Antifascist analysis of Littleton massacre/ " politicalness"

[Chuck Miller]

I'm sorry I haven't had time to put time in on the list about this subject.
I liked the article about the fascist tendencies of the seemingly random
acts of terrorism in the schools. One thing seems certain: these are
political acts. I think a more useful category is "political nihilism,"
though, especially since the ideological and political vocabulary of the
perpetrators is so ill-defined. I also think the discussion is seen in
postmodern terms, instead of a strictly sociological analysis. In this
sense, one needs to look at the dominant political interests of a system
designed to marginalize all expressions of difference and socialize normalcy
through various means of institutionalized programming. The schools are the
primary means of this... In the movement towards greater technological
homogenization, individual expressions of radical personhood are ridiculed
and turned into anti-personhood. The violent reaction by school kids shows
the utter viciousness of conformism and how much pressure there is placed on
kids in the schools to embrace the corporate-designed life-styles of
consumerist bliss.

Anyone ever seen "IF," the Lindsay Anderson film done in the he early 70s?
It depicts two English school kids mowing down their classmates and parents
in a fit of nihilistic terrorism. Is that prophetic or what?
