      111/ A little nearer to fascism, a little further away from fascism, in a relation of dangerous but authentic co-belonging, Nietzsche had to incur the risk of having to embrace the adversary in order to smother him.

      112/ Nietzsche's interpreters are the blind victims of this risk, more so than he himself, since he is its consenting victim.

      113/ Few have understood the meaning of the greatest misunderstandings, namely that Nietzsche prefers to flow with the adversary, provided that the adversary drowns: the messenger dies in his message, this is the message of Zarathustra.

      115/ This is what is cheerful in the sleepwalking of Christians and Marxists, the enormous psychodrama that they play out before us by believing to put Nietzsche on trial, and where they only expose how little yet they have overcome the fascism in themselves. [end subsection 5]

      116/ 6. Thus, to think the possibility of subversion, not of mastery in general, but of mastery specified as fascism, the possibility of Revolution, it takes no less than four terms organized into two worlds—or rather, into two poles or two tendencies.

      117/ The whole problem is not to think with bricks: this is to posit Mastery and Rebellion as two worlds transcendent to one another in the gnostic and Manichean manner [Footnote #3: Cf. *L'Ange*].

      118/ Mastery and Rebellion, Fascism and Resistance form the figure of a chiasmus and only involve relations-of-relation. This is why they have to become worlds, there is a becoming-world of fascism, which is produced, never given, or which forms a process.

      121/ In the same way, there is merely an affinity, not identity, between what Nietzsche calls “forces” *as such*, which are non-signifying elements, indeed anti-signifying agents, and the sole affirmative tendency capable of making them go to the end of what they can do:

          123/ Perhaps it will be necessary to avoid speaking of “world” to designate the two poles, processes, or tendaecies that co-belong within the Quadripartition, and to find another word to designate the universal moment that they fully contain [Footnote #4].

          125/ Be that as it may, the reason for Nietzschean revolutionary power begins to appear: Rebellion and Mastery are merely in a relation of positive disjunction, without mediating negativity: the opposites of contradiction are front against front.

          126/ They are not above all exclusive to one another, they have nothing to do with closed entities, essences transcendent to one another in the onto-theo-logical or gnostico-Christian manner: their relation of co-belonging is *a relation of duplicity rather than duality*.

          129/ he gives himself a relation, a duality, if it can be held, but of forces or of powers, that which reduces every quality to duplicity (even the signifier is reduced to the state of force or of power). What is important here?

          130/ What's important is that it thereby straightaway cleaves Mastery or puts Mastery in a relation of exteriority, of contradiction without mediation, to a force of resistance, to an agent of rebellion.
