Everything evil which is known today has been attributed to Nietzsche, who accordingly salivated at the mere thought of chaos and destruction envisioned / prophesized by his brilliant (but perverse?) mind. RIGHT???

A1, pretty good response. Except I have to make sure the record is set straight here...YOU SHOULD RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO CLASIFY HIM AS AN EXISTENTIALIST. You doing so falls into the same vein as you assuming that I have opinions commensurate with the statements made in the Q. Your problem is that need to learn to read more carefully.

Nietzsche discussed Nihilism, but was not a Nihilist himself. When he considers Nihilism, he sees it both as an inevitable consequence of a godless universe and something to be very concerned with, as his philosophy was largely life affirming, as opposed to the life denial of Nihilism.

The best thing I could possibly say to you is CHECK YOUR SOURCES. Nietzsche was an existentialist, not a nihilist. He distrusted governments and bemoaned religion, as intellect would dictate. He wasn't a fundamentalist anarchist, as you seem to think...I'd recommend actually reading him, or at the very least, reading about him before you formulate opinions.

Nietzsche was pietzsche.
