IF YOU GOT THE FIBER 




------------------------
from circles into cells 
or 
WHAT IS TO BE DONE 
COMRADES

  do any of us 
 know what cadres are
anymore
do any of us care
 after the farce of the last 25 years 

we’re back in the circle jerk stage 
again 
------------------------------------------------

new leftoids
a herd of 
anarchosyndical centaurs
shot down by 
a thousand arrows of 
contempt and loathing 
from   the bows of their love object
the toiling  colored  masses 

the klass struggle 
the self emancipation of the wagelings 

we never did get it all 
digested well did we 
----------------------------------------------


“ say cadre to me 
asshole and all  I think
is  Stalin’s goonies ”

 i like ike 
conditioniong worked 

a commie russian style 
remained 
 a hack with skinny eyes 
a concrete chin 
 wearing  a elevator operators uniform 
and carrying a tommy gun 

or facesless shadow man 
in a   trench coat and a lumpy Fadora

nits for  brains 
with reptile paws 
and an urban stench 
fit only for 
 tooling  around 
the  attractions
at Sov Disney 


see him knock on midnight doors 
at the first stage of 
 UNCLE JOE’S
MAD MAD MAD MAD RIDE
or 
apply the electrodes 
from behind 
at 
PHANTOM COMMISSARS
OF THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO 

how about it  folks 
did Lenin  
by pulling together
 a bunch of bohemian ner do wells
into an administative apparatus 
create the womb 
  red hacks grow in 
or didn’t he ?

back there in 
 1903 
the dawn
 of
“  the party of a new type ”
can it all be forseen 



if not the nightmare machine
 of the 20th century 

 then what the fuck did he invent 
 -----------------------------------------------------

 it's 1903 
the cadre party gets a first coinage

and it's 
 a system of full timers 
pros 
 an apparatus
like the pony express 
a relay system
all interconnected 
fast no nonesense
get it done to the max 

the archetect 
this V I 

I bet 
old Rocky ONE 
 would see
 he was a comer 

if you were up to
leading  a
 revolutionary class
towards and thru
a social  revolution
 
not  a marxacoid
 gospel  choir
 or  rambunctious 
every which way but right 
 bomb and scream  club 

then Vi had it square on 

build a safe command center
with a paper and a policy 
and hook it up 
to a network of local units
as pervasive as possible 
then get  the boho circlers
in those local units
working full time
stop the endless bull sessions 
and get them the fuck 
out of their  flea bitten
student paper piled  holes
and bury them  
as deep into 
 the real everyday 
 klass struggle as possible

key formal drives 

1 centralization 

2 specialization

3 mostly   implementers

4 fewest possible 
 formulators

5 need to know basis

keep it tight
 keep it cool 
small
 compact
 well shaved 

keep the  core 
at the top one eyed
and ready to jump 

comrades of this new millenium 
do you see
sign posts to the  gulags 
running out from here 
at this foundation
 into the decades ahead darkness 
at noon 
-------------------------------------
 often as not 
Lenin reads like he’s 
the CEO   of General Revolution Inc. 
like a form follows function guy
 
an Org modernist
like Freders dad in 
that fascist vision Metropolis 

 not a  Rottwang 
like trotsky 

its so obvious what's astray here 
he is cast against type
he should have rebuilt 
 the czars school system
  developed out of his  fathers beginnings

then again 
no armchair scrupples at all 

no Rosa Lux
 the SDS er dream red

where's Weber’s 
justifiable fear of  the machine 
made of human parts and 
yet soul devoided

where’s V I ‘s 
 sense of jeopardy here
interchangeable people
like pipe organ pipes

societies symphony
played on three decks of keys 
why no fear of mechanization ?


can a part be
a whole  
was he about to lead
a successful effort
to construct 
the cleverest most  durable 
most effective 
 killing device of all time 
a gigantic  people harvester 
made of people 
------------------------------------------------
V. I. seems to thrive on this 
fear his opponents have 
of his ruthhless reductivism 
this compact
 pass it down 
  get it done
 implement as ordered 
set up 
at each new stage his sense of vindication grows
that is until
1921 
then ....................

but back here in 03 
its full speed ahead let the axes fly 
chop off the ginger bread 
--------------------------------------------------
where St Max Weber 
and Red Rosa 
sees
 ROOM AFTER ROOM 
 of  solitary men   at  desks
each one working the shit out of their 
   in box and  out box 
each one just one little part
 of a system 
thats  connected 
 itself by these same 
in and out boxes 
 men in   coats
and ties
 worshipping the grind
of daily routine 

V. I in power 
will come to  sees this form
clearly 
its superstructure that corresponds 
to  the mechanized factory form of production
the assembly line of control and information 
flowing in and out of a system of offices

 not running standard oil
but rather now  running workers inc 

at least running it here in 
stage one 

for now best bets are on 
centralization
large scale 
 integration  
 all  in one
soup to nuts
like henry's  river rouge 

like a   Busby BURKLEY 
 HIGH KICK 
caste of hundreds 
DANCE ROUTINE 
drill after drill 
one move 
AFTER ANOTHER 
round about 
all as one 
and one as all 

then again thats 21

but back in 03 
 its 
no coat and tie here 
Lenin  sees a   cell forming
inside a hole in a wall 
maybe with luck 
 a bulb burning yellow 
above it 
but thinking like bank robbers
not literati 
 
 a cell thats  part of
 a system of cells 

a system of cells  
 step by step 
expanding ready to 
 facilitate 
 the   disintegration of
one and all daily  routines

one and all
 old orders 


-----------------------------
THE IRONY

 FORM NEVER CHANGES
SAME  SAME SAME 

LIKE SOME LARGE MARKETING OPERATION
THE HARD PARTY
HAS ITS LOCAL OPERATIONS 

interchange the settings 
and the pay scale
	V I ‘S PARTY BRANCHES
AND FORD'S SHOW ROOMS 
 could be manned by   each  other
twilight zone stuff 

FORD KEPT HIS DEALERS 
 WITH THE ILLUSION OF INDEPENDENCE 
HE HAD A LUXURY LENIN LACKED
------------------------
 why always this sawbones?

'fuck no wonder the deal went sour 

lenin wasn’t a true massifying overthrower 

he was a platonist
a believer in guardian castes "

oh really 

try this hat on 

maybe without that high kick 
coordination mania of V. I. ‘s 
come 1917 october 
and 
the whole opportunity
 if not missed to begin with
is gonzo in 6 months

in your better way 
other way world 
maybe it's 
1918
 and 
welcome to
 General FUCKYAVICH’S 
WHITE RUSSIAN REVIEW
 
100,000 reds 
 dangling from 
 lamp posts 
for Orthodox Easter services .....


MAYBE THAT’S

 WHAT WOULD BE DONE 
if  a Rosa Lux  type
got to be  left flank leader 
in side russia's revolution 
like she did in germany 
--------------------------------
