Aristocratic Radicalism: Nietzsche and the Politics of Reaction

Professor Matt McManus returns to Rev Left to talk about his newest book, a collection of essays from various authors that he put together and edited titled "Nietzsche and the Politics of Reaction: Essays on Liberalism, Socialism, and Aristocratic Radicalism". Together they discuss the book, the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, his actual political beliefs, ways in which he has been sanitized or misinterpreted, what he thought of socialism and Christianity, how the political left and right get Nietzsche wrong, what the left can actually learn from him, the Death of God and the various forms of Nihilism it has generated, and much more!
