      22/ We do not yet know what meaning to give these aforementioned categories, if not—this is too much or too little—that the singular logic of the quadripartition wills that Mastery and Rebellion in the Nietzschean sense be determined by specific criteria,

      PS: the first section of the book is called Political Materialism, and the first chapter of the book is titled The Two Politics of Nietzsche. Full citation: François Laruelle, *Nietzsche contre Heidegger*. Payot: Paris, 1977.

      24/ 3. Be that as it may, these four terms are indissociable, you compromise and you crucify just as they crucified Nietzsche. No possibility of taking refuge in a historicist and neutral reading, no possibility of fleeing into the labor of Nietzschean writing,

      25/ without also having to enter contradictorily *and without mediation* into an intense scene of forces, drives, relations of power that are no longer textual or signifying “in the last instance.” No possibility of denouncing, like Heidegger, the fascistic positions of Nietzsche

      27/ One does not enter into Nietzsche as though into a bourgeois institution, a Marxist apparatus, a historian's corpus, or in the manner in which certain naive interpreters enter into the Eternal Return as though into a windmill.

      30/ Machine here first means a set of relations (of power) without terms, criss-crossed in a chiasmus or a problematic. Afterwards, all its cogs are flowing relations, vanishing syntaxes.

          32/ there are only relations to be produced, hierarchies, disjunctions, breaks [coupures], inclusions, reversals, re-inscriptions: there is no doctrine, for Nietzsche-thought is a question of immanent syntax and the flowing matter proper to this syntax.

          43/ The technical means must be tied together in the political quadripartition. Inversely, the political evaluation of Nietzsche is inseparable from these procedures and their technical apparatuses.

          45/ That “Nietzsche” functions implies that the abstract reduction of his thought, for example in the single signifying scene of the ERS, cannot fail to reconstitute a Nietzsche of the Master, a nihilistic and *consequently* fascistic Nietzsche.

          47/ Inversely, the massively fascistic or revolutionary images of Nietzsche that would not pass through a labor of the text, of the aphorism--be they textual forces related to atextual forces in the last instance--would remain ideological falsifications. [End of subsection 3]

          48/ 4. It is still necessary to posit—in conformity with the internal criteria of the quadripartition or of Nietzschean auto-critique, i.e. in a non-idealist way—the first relation with which everything begins.

          49/ Not to posit it in a manner external to Nietzsche: relation of a reading to a writing, of an expressivity to a labor of the signifier, of a history of themes to the articulation of the metaphorical scenes of the ERS.
