I told him it wasn’t his fault. Giles Deleuze taught us that capitalism makes us all crazy, and that he was unknowingly committing a revolutionary act; he was a desiring machine that had been re-wired into the death impulse by the inevitable neurosis capitalism engenders. Too bad Susan Sontag isn’t around to make him a celebrity victim. I see the next Artaud here.UbuMaccabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237833458790876775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-5449462276363967012019-10-06T06:37:38.801-07:002019-10-06T06:37:38.801-07:00"Back in the day one Karl Marx offered the fo..."Back in the day one Karl Marx offered the following piece of economic policy wisdom: <br /><br />From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."<br /><br />Which he basically stole from The Acts of the Apostles (4:35).<br /><br />And, as it happens, there is a Way, one might even say a Shining Path, to make this work. We know this because it has been working for over a thousand years and is still working today. It's called the Rule of Benedict. Of course, one major difference between the Rule of Benedict and Marxist theory is the axiomatic view of human nature.<br /><br />And there is plenty of insanity in Marxist societies. It is manifested when one observes a given policy is not working and says aloud, in the presence of others, "That's not working."

A Progressive tells the truth. Someone tell the Progressive political class!<br /><br />Another example of Progressives playing theoretical parlor games with other people’s lives. And looking glowingly at the Chinese model of totalitarianism.<br /><br />Idealism is blissful ignorance.
