Nietzsche famously despised egalitarianism, yeah, but leftists don't read him to copy his politics exactly, one could say they use his critique of morality and power structures to sharpen their own analysis of capitalism no? And this makes sense because it draws a clear line between adopting a philosopher's political goals and borrowing their analytical tools, taking the mind that created the philosophy instead of the philosophy. Thinkers often appropriate concepts from opponents to strengthen their own frameworks and ideologies, clearer blueprints. Leftist intellectuals didn't turn to nietzsche to build a society based on a hierarchy of masters and slaves or servants or wtv, they turned to him because his radical critique of traditional morality, institutions, and ideology provided a powerful lens, or skeleton for dissecting how capitalism and bourgeois culture maintain control over people's minds and desires and wishes n everything
