it is so good to hear fr. you again, goldstein. i was afraid you ran out of rhetoric to use. anyhow, i suppose we do live in the age of the specacle, but it shd be annotated. also: we should turn off the radio and destroy it, not listen to music, do not look at or create paintings, not dance, eat simply on that which is only to make us subsist, furnish our homes simply and pragmatically, minimalise communication between persons, and finally, ban written language and all books. after all, what good is boycotting the tele when all these other things can take its place? as a final addition, to help safegaurd against the evil capitalist menace, we shd forget that economy exists! we shd live in hunter/gathering societies. after all, Bakunin said that agriculture leads to patriarchy, and that's not any good at all; and when we worry abt economy, we are only paying attention to Smith and Marx and Lenin, three evil people to mankind.
