“As there are prominent points of convergence between Nietzsche’s Aristocratic Radicalism and the political system of Napoleon I, so there are prominent points of convergence between Nietzsche’s Aristocratic Radicalism and the political system of Napoleon III. This should be obvious because the regime of Napoleon III, both in terms of its political administration and organization, emulated the regime of Napoleon I and established itself upon "Napoleonic ideas".
The general Napoleonic ideas that Napoleon III identifies in his apologetic manifesto, Napoleonic Ideas, published in 1839 and that Nietzsche would be in accord with are: the privileging of executive power (autocracy); the hierarchical reorganization of the state (aristocracy); the glorification of the Roman Empire and Julius Caesar; the support for the formation of a European union; an anti-English position; and the support of Jewish assimilation.”
