>"According to these cases, it's been observed in Nietzsche the antipositivist who rejects science, or the antidemocrat who despises low class people and the emergent class."

>"There is no doubt that, on more than one occasion, he anticipated Freud; it's been analyzed his influx to the artistic vanguard movements of the 20s (german expressionism and french surrealism) due to his criticism towards the bourgeois culture, and nobody questions his influences on men like Rilke and Thomas Mann."
>"In addition, there is a whole interpretive current that saw in Nietzsche the nazism prophet, the military violence and the aryan race superiority"

I remember that a book from a soviet author who claimed that Nietzsche was the Philosopher of Imperialism, the use of force and militarism. There are even others who affirm that the Übermensch is the philosopher of culture neglectfulness and tries to set the basis of a counterculture. Nonsense is proclaimed by those who don't understand Nietzsche. They have read Nietzsche, "studied" his writings, but they don't get to comprehend the greatness of his thoughts.
