One of the most disgusting pieces of trash ever to live. Nazi piece of garbage.

Nietzsche died in 1900. He wasn't even alive when the German Worker's Party formed (soon to become the NSDAP, the nazi party).

BRTD is too much of an objectivist to even consider liking Nietzsche, even if he accepted that Nietzsche wasn't a nazi.

What? I hate Objectivism and Ayn Rand.

     Note the small o in objectivism here. I'm just saying that you tend to support an objective view of the world. That's different from liking Ayn Rand.

Do you mean the philisophical doctrine of objectivism within meta-ethics (as opposed to emotivism or naturalism, as a semantic theory of morality) or in a more general non-relativist sense?

This thread keeps reminding me that I have to read Nietzsche at some point.

     I mean it in the latter sense, as opposed to subjectivism (or relativism, though that carries certain negative connotations).

     That aside, the most authoritative book of his on the subject is Beyond Good & Evil, where he derides the moralism of philosophers throughout history. He also talks about it in Twilight of the Idols, though that book focuses more on attacking moralism in religion.
