Is there any poetry, fiction, or non-fiction that aestheticises violence and domination? I can think of Ezra Pound’s Cantos or Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. I want to hear how order through force is beautiful.

>>25250956Doesn't the idea of aestheticized violence stem from Benjamin, though, a jewish communist? It's a loaded term that nobody would ever use of their own volition for something that they think or do. It's like asking for heretic X or Y. You can't because "heretic" is a term groups use for other groups that they don't like, a floating signifier, not a term that has a concrete meaning besides signifying ideological hostility.
