and there's a third alternative: socialist barbarism (e.g. the systems ruled by Stalin, Mao, etc.) > If you don’t hit it, it won’t fall. so how are we going to create a self-organized mass movement of the working class and other dominated segments of society that will "hit it"? a small bunch of isolated pen-pals can't do it. -- Jim Devine / "In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite." -- Paul Dirac.
