Walter Benjamin and A Cavalier History of Surrealism

Does anyone feel like Walter Benjamin kind of lambasted the Surrealists in The Role of a Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction? He basically accuses the Surrealists of producing Fascist art. I was influenced by that text at a younger age, but, reading A Cavalier History of Surrealism provided me with a much different take on Surrealism.
