Nietzsche as a primary source in English.

>Why do people claim he wasn't a philosopher. Seems like rhetoric
Yep, firstly they don't even define philosophy or philosopher. Then they ignore Nietzsche's history and definition of them. If you too eagerly pick up on how different his work appears to the tradition then of course you'd miss the subtler ways in which he still belongs to it.
