This discussion is an excellent supplement to your illuminating book ‘How to read like a parasite’.. so much insight here from transversal racism to the elective affinity of ‘outright elitism on the Right and a critical elitism on the left’ ..
Aren't there two Nietzsches forever in tension, maybe in irreconcilable contradiction? There is the conservative, hierarchical, individualist political project. But there is also his aggressive anti-foundationalism and perspectivism - which has clearly appealed to anarchists, feminists, queer theorists, and more broadly deconstruction and psychoanalysis. Adorno, Butler, Foucault, Derrida, Wendy Brown - they all make it pretty explicit what they like in Nietzsche. P.S. Not a fan of Deleuze; his Nietzsche in Nietzsche & Philosophy is almost non-recognizable to me; I agree with your critique of Deleuze. I think Foucault and Derrida are pretty faithful to Nietzsche.
It took the left this long to realize Nietzsche is incompatible with their egalitarian delusions lol

I stopped listening at "Nietzsche's anti-Semitism"...such an ignorant guest, hope you'll find a better critique next time.
