Ah! I see. I still haven't gotten used to all the idiosyncratic ways of quoting a poster on this list, and frequently can' t tell who's speaking. SA's comment is an interesting one:
"I'm for the revo so that they'll listen to me expound on Deleuze and spout denunciations of the insufficiently radical. It's a lucky thing this kind of politics has zero popular appeal"
because D&G are HUGE (at least) with the "political" fractions of contemporary visual arts and music. Far from "zero appeal."
Best, Charles
