It's been awhile since you've actually read Nietzsche, hasn't it?
As the old tv commercial used to say: "It's in there." He's not a
marxist, of course, but class resentiments are integral to his
analysis -- except he sees forces, such as those that breed
resentiment, as more primary.

I see N. as basically psychologically -oriented, not
sociologically-oriented.
