„Rasse mit Stil“ by Marcus Hahn

“…Thus, on the one hand, it contains some of Benn’s most problematic statements—the celebration of Machiavellian political decisionism, the causal derivation of Western art from soldierly slave states or the celebration of eugenics—while, on the other hand, it reaffirms a bourgeois aesthetic of autonomy.
