Give Nietzsche a chance.
Everyone is always talking about the evils of Nietzscheism but how many of them actually read Nietzsche? Every time some sciociopath slaughters his way through suburban America, or a Russian takes an ax to a pawn broker, or a European tries to take over the world they have to lay the blame on Nietzsche’s grave. We can’t blame society or parents so let’s blame a dead German. I believe that any author worth hating is worth reading and what I have found in Nietzsche is an out pouring of hope and optimism about the human potential…and sexism, narcissism, and machismo, but that’s not the point. The point is I read the book and most of the idiots who talk about Nietzscheism have not. I hate people like that.

Zarathustra, however, looked at the people and wondered. Then he spake thus:
Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman-a rope over an abyss.
A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting.
What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal: what is lovable in man is that he is an over-going and a down-going.
I love those that know not how to live except as down-goers, for they are the over-goers.
