However, Nietzsche had a disgust for anarchists, in one case calling them “anarchist dogs.” *Beyong Good and Evil  When taking a closer look at the writings of this philosopher, you come to understand to Anarchy, Communism, Socialism, and Democracy were all on the same level for him.  Nietzsche proposes a government of elitists ruling the all-to-human lower classes.  These elitists were dionysian, free-spirited, able to adopt a sort of glorified anarchy.  They were able to pursue their own interests, journeying on the path to bringing the overman.

The lower classes did not have such a freedom.  There was a slave class that was to work in the enterprises of the elite to produce as efficiently as possible to the will of the others.  And, then, the military class to guarantee that the slaves did not take up pitchforks to overthrow the elitists.  This idea of government is hardly suitable for the egalitarian archarist.

Now, the idea of the Ubermensch, or overman/superman, can definitely be associated with Nazism.  It is however very different.  Nietzsche’s Ubermensch and the Nazi’s pure Aryan race are on two different levels.  Nietzsche writes on a more spiritual and philosophical level, than do the Nazis.  Adolf Hitler’s ideal man is more concerned about the physical attributes of the superman; blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin, etc.  Nietzsche’s ideal man, or Ubermensch, was one who had no attachments or burdens that could hinder him from discovering the truth.  A man without the binds of religion or government.

As far as anti-semitism is concerned, I would like Nietzsche himself to tell you in his own words,

” ‘Admit no more Jews! And especially close the doors to the east (and also to Austria!)’  thus commands the instinct of a people whose type is still weak and indefinite, so it could easily be blurred or extinguished by a stronger race.  The Jews, however, are beyond any doubt the strongest, toughest, and purest race now living in Europe; they know how to prevail even under the worst conditions.” 

Though I contain only a limited intellect, I interperate this to be quite contrary to the views of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.  Nietzsche is not a despiser of the Jews, but an admirer.  This post is here to clarify some misconceptions you might have about this man and his views.  I hope that this answered your questions sufficiently.

The Camel, an animal of burden, burdens itself with many virtues fired by a love of God.  Like the camel, the soul speeds into the desert with its heavy load.  It is here in this very desert that the soul transforms from burdened camel to mighty lion.

The Lion conquers his own freedom and unburdens himself.  In the desert, the soul becomes strong and ready for battle.  The lion battles the great dragon whose name is “Thou Shalt.”  This is the souls battle with God and religion, an attempt to free itself from that which binds it.  Now the soul needs to create a new sense of morality, another transformation is needed that from lion to child.

The Child, says Nietzsche, is innocense.  Only once the soul transforms into a child, can it create for itself a new morality free from the influence of religion.  This is the way a soul transforms into a camel, a camel into a lion, and finally, a lion into a child.  The soul is now innocent and completely free without any attachment.  He is now free to go out and seek the truth without compromising.
