… did Benjamin say again?
Can anyone help me out on this? I vaguely recall a quote by Walter Benjamin, to the effect of aiming to produce work of no use to fascists. I used to know the reference and the exact phrase, but fucked if I can remember either. I’d like both.
Some googling turned up a blog discussion including a paraphrase of “Benjamin’s goal: to write in such a way that your words are of no use to fascism.”

… was the Sojourner Truth Organization?
You should go to Mike’s and he will tell you.
