Catching up on the weather and talking Walter Benjamin's famous, "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction". Benjamin describes fascism as the "aestheticization of politics" whereas "communism politicizes art". In other words, fascists are happy to let the masses express themselves insofar as the property relations of capitalism are left unchanged, but is 'politicizing art' an adequate or even helpful alternative to this situation?
