“History breaks down into images, not into stories.”
Walter Benjamin
1.
History is layered. But the layers are not stacked neatly. The disrupting force of the present puts pressure on the past, scattering pieces of it forward into unanticipated locations. No one owns these pieces. To think so is to allow categories of private property to intrude into a commonly shared terrain wherein the laws of exclusionary inheritance do not apply. The history of humanity demands a communist mode of reception.
2.
The goal is nothing short of a different world order. It will require rescuing the past based on a de-privatized, de-nationalized structure of collective memory. There is little danger of a new triumphalism in this task. Human universality is a scarred idea, and the sources of the scarring must be remembered along with its moments of inspiration. Extreme inhumanities are part of a communist transmission of the past. The human disaster in Gaza cannot be made the legacy of Israel any more than the Holocaust belongs solely to the Germans. Neither historical role, of victim or oppressor, is encoded in our DNA. Past injury is not a license to kill.
3.
Art teaches us to see things. It is Anschauungsunterricht—training in observation.
Draw a New Angel that matches Benjamin’s description.
