there's this thing
I find with anarchists
granted that I mostly know teenage anarchists
that no one, absolutely no one,
but them,
is anarchic enough
rage against the machine may be neither my favourite band/style or
constitute the most impressive political statements I can imagine
but I am massively impressed by their capacity to say something
[anything] in effective ways on topics that matter to me
mediocre seems excessively dismissive
and to see admiration of che as utterly counter to the desirable cause
well
somehow it seems to me to miss the point
i can see the compromise
but admiring che is so much better than admiring so many much more
frequently admired people
and so on and so forth
i'm sure you get my point

[i know, yoshie, i can't read and i'm insufficiently logical, let's
just take that as a given and move on shall we]
