I think that since Nietzsche is dialectical there’s always this interplay between his reactionary fascist side and the humanist side. I also had a prof argue for the centrality of The Birth of Tragedy to Nietzsche, that the Apollonian and Dionysian is really the core dialectic of his thinking.
Can’t deny he’s got his reactionary elements but a lot of that was also basically fury at the bourgeoise libs of his day.
