That's preposterous. Did your neighbors decide what you were going to wear today?

In a way, yes. The society I live in decided (mailman voted on it) that I can't go in public with my dick hanging out.

But even if I grant you that we are completely free to make personal choices in cases where others are not directly affected (like choosing to eat oranges over bananas) that's not the case when there's disagreement over things that concern people, other than the individual. For example, if you decide you're free to go naked in public I'll find a way to stop you by force. So you're not free to do so.

Nietzsche wasn't an anarchist though. He was reactionary against the ruling system of the day, true, but his elitism and ubermensch mentality (slave master morality he took from Hegel) would never tolerate lack of authority. He was a proponent of Plato's or Hegel's statism (rule of a technocratic elite or a wise leader) which materialized into the totalitarian systems of the 20th century.
