well, some of fascism's good points: - unites the people against a common enemy - brings about a strong economy - instills a sense of pride in oneself - and the trains run on time and some of intolerance's: - makes your life easier by eliminating people to care about - gets you lots of exciting friends - it's a good motivator so, little philip, even bad things have their good parts. it all depends on your priorities. (you didn't think i actually meant that intolerance is great and we need more of it, did you? you must use the bad things as a tool when you need to.) micah stupak /"\ laerm@soulfood.org ascii ribbon campaign \ / international bright young kook against HTML email X / \ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

trains never run on time :D unless they exhibit a great deal of entropy. which is the case in many cities in mexico, where the busses (granted, they're not trains) are owned by individuals, and not companies. therefore, they all tend to be where people are when they need to be, and through chaos are more on time than scheduled busses. now if only we could get "idm" on the radio, then we'd all take the busses a bit more. well there's always discmen/minidisks/mp3things :D --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

fascism doesn't bring about a strong economy; it forces a nation into an artificial state of war so industrial productivity goes way up. at the same time this happens, however, funds are diverted from education towards the mass expansion of the military and the creation of neo-military organizations for civilians. you end up with physically fit undeducated workers. this is why fascism burns out like a fuse after a short while, by stigmatizing the educated and the intellectuals and cutting funding off from schools you begin a slow brain drain that eventually brings down your regime. hence all the axis-power academics that fled to the US and Britain during the second world war, like fermi and einstein. and uniting people against a common enemy is a benefit of binarist thinking, not a definitive aspect of fascism. fascism relies upon the creation of mass myth-belief, the revision of history, and the deification of political action. the US civil rights movement in the 50s and 60s brought together wide-ranging groups of people who had previously not worked together in the fight for racial equality. after the movement dissipated, so did the allegiances formed during its heyday. don't defend a stupid point. your post was the equivalent of defending a dog turd for its pleasant olive-brown color. - j. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

russolo had ties to fascism; marinetti (who wrote the _manifesto of futurism_) was one of il duce's right hand men in the early days. the only reason i'm continuing this thread is because you all failed to realise that i wasn't so much defending fascism as proving a point. micah stupak /"\ laerm@soulfood.org ascii ribbon campaign \ / international bright young kook against HTML email X / \ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

hmm. "actual aesthetic" is a little vague, don't you think? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
