What is Messianism and Marxism: A Dialectical Analysis about?
This document discusses the theories of Walter Benjamin and Ernst Bloch regarding the relationship between messianism and marxism. Both Benjamin and Bloch believed that marxism is a secularization of Judeo-Christian messianism. However, their conception of secularization is dialectical rather than unilinear, with the sacred and profane having a contradictory relationship in which each reinforces the other. Their dialectical theories of secularization help explain their blending of messianism and marxism.
