So like, butt stuff?

Anyway, somebody was trying to talk about the Mussolini treatment and you're derailing!

I mostly agree with the article about trying to break away from the trend towards worshipping ancient thirsty blood gods BUT it also seems weird to me to pretend like the jacobins were the only reason why French society was so down with public ritual execution. "Cleansing" violence that reifies power was etched in to their collective psyches long before the revolution by the opposite tendencies.

That was the monarchy that lit that fuse and the same principle applies to extreme inequality today. The orgy of violence at the end of a similar process of stupid, myopic, masturbatory greed and ego seems more like the immune system of an organism to me.

What little anarchist agency exists, might not be able to do much about these forces...
