Could you call yourself a follower of a philosophy without accepting 100% of it?

[Taverner]

And say you applied the same critical eye you would any other logic....

Say a Marxist who thinks there were serious flaws in the economic model in Das Kapital. Or a Nietzsche-an who thinks all that Superman shit was batshit crazy. Or a follower of Ayn Rand, who thinks half of her outlook was perfect, the other half evil and again, batshit crazy?

1. There's no such thing as a Nietzschean.

It would defeat the purpose. (Just a Nietzsche reader's snobby two cents)

Yes, it is possible to follow a philosophy without accepting it 100%. Just looking at Marx. There have been numerous, varied approaches to implementing Marxist ideals. As long as the basic ideals are embraced, I think it is safe to call yourself a follower.

2. With Marx, I agree with a lot of it. Especially the evolution to a stateless society

Again, not next week...not next year...not next decade...nor millennium probably.

And I think Humanity should work towards the goal of a Stateless, Classless, Raceless Society.

Some Marxist principles will need to be in place to achieve that. Some ideas from Rousseau, Locke, and yes, even Hobbes, will be needed to add to the mix.

And, yes, Nietzsche. God is dead. Some of you Theists might disagree, but God is dead. You don't go to Church (unless you're into Christian Science) to fix a broken arm, or cancer. Eventually all of our Churches will be museums. But don't let that scare you away. Nothing wrong with Theism, if it makes you happy.

I have to go with the "Agree to Disagree" principle, which leads me into my other Philosopher (although she would hate to hear herself called that) - Hannah Arendt. Totalitarianism is never EVER a good idea. Even FDR's missteps into this arena have repercussions.
