I'm insisting that radicals need to _know_ the _meaning_ of that concrete history. You seem to think it's just a bad cowboy picture. You pay no attention to the title. amd title and the 100 years of horror implicit in that title. The part of my post that Lou called silly was written partly with tongue in cheek, but this response to it suggets that I was right. Too many radicals want nothing from art but a soothing of their own feelings. They don't want knowledge. Why do you think Marx admired Balzac?
