This episode of Protean View features Daniel Tutt, a philosopher, writer, and host of the Emancipations podcast.

Tutt joined Protean View to discuss a recent article he published with Muftah titled "Loser Politics," as well as his new book on Nietzsche, How to Read Like a Parasite: Why the Left Got High on Nietzsche (Random House, 2024). In different ways, Tutt's article and book both address how Nietzsche’s thought has shaped the language of our politics, including the seemingly unavoidable winner-loser framework that Tutt suggests we’re trapped in.

We discuss why Nietzsche remains so important in our time, and how, in so many ways, his thought presents an obstacle to the development of a real working class movement interested in defying the strictures of the winner-loser binary.
