/pol/tard tourists are seething at you but you're right. It's bizarre how acute he was as a critic while also being one of the dime-a-dozen reactionaries of his time - like, how do you realize the irreconcilable contradictions inherent to the dialectic of the times you live in, and instead of realizing that the only viable way to resolve them is through confroting them head on and progressing past them, you drown yourself in the opium of religion and reactionary politics?

Defeat him.

Why are marxist theories of aesthetics so bad?

>Such dogmatic rigidness that these people don't see past their own nose.

Well, I mean, I bet you couldn't either if you were in his shoes.

is it possible to be a good writer if you're not a Marxist? seems like without class analysis all you would be left with is bourgeois navel gazing

nothing personnel anon///
