What arguments does N posit that argue against intellect and theorizing and in favor of instinct and spontaneity, and do they hold up?

Nietzsche already wrote about the limits of such forms of intellectualism, and why intuitive philosophers are infinitely better than those that toil in the academics.
Modern academia ought to be annihilated.

I cannot recall the exact quote, but someone here posted a quote from Nietzsche the other day. Nietzsche wrote that an intuitive person (or philosopher, although his definition is different from 'regular' philosophers here) is superior than one who bases his life in theorizing and academic intellectualism.
I cant find the quote though, so if someone has it i'd be eternally grateful. Besides that, i also wonder if there have been other philosophers who similarily took the side of intuition over theory?

What did N think of the anarchists/communists of his time? Was he critical of them or did he see them as kindred spirits?
Also, why did he see Goethe as a bona fide Ubermensch?

I know this is a contentious issue, but if N were alive today, what political current would he most closely be associated with?

is there anything he wasn't completely spot on about?

Ive been reading a lot nietzsche this year, and one thing i find curious is that people often say the far right misinterprets Nietzsche or butcher him for their own goals. But i dont see how his disgust for democracy, him dismissing man as a herd animal, his pro-aristocratic views, slave morality, and his concept of the Ubermensch cant be seen as explicitly hostile to liberalism and leftism, if not flat-out far right. And i really dont see how someone like Foucault can claim to be Nietzschean when he just takes his perspectivist epistemology and something of his genealogical method and then just discards the rest.

he was tired of life and sought his own demise because he wanted to die
