The Poverty of Left Nietzcheanism translated into English for the first time. Aymeric Monville takes a sharp new look at the reception and rehabilitation of Nietzsche within “left” thought. This reclaiming of Nietzsche by the left underwrites an irrationalist, individualist, and anti-communist consensus running from the "moral left" to the reactionary right.
Part of the Anti-Imperialist Marxism (AIM) series.

Responses to the French original (Éditions delga):
"This polemical little book, often excessive, has the merit of asking how an antirationalist thinker—an apologist for domination and violence, for the crushing of the weak, for aristocracy, an antifeminist and even an antisemite—could become one of the major touchstones for the French left-wing intelligentsia." —Le Monde diplomatique
