- #Politics: how we may logically extend Ethics to the larger group, the science of creating and managing such groups consistent with ethical behavior and logical recognition of the metaphysical entities—humans and the community made up of humans

- #Aesthetics: the appreciation of symbols and images of metaphysical reality, which are pleasing to the extent that they are logically consistent and that they inform us about ethical interaction and/or political harmony

This is Susan Sontag describing the fascist aesthetics in art. It's a pretty solid guide on what to look out for. But can art adopt these elements (in a nonsatirical way) and still not come across as fascist? Is it problematic to acknowledge FANTASIA and Busby Berkeley as genuine works of art (these are) even as they use fascist aesthetics?

From Sontag's "Fascinating Fascism"
