All this talk about "what Socialism really means" strikes me as the old familiar lamentation:

Blue, blue windows behind the stars<br>
Yellow moon on the rise<br>

Throwing shadows on our eyes<br>
Leave us<br>
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless<br>
Babe, can you hear me now?<br>
The chains are locked and tied across the door<br>
Baby, sing with me somehow

The answer is "never", and attempts to prove "what Socialism really means" waste precious time.

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door<br>
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, yeah


Mama put my guns in the ground<br>
I am sorry to be difficult, but Dionysus heard me thinking "just...?"
I can't shoot them anymore<br>

Diary

Aug 19

The word "Socialism" has been a slur used by the ruling class and their police agencies since at least the 1890's.

All this talk about "what Socialism really means" strikes me as the old familiar lamentation:

"Why doesn't anyone understand me?" (Or more charitably: "When will they ever learn?")

The answer is "never", and attempts to prove "what Socialism really means" waste precious time.

The Apollonian and the Dionysian are co-equals

I am sorry to be difficult, but Dionysus heard me thinking "just...?"

Now he and Apollo sing as one:

"The Apollonian and the Dionysian are co-equals."

[I love serving the Muses, I truly duly— but they ride my nervous system like it's a Scythian horse]
