Here is something I just read on the marxism list: You have to love this quote from a former Socialist (PASOK) voter: “Do you think a republic with a strong educated population can lose their freedom so easily?” he asked. {Voter for the Golden Dawn neo-Nazi Party}

ya
sending the elites a message
can get you
a nasty message back
the conversion of a social democrat
to a social fascist not just an angry rejectionist gesture
is often too easy
then your union is dissolved
and the national labor front
"erected" around you
its always interesting to observe
which social democrats "stay"
or which drift to the established conservatives
and in deep crisis
when the establishment is faultering badly
which move to the "non bourgeois "left
and which hop over the establishment
to the anti liberal right
social fascism is alive and well
in the hearts of some wage earners
a product of decades of relentless social democrat agit prop against
the alien commie threat
like our new dawn voter here

Life is a pathology on the pure, unchanging, and lovely substrate of the nonbiological world.
