I've got a leftist professor I really like that loves this guy, but I picked up his books and it makes no sense whatsoever. It's like he's not even a philosopher proper, his writing is totally convoluted and I just don't see the point. What even is Benjamin talking about?

Theses on the Philosophy of History is woke

>There is no document in civilization which is not at the same time a document of barbarism . And just as such a document is not free of barbarism, barbarism taints also the manner in which it was transmitted from one owner to another. A historical materialist therefore dissociates himself from it as far as possible. He regards it his task to brush history against the grain.
