criticism of nietzsche?

It seems like I never see much criticism of him. Which ones are most notable or convincing?
gpt
In *The Anti-Christ* he says "A high culture is a pyramid: it can stand only on a broad base, its very first prerequisite is a strongly and soundly consolidated mediocrity... to be a public utility, a cog, a function, is a natural vocation... it is the kind of *happiness* of which the great majority alone are capable, which makes intelligent machines of them. For the mediocre it is happiness to be mediocre" and he says that he hates "the Socialist rabble, the Chandala apostles who undermine the worker's instinct, his pleasure, his feeling of contentment with his little state of being - who make him envious, who teach him revengefulness... Injustice never lies in unequal rights, it lies in the claim to '*equal*' rights" (section 57).

There are various reasons someone might object to this. We might think that it's elitist to imagine that the vast majority of people are mediocre and that they exist mostly for the sake of enabling great people to do great things. We might think that his criticisms of socialism ignore the horrible conditions that capitalism creates for workers. We might think that equal rights are fundamental to the dignity of all human beings and that a denial of equal rights has been behind most of the worst atrocities of history.
