A how-to guide for the left on how to overcome Nietzsche's divisive and damaging influence.

"Beautifully written and bursting with spirit, How to Read Like a Parasite is destined to be vital reading." - Matthew McManus, author of Nietzsche and the Politics of Reaction

How to Read Like a Parasite is a critical guide for the left, showing how to overcome Nietzsche's divisive influence and avoid falling prey to his reactionary politics.

Key insights include:

- A thorough critique of the popular, apolitical interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy
- Analysis of core Nietzschean concepts like perspectivism, ressentiment, and the eternal return
- Historical context of Nietzsche's life and works, revealing a sophisticated reactionary political vision at the heart of his ideas
- Case studies of prominent left-Nietzscheans, including Jack London, Gilles Deleuze, Wendy Brown, and Huey Newton

This book provides a clear path for the left to read and engage with Nietzsche without adopting his harmful ideological underpinnings.
