In this video, we examine one of the most persistent myths in intellectual history: the claim that Friedrich Nietzsche was a philosopher of Nazism.
Nietzsche died in 1900 — decades before the rise of the Nazi Party — yet his name became associated with fascist ideology through a complex process of editorial manipulation, selective quotation, and political appropriation. We explore his opposition to German nationalism, his criticism of anti-Semitism, his break with Richard Wagner, and the role of his sister Elisabeth in reshaping his legacy.
The video also explains how Nietzsche’s unpublished notes were assembled into The Will to Power, how Nazi propaganda selectively used his concepts, and why key elements of his philosophy — individualism, skepticism toward the state, and the existential meaning of the Übermensch — conflict with totalitarian ideology.
Finally, we examine how modern scholarship interprets Nietzsche today, showing that while his ideas remain controversial, the simplistic identification of Nietzsche with Nazism does not withstand careful historical analysis.
