I was intrigued by how Benjamin sees the relationship between Fascist controls and art. In his epilogue, he states, "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." (241) Contrary to my own common sense, B posits that masses who create simply for the purpose of self-expression are playing into the hands of reactionary Fascists.
