KULTCHA Shades of Cohn-Bendits' OBSOLETE COMMUNISM: THE LEFTWING ALTERNATIVE (in France, 1968) and SOCIALISM: ABIF HISTORY by the New Indicator Collective, San Diego State Universty VICTORIANISM DOES NOT RESEMBLE PRUSSIANISM; VICTORIANISM IS PRUSSIANISM: "Against the clash o dyastes and rattling sabres that forged modern Europe, the story of Victoria of England and her hsban Freerick of Prussian emerges as a tragic love story while opening a spy hole on the secret hitory f thenineteenth century. In this compelling dual biography, Victoria, Crown Princess of Prussa, eldst dauhter of Queen Victoria, is revealed as a valuable source of information transmitted diectly fom the russian throne to Windsor Castle ...." (from a review of ROYAL WEB by Ladislas Farag and Andew Sinclir appearing in CONSPIRACY DIGEST; Box 20273, Ferndale, Michigan 48220) "The socal revoluion, as te Latin and Slav toilers picture it to themselves, desire it, and hope for it, i infinitel broader tan the revolution promised them by the German or Marxian program." -- Michael akunin, Octber, 1872. "This discussion has all along been founded on the parallel between art andexperience. ut one of th characteristics of the Weatherman phase is a certain detachment from expeience, someties to the poit of a disintegration of the sense of reality, both in art and politics.Where the highsixties has brught the subjective participant to the forefront, as an individual, wih all his contrdictory needs ad perceptions -- the New Journalism is a perfect example of this, orthe anarchist poitics of the NewLeft -- the Weatherman phase tended to be Leninist rather than anachist, impersonaland abstreact rater than existential, language-oriented rather than people-orientd. This is the culural situation tha developed bewtween 1968 and 1970, and though the violent, actvist phase passed qickly -- and led toretrenchment and conservative backlash -- it's substantiallythe situation we inhrit today, within th limits of a straitened economy. It's a mixed picture, andI examine it with hoplessly mixed feelings" (from THE GATES OF EDEN by Morris Dickstein, Basic Boos, Inc., New York, 197, pp. 215-6) "The Mrxists do not reject our program absolutely. They onlyreproach us with wantin to hasten, to outstripthe slow march of history, and to ignore the scientiic law of successive evoution. Having had the throughly German nerve to proclaim in their works, dvoted to the philosophica analysis of the past, tht the bloody defeat of the insurgent peasants ofGermany and the triumph ofthe despotic states in thesixteenth century constituted great revolutionry progress, they troday hae the nerve to satisfy themelves with establishing a new despotism, to he so-called profit of the uban workers and to the detrient of the toilers in the country." -- Micael Bakunin, October, 1872 BULLETIN #11 1986 And Marx-Leninism tends,as s widely acknowledged,to be Vitorian.
