Nietzsche's attempt to destabilize identity was not something, i think,
he was willing to extend to the general masses, nor something he thought
would ever even appeal to the masses. He was not, and never tried to be,
a philosopher of the people. Contemporary philosophers of a Nietzschean
bent (Deleuze included) attempt to elide this fact. I do not think
Nietzsche was hoping for some kind of revolution, certainly not an
increased amount of freedom for the christian populacel: let the slaves
continue to believe in reason, freedom, and other illusion; all the better
to exploit their stupidity.
