to invoke fascism plays th emotions of remembered nazism an holocaust. th
futurists also linked with fascism but renounced it while still calling to
sever ties with past. just cause it went that way their way doesn't mean it
always will and forever shall be.

anyway nazis n italian fascist kept own visions of past golden age, noble
pure german mountain folk, ancient rome, they remembered th past
differently!
mr. ulmer is some authority! one man speaks, many listen. he is part of th
process of th tradition of authorial voices. it suits mr. ulmer to cite
traditional methods. some change! surrealists relied a lot on freud, a
fucked up Austrian bourgeois! one man speaks, many listen. how are these
traditions being used anew? same old same old
we (you too) are many an decentered
respect my authority, renounce authorities!
