One thing I found interesting was his general attack of socialism. Here we can assume (?) he includes anarchist forms of socialism, since like in Martucci's intro it says he was part of an anarcho-communist group for a time, and had problems with them.

"Fascism is the other face of socialism.
Both of them are bodies without minds."

And it seems that he thinks that socialists and fascists alike have a politics of negation rather than affirmation of life in the Nietzschean sense.

Edit: Having read the "my opinions" section it does seem more likely that he is not including anarchist forms of socialism, but still not clear.

That was a good section!

I have gotten confused a few times when he's referred to nobleness and aristocracy in ways that seemed non-pejorative.

For example, using the section you posted from Revolt, I can't tell if he's saying good or bad things about Pietro Gori. Based on how he speaks about Malatesta, it seems to be good things, but talking about "dominator" Gori confuses me.

Gori, for anybody who doesn't know and is reading this, composed a lot of definitive folk anarchist songs in Italy.
