If you need to explain, never ever shorted the phrase. Just keep saying "bourgeois nihilism".

The bourgeois nihilism of today is distinct from the bourgeois nihilism of Nietzsche's era...

As someone who has actually never read Nietzsche, but some years ago did a course in college that had him, I have to ask: What is so wrong about Dessalines description of Nietzsche?

My takeaway from the course was that he was sort of a proto-fascist saying that society was divided between the weak and the strong, and if wasn't for certain institutions that "glorify" the weak like the Judeo-Christian religions, the strong would rightfully subjugate the weak.

If that is a wrong view of his work I'm open for other interpretations.

Nietzsche's political views are unclear at best. He often writes hyperbolically and ironically (sarcastically?) so quoting scattered sentences from his works proves nothing.
