“Fascism attempts to organize the newly created proletarian masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves.

“All efforts to render politics aesthetic culminate in one thing: war.”
Walter Benjamin

After you've been broken
You may not realize
That you are grace to the broken hearted
