title tbh I would imagine he would see it similarly to how he saw Christianity + Nietzsche was more of an individualist than a collectivist but idk can anyone tell me?

First off, welcome to the forum you being new here.
As the resident Marxist and communist here who has read Nietzsche along with being familiar with all stripes of philosophical nihilism I guess that I will address your comment.
What is the alternative to Marxism in society then?
Turn all of human civilization into a Social Darwinian zero sum game where morality and ethics is considered a weakness in the pursuit of ruthless existential competition?
How is that type of society sustainable in the long run?
Well, I won’t tell you, but my sense is he would have hated it, much as he hated socialism and egalitarianism. He viewed the former as Christianity without God. He was radically individualist, so that’s contrary. Not classless society but unbelievably great individuals. He viewed suffering not politically but as a motivator to becoming great. In a way he is anti-political. Class struggle vs will to power as the mechanisms of change.

How do nation states, societies, and entire civilizations survive long term basing their whole existence on radical individualism?
Seems pretty chaotic if you were to ask me.
I’m just talking about what I think N would feel.
