Wow I didnt know his guy had turned into such a hypocrite when the DDR became a thing. Funny to contrast his previous sancrimonious criticism of the state with his leniency in face of persecution of artists in communist germany.

What is this magic?! I do not understand.
Literally everyone is like this anon. The state always suppresses the people who want to have a different state, and the people who run the state always support the state in that struggle.

Some communists denounced soviet violence. Adorno himself criticized brecht amd called him a traitor.

Frankfurt School people aren't communists, they are just whiny limp wristed leftist intellectuals. They have no convictions or positive principles. Not all communists have to be tankies but almost all non-tankie "communists" aren't actually communists.

I thin it's rather telling that Brecht's legacy amounts to making theater less appealing to the working class and Mack the Knife being turned into a pop standard.

IMO he is responsible for the whole of euro theatre to be some cuck story about people trying to live in commie(or modernist blocks if you are a westoid) blocks with hundreds of other families

It's amazing how instincts work, I knew as soon as I heard about Brecht years ago, almost as if the name itself had an aura about it, this has got to be some commie "new realism" artist for midwit liberals who fantasize about being a member of the SPD in the period between its banning by Bismarck and its becoming a member of the mainstream political establishment, just in that sweet spot of being a rebel but not really having to do anything except talk and show up to "meetings" (liberals are instinctively drawn to "meetings" of any kind, it's their very own mannerbund)

Then I saw Brecht's picture and I was even more sure, still at an unconscious instinctive level, that this man must be some kind of mid-century communist who made midwit art for liberal larpers, I just knew it, he must be

Then I read about him and the concept of "Brecht" concretized and it was exactly what I thought it was and I immediately put it in the NEVER READ trash bin in my mind, right next to "Anything by a 'Latino'"

Older generations from the other end of the iron curtain also remember him as that heavy-handed didactic guy they were made to read (not even watch) in high school. Imagine basing your entire artistic persona around being a "troo rebel" only to end up being a pillar and a symbol of the state ideology in education lol
