:shrug-outta-hecks: I enjoyed my read of How to Philosophize with a Hammer and Sickle
not saying this jacobin thing is gonna be any good, but also it's not like this hasn't been done before lol
also, just wanna say: blanket labeling Nietzsche as the Nazi's philosopher without investigation is really just submitting to and affirming their instrumentalization of him, without critical engagement with the work (and how it has been, historically, misappropriated by opportunists). Still, there's plenty of interesting stuff to salvage from him imo
As usual for this website, people here are reading a title (and nothing else), assuming they know what's being said, and then jumping over each other to make the most outraged reaction. Anybody who knows about the book or the person who wrote it knows it is not at all a celebration of Nietzsche or a fond comparison of him with Marx. Even the article says as much openly.

Agree completely with your last paragraph.
