      2/ Thesis 2: Nietzsche is, in a double sense, the thinker of fascism; he is, *in a certain way*, a thinker of fascism, but he is, *above all*, the thinker of the subversion of fascism.

      3/ Nietzsche-thought is a complex political process with two *contradictory* poles (but without mediation), the relation of subordination of a secondary fascist pole (Mastery) *to* a principle revolutionary pole.

      5/ Thesis 3: We are all fascist readers of Nietzsche, we are all revolutionary readers of Nietzsche. Our unity is a contradictory relation (hierarchy without mediation), just as the unity of Nietzsche is a contradictory and *auto*-critical unity.

      6/ Nietzsche puts the Master and the Rebel in a relation of duplicity rather than duality. He liquidates the opposition of monism (philosophy of the Master *or* of the Rebel) and dualism (mediated contradiction of the Master and the Rebel).

      8/ This is about you or Nietzsche: as political subject, whom you have to become, split by the cause, Revolution or Fascism. What is a revolutionary in her relation to Revolution when she is affected by it as if by the fracture [coupure] of truth that *breaks her in two*.

      11/ At the start, a scene that is both single and split, a scene of reading on your side, a scene of writing on Nietzsche's side, two scenes which together make but one.

          14/ such that Nietzschean practice will imply both an intervention or a detachment of atextual forces, of anti-signifying powers *in* the signifying scene, and a *primacy* of the relation of the terms over the terms themselves.
