      1: The “vous” is still plural here. 2: Reference to Nietzsche’s claim of having broken history in two. (Badiou has written on this). 3: “quadriparti” has political connotations of the political “Parti” (see my translator’s footnote). 4: our doubly divided “rapport” to Nietzsche.pic.twitter.com/gytlXHZthk

      The terms don’t help to situate any of these binaries, which have to be thought quadratically through the “primacy of the relations of the terms over the terms themselves”. A specifically Simondonian (and Deleuzian) way of thinking the ontological dignity and rank of relations.pic.twitter.com/Z6NKmeDLdT

      All of this leads to scrambling the received codes under which we inherit these terms; the “fascistic” and “revolutionary” poles (Mastery and Rebellion) is subject to a Spinozistic criterion alone: “the manner for certain forces or powers to go to the end of what they can do.”pic.twitter.com/dS6aA8aZvU

      We cannot hide away in the Nietzschean text qua text because we are “contradictorily and without mediation” entering into outlets that are “in the last instance” atextual or a(nti)-signifying. A selective reading of Nietzsche’s fascistic elements (Heid) and vice versa is 1-sided.pic.twitter.com/qMfzY6E06U

      Ultimately one piece of the machine stands out as “a strange surface of apprehension”, and it is the code name of a “political conspiracy” [complot politique]: Eternal Return of the same and Will to power.

          This is the end of subsection 3, the first half of this first chapter. This is the minimalizing ground-clearing that Laruelle requires before moving forward with what is at stake in Nietzsche-thought

          When fascism and revolution are no longer considered definable externally but from the aspect of “each going to the end of what it can do”: ERS/WP as selectivity of the extremes (cf.

          Nietzsche “wills” his own falsification against his interpreters [“have I been understood?”]; here Lar quotes from Klossowski’s Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle; the co-belonging of the terms of the quadrature that forms a “break in our knowledge of politics”.pic.twitter.com/GZaZVSAs9O

          The goal of the book Nietzsche contre Heidegger is provisionally defined here: how does Nietzsche crucially and successfully “assume fascism in history the better to vanquish it”?

          1: The knot (or node) of the quadripartition recuts [recoupe] and recoups all the relations. 2: Something in “‘Nietzsche’” resists the various ways in which his name might have currency in methods of reading and inscribing his name (one should think of a Nietzsche effect)pic.twitter.com/40TxV4W93H

          To parse the “belch of the Christo-leftist” takes at least two things: 1: An allusion to how Nietzsche will sign his last letters, post-collapse, as Dionysus-Christ; 2: in reference to Jambet and Lardreau’s L’Ange, which will get discussion in the upcoming paragraphspic.twitter.com/cgIlLTuhpn

          My translator’s footnote is important for understanding *absance* (read Derrida’s coinage of différance) and “in?visibility” (I wager the guess that it is from Deleuze’s coinage of ?-being in Difference and Repetion, p. 64, 202, 203, 205).pic.twitter.com/fjMp1Q21to

          This political objective appearance in its extreme historical form is Fascism. Lar sees Nietzsche compromised *with* (not by) fascism, in order to elevate it qua transcendental appearance and reveal it qua ideological appearance, then subject it to a “radically materalist usage”.pic.twitter.com/pA5efMhC52

          Here is where Heidegger’s name first enters the text, but he will not become explictly juxtaposed with Nietzsche until part 3 of this book 150 pages later. The footnote here, though, seems to indicate the more immediate (in time) specter of this misreading: L’Ange.pic.twitter.com/TFhOiz1u8X

          Here is the long footnote. It’s clear that Laruelle has no patience for Jambet and Lardreau “Anti-Nietzscheanism” (against “desire” i.e. Anti-Oedipus). Laruelle gives us a hint, too, in his formulation of his theses: a polemics against Heidegger’s most insidious misunderstanding.pic.twitter.com/FLr14q6Anm

          This foreshadows the advent of a Nietzschean uni-versalization of textuality/politics that Laruelle calls “politico-libidinal”. It is a question of the proper version of the adversion and perversion of Heidegger’s “Nietzsche” (H’s text on FN tells us more about H than FN anyway).pic.twitter.com/7k6DGoCAqt

          Part of this is a long series of puns involved in overcoding and translating some Heidggerian “Turn” locutions: Gegen-kehre, Um-Kehre, Über-kehre, but the issue is deadly serious, insofar as Heidegger tends to emphasize a polemically fascisizing reading of Nietzschepic.twitter.com/TRo5AwPEgS

          Nietzsche-thought demands to be dealt with because his specificity is “to bind...this process of fascisization...and the political and material conditions of its subversion”. The risk is to embrace the adversary the better to smother him.pic.twitter.com/3lqdUPZmOC

          “Nietzsche prefers to flow with the adversary, provided that the adversary drowns”. As Laruelle points out, crucifying Nietzsche, the Marxist or Christian critics (Jambet and Lardreau et alia) show “how little yet they have overcome the fascism in themselves”.

          The signifier taken exclusively and to the end of what it can do leads to a process of fascisization; for forces (non-signifying elements and anti-signifying agents), taken to the end of what they can do leads to “an ‘autonomous’ process of rebellion”.pic.twitter.com/3BvRCnuvJd

          “master-proletariat” perhaps looks misleading in translation; in the French “prolétariat-maître”, which makes it clear that this is a question of a duplicitous (dual) relation, not an oxymoron of master as adjective describing proletariat.
