Would the Enlightenment not be slave morality? The Enlightenment proclaimed that man is the center of all things which legitimized individualism. Individualism translates into egalitarianism when applied to society because when addressing individuals, one must affirm individualism for each of them, which can only be applied by removing social rules and restraints equally so that each may achieve maximum lack of oversight. Egalitarianism of course is the center of leftist dogma. They strive to make the world equal by force, because they see egalitarianism failing here. Despite all of our efforts to implement equality, there is still vast inequality. This forces us to either accept that egalitarianism is bunk, or that there is some force making people unequal.
Not according to Nietzsche according to this summary on Nietzsche's views.
""The noble type of man experiences itself as determining values; it does not need approval; it judges, "what is harmful to me is harmful in itself"; it knows itself to be that which first accords honour to things; it is value-creating."[3] In master morality, individuals define what is good based on whether it benefits that person and their pursuit of self-defined personal excellence.[4]:loc 1134, loc 1545 Insofar as something is helpful to the strong-willed man, it is like what he values in himself; therefore, the strong-willed man values such things as good because they aid him in a life-long process of self-actualization through the will to power.

I personally think his concepts of master-slave morality aren't 100% accurate. He is definitely onto something but I think it's incomplete.
I do think individualism is a problem and I actually think the morality inherent in the Bible are actually Master Morality based and aren't actually entirely slave-morality.
One may consider the enlightenment era values as the slave morality values that attempted to subvert the master morality values of Christianity.
This may also simply be the way in which competing values attack each other for dominance. The weaker value system starts out as "slave-morality" until it has dominance then it reimages itself as the dominant master-morality.
Would be an interesting reason why communism never works and why true Christianity never seems attainable due to always being corrupted by those who interpret it. Because the communist ideal is slave-morality and the Christian ideal is slave-morality. Once either system gains dominance, it always reshapes itself into a master morality style value-system which is always different than the ideal.
We'll likely see a similar trend with leftism and we're starting to see that. At first when they inverted all the values it was done through feigning compassion and care for others but now it's starting to crystalize as a dominant ideology and this compassion/care has gone right out the window. Now they want submission to their values which means it's reforming as a master morality value-system.
Odin for the win?
We may need a more modern solution.
Don't confuse the Catholic Church as Christianity, They are Christian in name only, they are pagan as any phony cult.
One could consider the Catholic Church as the reformed slave morality Christianity into a master morality value system.
