Say what you will, Nietzsche was right (right wing that is! Oh ho ho ho) but seriously, he was right and still is. If you don't like what he has to say, you are probably too stupid to understand it, or too dogmatic to accept it (his argument, not mine). Furthermore, as has been observed in other reviews here, discovering Nietzsche doth not the ubermensch make. If you come away from his writings with anything other than a sense of personal failure and a refreshed sense of the crushing burden of human patheticness, you are probably missing the point (unless you happen to be cackling unstoppably, in which case congratulations, mission accomplished).

The argument that his social criticisms are somehow intended to be analogous to the development of the individual (the defense from accusations of proto-Nazism) is of far more use to professional Nietzsche scholars than to the student of Nietzsche. He is quite clearly saying what he means to say.
