12. Hollingdale here translates "Stellen des Mundes," i.e., places in the mouth, as "phases of the moon," an understandable error since Mund (mouth) and Mond (moon) look similar and Nietzsche does, after all, sound rather superstitious in this passage.

See ibid., no. 206, KSA 3:183-85, "The Impossible Class," wherein Nietzsche advises the workers of Europe to leave Europe, rather than to stay and endure conditions leading only to inadequate pay, impersonal, demeaning toil, and political exploitation by socialists. If the workers cannot be "masters" in Europe, let them emigrate to another country where they will not have to be slaves. Doing so would serve their needs and Europe's because Europe is overpopulated and spoiled.
