Can one be both a socialist and a Nietzschean? In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by Devin Goure to discuss the philosophy of Fredrich Nietzche and what people can learn from his core concepts. In particular, we discuss why socialists should read Nietzsche, his challenge to the left, and how Nietzche has already influenced left-wing thinkers such as Deleuze, Foucault, and the Frankfurt School. Devin (@DevinGoure on Twitter/X) is a self-described "Left Nietzschean" scholar who received his Ph.D. in Philosophy at Yale University in 2019, and his dissertation drew on some of Nietzsche.'s ideas.
In this episode, we discuss some key contributions of Nietzsche’s philosophy and their application to the broader political “left.” This includes ideas such as slave morality, will to power, the death of god, affirmation, and Nietzsche's critique of capitalism. I also question Devin regarding left interpretations of Nietzche and the role of Nietzche’s reactionary politics and views regarding elitism, hierarchy, perspectivism, nihilism, decadence, equality, class, and his aristocratic rebel politics.
