    This sounds like: “Who listens to Wagner, i’ve only seen nazis do it.” It can be the case, but doesnt have to be.

      Sure but if you say you’re a Jungian leftist I’m going to start looking for your judas goat opinion. I like Tristan und Isolde, but I’d never call myself a Wagnerite in the same way I would a Mahler Chad because it’s so far outside of the modernism that you’d expect from the left. It’s a very different intellectual thread coming from very different ideological sources.
