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.

why dint u tell me u had a blog?
Yes you are right, the text or indeed the life of a person is a political one. being apolitical is a political stance and interpreting someone as apolitical is using a framework of what politics is. that itself excludes many things from the domain of politics.
