This is a retarded take. Nietzsche is a pessimist who rejects herd morality and regards man as a fallen animal. Of course he doesn't believe in the creation of a state that will solve the tensions within man that lay at the origin of philosophical inquiry. But he repeatedly emphasizes a disdain for democratic politics in contrast to grand political institutions that could operate over long time horizons. This is a direct consequence of his belief in a literal biological degeneration in Europeans and the mixing of classes resulting in a lack of individuals capable of real leadership and the threat of herd morality extinguishing this type of individual.

>More than just Indian wars and Asian intrigues might be needed to relieve Europe of its greatest danger – inner
rebellions might be needed aswell, the dispersion of the empire into small bodies, and, above all, the introduction of parliamentary nonsense, added to which would be the requirement that every man read his newspaper over breakfast. This is not something I am hoping for. I would prefer the opposite, – I mean the sort of increase in the threat Russia poses that would force Europe into choosing to become equally threatening and, specifically, to acquire a single will by means of a new caste that would rule over Europe, a long, terrible will of its own, that could give itself millennia-long goals: – so that the long, spun-out comedy of Europe’s petty provincialism and its dynastic as well as democratic fragmentation of the will could finally come to an end. The time for petty politics is over: the next century will bring the struggle for the domination of the earth – the compulsion to great politics.

Nietzsche's rejection of the "politics" of his day was a rejection of politics defined along the lines of modern democratic states and provincial nationalisms. In The Antichrist he talks about his admiration for the Roman Empire and even the Catholic Church at the point of the Renaissance. There is no way around his illiberal politics so leftoids just obscure the discussion because they only want to appropriate his amorality or anti-Christian stance to justify their disgusting habits.
