Dear Alan and all, Long time ago Karl Popper wrote:
"For the history of power politics is nothing but the history of international crime and mass murder (including it is true, some of the attempts to suppress them). This history is taught in schools, and some of the greatest criminals are extolled as heroes." So what to do if you want to establish your own order? One starts "cleaning" the place up. It is the way history tells. Leave it to the ghost writer. How to deal with this through art and other forms of expression? I really don't have a clue. It is like pondering on how to stop the waves of the sea rolling onto the shore. To kill, rape, torture must give some energy, a kind of high that is addictive and probably creates a psychological space where-in one feels him/herself master of all events in and outside oneself. Destroy that space is the one thing I can think of, while working on your art. But can we? And isn't such practice in the end self-destructive, because it will eat your soul? Meanwhile...
