Nietzscheanism

Nietzscheanism or Nietzschean Philosophy is a term for philosophical theories of Nietzsche advocating the overcoming of both a threatening nihilism and a slave morality as exemplified for him in historical Christianity through a reevaluation of all values on the basis of a will to power epitomized in his doctrine of the superman and the idea of the eternal recurrence of all things.

Will to Power
Der Wille zur Macht, according to Nietzscheanism is the main driving force of humans. Nietzscheanism argues that this will-to-power is present in all life and it is even stronger than the will to survive. It is an innate cosmic drive to strive to perfect and transcend the self through the possession and exercise of creative power. Through this exercise all wills try to self-assert themselves against other wills that struggle to dominate them. In this way for Nietzscheanism, whole universe is a giant multi-directional struggle of wills-to-power.

Übermensch
Übermensch or the Overman is someone who in Nietzscheanism's view have truly become a free spirit. Creative, courageous and powerful individual that follows only what they believe is right and does not conform to the will of others. An Overman is not necesserly selfish but possesses specific self-awareness of their own will-to-power which allows them to navigate the world and their desires without lying to themselves or being distracted by anti-life ideals of resentment, hedonism or ascetism. Nietzscheanism believes that the Overman is goal that people should set themselves as something that they should strive to become.

Eternal Recurrence
According to Nietzscheanism there exists and eternal cycle of repeating similar circumstances in the world. This means humans will be forced to live through that eternally reoccurring circumstances, both the happy and the painful. Alternatively Recurrence can be interpreted as presence of repetition of both the joyous and tormenting aspects of life in everything. What Nietzscheanism considers most important about this, is the way humans will approach that fact. In Nietzscheanism's view, one should completely embrace the inevitable fate so that they can give meaning to their lives and embrace the joy of living rather than feel depressed about their own inability to avoid fate. To truly live for Nietzscheanism, one must accept both the happiness and suffering of life, and avoiding one or the other is something that leads to decadence and detachment from reality.

Anti-altruism
Nietzscheanism believes altruism and ethics based on altruist ideas, such as Christian ethics to be empty and false morality, whose followers are merely helping others for either selfish desire to see themselves as righteous or ascetic self-hatred, caused by decadent culture of rejecting life for the sake of non-existant afterlife. Nietzscheanism believes that helping each other should be something done out of one's own will, and feeling of connection to others rather than obedience to moral ideas.

Nietzscheanism believes that hierarchies in society are completely natural and thinks that egalitarian ideas are detrimental to social order. He believes that an aristocratic upper-class is needed to devote themselves to creative and sophisticated activities that push civilization forward.

[[File:Ego.png]] Anti-Liberal Individualism
Nietzscheanism mainly sees individualism as a set of desirable personality traits, such as noncomformism and originality. At the same time Nietzscheanism despises traditional liberalism, seeing it as synonymous with mediocrity and cultural decay. He also dislikes the capitalist elites blaming them for the rise of socialism and seeing them as merely people who got lucky with money, clearly inferior to military, artistic, scientific, philosophical and aristocratic elites that should make up the noble-class.

According to Nietzscheanism, socialism is a "tyranny of the meanest and the dumbest". He believes that socialism, similarly to Christianity is an ideology for the resentful weak to impose their will upon great individuals. In the name of equality restricting them from exercising their potential.

Personality
Nietzscheanism may often seem a malcontent person, criticizing almost everything he approaches. He is a non-conformist that believes modern civilization to be riddled with sickness. He will often go on long ramblings on why something is wrong and how should it be fixed. In spite of his hate for Christianity and socialism, that he believes to deify weakness in its cult of false altruism, he can be a very empathetic ball surprisingly caring for the well-being of his friends. He also enjoys art and music in his free time.
