A note from G. P. Skratz:
a) their ability to see the world fresh, as if for the first time.
b) their capacity to manifest the world sketched by ideology.
c) their power to let those things be seen with ideology conceals.
d) their fidelity to marxist-leninist thought.
e) their ability to mimic the effects of opium.
f) their invitation to serenely survey the improbable majesty of existence.
g) __________________________.
“Adorno’s idea of society as a self-regulating system, from which one must escape (but from which nobody can escape). For him it was existent, but inhuman.”
Somehow it reminded me of George Orwell’s 1984. Adorno was not talking about some imagined society but our very own, and those who try to escape are the ones who yearn for humanity.
