"Hope will be produced when, in opposition to what Williams’ describes, we work as educators and citizens, to 'on the whole [meet]… by an integration of… the priorities and interests of public well being and happiness… which will necessarily retain as its central principle… the idea of public democratic control of governance, communication and teaching the public.' Working toward such a goal will require critical discourses against militarism and capitalism, an exposure of the facts of militarism and capitalism, and a challenge to the values they both inculcate, but also critical interventions that produce alternative public spheres, modes of representation based in social justice and peace, other facts and other values, and affective and aesthetic engagements that move beyond critiques of the present order and into new ideological directions and material formations that refuse and negate the 'priorities and interests' of militarism and capitalism."
--Douglas S. Morris, "Film as Public Pedagogy in the U.S. Culture of Militarism"

This one's going in the Wolfenstein essay. Doing some early work on that one now as I try to wrap together the Halo Reach essay.
“The growing proletarianization of modern man and the increasing formation of masses are two aspects of the same process. Fascism attempts to organize the newly created proletarian masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves. The masses have a right to change property relations; Fascism seeks to give them an expression while preserving property. The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life. The violation of the masses, whom Fascism, with its Führer cult, forces to their knees, has its
counterpart in the violation of an apparatus which is pressed into the production of ritual values. All efforts to render politics aesthetic culminate in one thing: war.”
—Walter Benjamin, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”
