Many of Nietzsche's works were rewritten by his sister and her husband to add anti-Semite & German nationalism.


Hence, most of the people who cite Nietzsche often are fascists or Nazis.

While there is no proof that Hitler used Nietzsche's Ubermensch concept, he visited his library before Mein Kampf.

I try not to reference his works, because of this taint.

Also, as you read though his works, you can actually see the onset of mental issues slowly creep into them.
