Isnt he a cultural marxist?

>> No.13842775

That retarded label won't help you much in either reading and thinking. Benjamin is a based aesthetic and political thinker who draws influence from Nietzsche, mysticism and Communism alike.

No such thing. He's based though.

Read more Benjamin. Please there aren't enough of us.
But anyway in that case you'll really like Franz Hessel, Siegfried Kracauer, Gershom Scholem, and Franz Rosenwig.

You'll also really enjoy Stefan Zweig, Ford Maddox Ford, Arthur Schnitzler. Very comfy.

Yeah. Everybody just reads Work of Art and maybe skims through Arcades and that's it. He's still one of the most popular thinkers among humanities academics, but isn't that deeply read by most others. The left in particular have all but forgotten him. Thank God NYRBC released the storyteller collection.

>> No.13847006

Frisch's late works (Montauk etc.)
