What's lacking in Nietzche (as in some other post-idealists of
his period, no time to enumerate them now) is any social
structural analysis that recognises character as not only a
function of one's will or intentions (of one's "morality") but as
well of one's position in the political economy.

"Nietzsche argued that two types of morality existed: a master
morality that springs actively from the 'noble man', and a slave
morality that develops reactively within the weak man. These two
moralities do not present simple inversions of one another; they
form two different value systems: master morality fits actions
into a scale of 'good' or 'bad' whereas slave morality fits
actions into a scale of 'good' or 'evil'. Notably he disdained
both, though the first clearly less than the second."

This is one time Wikipedia got it right.
