All kinds of dusty icons lurk behind the public face. We need to bring them to the surface… For example, what about all those comparisons to nineteenth-century armies marching in orderly formation? Why is there such a horror of cosiness, as if cosiness were almost more dangerous than capitalism itself? (…) The individual militant appears as a lonely character without ties, bereft of domestic emotions, who is hard, erect, self-contained, controlled, without the time or ability to express loving passion, who cannot pause to nurture, for whom friendship is a diversion. If this is our version of what it means to be a socialist… membership of this elect will for a start be predominantly male, for if it attracts a minority among men, it fits even fewer women… The cuddly retire into cosiness and all the suspicions of the elect are confirmed. Being an elect they can rely on no one and being an elect means they have to do everything. And always the weight of the burden of responsibility, the treachery and insensitivity of everyone else is bearing down on them.

White Coke is a moniker for a variant of Coca-Cola produced in the 1940s at the request of Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov. Coca-Cola was presented to Zhukov by the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, Dwight D. Eisenhower—himself a particular fan of Coca-Cola. Zhukov liked it and asked for its color to resemble vodka so that he would not be seen drinking Coca-Cola in public, as it was regarded in the Soviet Union as a symbol of American imperialism.
there IS a place for me after the revolution.....

ganbatte. if you arent gonna die you should go back to school imo, thats what im doing and let me tell you, trolling people irl (especially college students) is way more satisfying that internet trolling.

cool. in korea? what are you taking?
i've thought about going back to school in a few years once i've got finances and shit sorted out a bit but it does seem like a weird thing to be like 35 and taking courses in sociology or some shit. plus i mean everyone and their dog is trying to break into academia and like i find the idea of grades repulsive (anarchy now) so i'm not sure i want to become a person whose job in life is to assign grades to people.

. CIa already knows everything about me after i hung out at NYc occupy anyway :p
i basically am the same person as you but working some shitty jobs made me temporarily forget i hate grades and writing bullshit and college students.
my one word of advice is you'd be surprised how dumb everyone is in school, professors will be fascinated that you have ideas and read books.
