Dear Dom,
to be ortodox communists implies to be able to quote from:
Marx and Engels
Simon Weil
Walter Benjamin
Sartre
Bertold Brecht
Habermas and Marcuse
To be alternative communists - open towards the anarchical- means to be
able to quote from:
Artaud
Bataille
Freud
Foucault
Rousseau
De Leuze
Reich
Beckett
Chomsky
Derrida
De Sade
To be right wing, to quote from:
(Nietsche) (?)
Spengler
Burke
Hume
Hegel (?)
De Maistre
Hobbs
Oakeshott
Pound
Eliot
Frazer
(we we all know this...come on!)
it is enough to make a list of quoted authors to sum up what are the
political stand points of another person.....
those who have spent at least a few years in academic envinroment have
learned very well how to play this party- game.
Can we enjoy some relapse into one's opposite sides, one's antagonists pint
of view? Just to know what is like to think otherwise...)
One always should read De Sade for the implication of radical aetheism
hundreads years before Dostoevskij and Nietzsche.
