was nietzsche a political thinker?

It is frequently asked whether Nietzsche can be characterized as a political thinker. Brian Leiter states that although he liked to have an opinion on everything under the sun, his views do not add up to a systematic political philosophy. However, in my opinion this is not saying much. Nietzsche might not meet the definitional standards of a political philosopher, but the lack of a philosophical system does not diminish the political intent and content of his writings.

My first attempt at blogging ...

I guess I've succumbed to the same impulse that drove others quite a while ago to paint their lives on cave walls. Some trend those people started.

I hope this grows into something good.
