They're both as bad as eachother. Criminality is just the obverse face of
capitalism. Hard for instance to pick the difference between the
corporate dealings of the Mafia and big business. (No, I think Genet was

swinging of denial/embrace, ethically speaking, involving more integrated
self/selves...
