>In its various manifestations the will-to-power seeks superiority by conquering rival wills. In the particular form practiced by Nietzsche it is striking for its restless, driven character that finds him attacking virtually every major institution, every cultural form, every type of belief.
>Its defining characteristic can be described as the moment when the extraordinary marginalizes the normal, usurping its role in order to become the dominant practice. The normal might be said to be the product of cultivated relationships (e.g., of love, of family, friendship, neighbors, co-wokers, citizens, patriotism, etc.). The normal sustains the skilled activities that assure the everyday operation of society. Critical totalitarianism seeks, literally, to belittle these relationships for the easy demands they make. In contrast, its own strategy imposes heavy demands on itself as it renounces the moral, social, political, scholarly, and aesthetic values it had once prized.
>Referring to "the greatest danger to the whole human future" represented by "the good and just," Nietzsche warned: "Everything has been distorted and twisted down to the very bottom through the good." His demand was: "Shatter, shatter the good and just!"
