First Time as Tragedy …

One of the resources we can draw on to conceptualize this problem is Marx’s great text on historical repetitions, ‘The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte’:

Human beings make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare upon the brains of the living. And just when they seem engaged in revolutionising themselves and things, in creating something that has never yet existed, precisely in such periods of revolutionary crisis they anxiously borrow from them names, battle cries and costumes in order to present the new scene of world history in their time-honoured disguise and in this borrowed language.12
