klass klash


part 13  


 draft 3.1 
of 
OFFICIAL
  position paper 
 of pinky's world 
-------------------------------------
  preface pronouncement 

  relevant mission :

NEVER A FUCKING GAINZO 


-----------------------------------
 
hey how about it

 lets see if
its possible
this time 
to damp down
the klass clash
instead of 
pulling another
 
   gigantic 
fuckle buck 

like the one  
   “ progressives ”
pulled 
    in and about 
the Vietnam war 
------------------------------------
 



      this time around

  as Iraq turns chronic 

  lets not 
  add 
  our own 
super high octane
self righteousness
to the flames
 of lower  klass fury

  don't they already
despise uz enough 


==============


 if you work for a wage
  then 
  shit its only right
you take melon head peaceniks 
for
 klass enemies 

but so's Mr Big Bucks
 
isn't
 he your real
super duper top banana
 klass enemy

isn't 
he 
the one kicking your ass
and scoopin' out of 
 yer pay stream 
===================

this time around 
lets not 
make it so easy
for Old Biggle's
mouth pieces
 to whip 
 all them pale face
wagelings
into a  
 red white and blue
 HEAD HUNTING 
frenzy
 agin uz 
instead of HIMZO 
OK?

================

   -----------------
  SURE WE'RE A BUNCH 
of    treasonous coneheads
but come on 
let's realize whats up this time 
ok doc

let's deal smart 
 
knowing
ahead of time

what 
nasty thoughts 
them
 wage apes
got spinnin around 
    inside
their skulls


KNOWING WHAT HAPPENS
 TO THEIR PEA SIZED
 BRAINAL AREAS 
 if they
 have to  watch uz
protestin'
on the boob tube

knowing how it 
causes em to choke
on their tacos
 and spill 
their  brew 


knowing how
they tick
especially 
when they're 
 deep
 inside 
 those
 little dens of
domestic desperation
of theirs


================


even one moment 's pause
convinces
most minds 
that 
after the last 35 years  
they're 
more then  
 ready  
to rip open
 a few 
       double domer's noggins
at the drop of a hat 

right?

shit
I can see em 
eatin'
 my  sweet meats 
on a bun 
right now 

and I love em

you guys who don't

feeeeeeeeew


-------------------------------------
 
  
   let's not
sprong em ok 

     by  harping 
on the  over tight strings 
 too much
              
lets not 
     actually make em
    wilder 

shit 

even if we
 play it 
superkool

even if we 
play it
better then par
the whole rest 
of the way

 they’re already
so fucking raged up 

they're like  
  a pack of 
Maori blood swimmers 


======================


 kool heads
 i’m sure will agree 
 with me 

   if we’re to have
 any chance of 
 spiking 
  uncles imperial cannon 
or
 even just
 cuttin'
 down 
its rate of fire 
       
     we’d
 best not  
fuck ourselves
three ways to sunday 
by conjuring up
needless additional
  helot hellfire 

by indulging
our penchent
for
 heedless sanctimony 

end up in a two klass front war
----------------------------

top line 
 folks

 lets try to avoid
spewing
our usual 
feelin mighty superior shit 
   
   white working class
     types get burned at that 

lets not high hat the fucks 

lets been over backwards 
 not to  let em think
we're high hatin' em
  
  do that like we did before
and they'll keep 
     hatin' 
 all things bright 
and  beautiful
 till the lord comes
to take em to paradise 

yes 
hate uz and our 
moral smugnessl
to the  point of
 stake burning 


-------------------------------------
lets set a doable goal here
  
 in this latest round
 in the
   struggle against 
  Yankee imperialism


even  if we can’t get 
  working class white youth
to march 
on our side 

  at least 

lets not 
get em all against us
 
i ask this 
not cause 
I give two shits
about  uz
 I surely don't

no I ask this 
 for their sake

 god knows 
the better
 they feast on uz
the more easily 
Mr biggles
 can  
wage fuck'em


shit thats
Pluto's  law
 
the law of profits

get the wage - klowns 
to 
 hit out at uz 
gliberal burgerites
and 
right then and there
really 
hiner em
while their back is turned 
  
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  now for some history cartooning 
 
 
 listen to 
 professor  Woody 
 on his beloved
 high sixties
  

“  the nub  is simple
 during the
 latter stages of 
the  Vietnam conflict
    anti death
     anti intervention 
     anti draft  movements
  garnered huge forces
from all across
 the country's 
 college campuses 

 the  pace setters 
 among  the   respectable 
rock jived
acid popping
 white students 
 were peace freaks 

 but 
nothing like this appeal  
evolved 
among   American
 working class  white kids
they had their rock and their brewskis
 but these kids 
  that actually got drafted
 and went over to nam
  never bought the shame on america
peaceful world shit ”

               woodrow Ballberg (Phd)

 yes woody !

and heres a familiar figure of the time
chiming in to the same effect

“ we missed the reach out 
  we never connected with  
the white kids from
    working class families
the kids 
          who  actually
 served
  in that ugly brutal action ”
                           Jane Fonda 
--------------------------
 

" come home amerika" 
  
turns out 
when these
same “  stupid low rent white kids ”
 got back home 
  they returned 
to a new america 
 an america
 that had  
 left them behind

 while they were
  mentally  decaying
 over there 
 where ever they were
the home  town
they grew up in 
was taken off
 the bus route
   
------------------------------

  strangers to the uber culture


 and most of em weren't all that 
"changed" 


 sure 
 for a chosen few
 doin
any kinda 
 time around
death's  pale body  
can make ya
" hot hot hot" 

        but they were
 what 10 %

 the  others

  the other 90%

 who either never
really left safe postings 
  or 
      who came back
 unscathed "VCwise"

 just the same 

they
came back 
 fucked up 
and  fucking up 

  don't over focus 
on    the few 
who saw real action

 the bitched up souls 
 that maybe never 
will     shed
 nams  spell 

 ok  
   maybe we all oughta
   try some of
 that shit 
        on for size 
be4  we try sending 
their like out there again
  
 fine 
( in fact their refusal
to walk the dead mans trail
for uncle after 68
may well have
shut down
 ground operations
way earlier then Dick and Super K
would have liked 
.... another post)


 butfuckfor here and now 
 lets train a few thoughts 
on the most of em
the 9 out of 10

the ones who
just
 came home
period

the ones who 
 never got spat on 
but  got a stinko job
  and waited
 haplessly 
 for a band 
to come by
playing a march
 worth movin 
their feet to 

those are 
my real  Nambos

the stupid  white boys
 mostly  born
 between 1943
 and 1954 

the overlaps
 of two very different 
generations 

on the one hand
 the last cohorts 
  of the new deal  
  and 
on the other
the first  half 
of   america's 
world  boom generation 

younger then elvis
  older then travolta


 what do ya think brethren
 lookin back 
do ya 
    see the makings of 
      world citizens
              in those chaps ?

---------------------------------

    and since then
 since the last of em got home
 its been thirty years

hells bells 
the stinkers have  reproduced
        
now in most cases
 its their own
 kids
that we find 
 taking up  arms

 its their own kids 
in the" shit can" now 

-----------------------------------
PATRIOTS 
LAST GLEAMING
 IS PURE WHITE

i CAN HEAR YOU ALL

"so we blew it 
with wagered whitey
in the 70’s
ok pinky fine
but  
   why
the fuck 
should we  target white kids
 anyway ?

SHIT MOST OF EM 
are 
poisoned at birth 

they're
feather bed
job chumped 
 bribed-racists
by family tradition
 
why waste the time

they're strictly 
a write off pinky
so 
write em off
    
            afterall we don't need em 
 isn’t 
 this  a multinational society ?
and
  getting more 
multinational every day

 we don't need em
  pinky "

 yes we do need em 

and    
heres why 

as long
as they  still 
think this is
 their country
as long as a bunch of em
properly fooled 
will kill for uncle 
and 
die for uncle
as long as they 
are they're
still part of 
 biggest group 
in the flock 

as long as  
  white boyz and girlz
  still call amerika
they're  country
  it isn't enough
to round up all the rest

you got to brake off
 a chunk of them too
==================

  I know the drill here

 a shit load of 
  blacks and chicanos
went over to nam 
and 
 came back from nam

and unlike
 paleface
these guys
came back 
   wanting
 to toss Uncle Sam
out a third story window

for most
wage klass
 minority types  
  the home front 
     was and always will be 
 the  real 
war front 

shit the service is
 a pleasant respite
in some respects 

this wasn't their amerika 

and whats more
     amerika
    let em  know real  quick 
 itl wasn’t
 ever goin to be their amerika  
===============

 of course
  as a tuned in chap
I know 
    amerika wasn’t 
  paleface's   america
 either
leastwise
 not if he punched
 a time clock

sure enough 
 worker  white boys  
were and are
 on a kinda
 double secret
probation
around here

they
can call it theirs
     only so long
 as they
 job work
and
only  so long
as once 
they're 
paid up 
they
 shut up 
when 
around their betters
=================
 none the less 
AMERICA 
         was and still is
 a place 
  where if you're white 
if yer name 's  
       billy bob or vinny

you can simmer along
in   a  dellusion
 of belonging

    " it  all can be yours"

  still hovers above them
 in the nite sky 
=================

  to put a sharp point 
on it
even though
   black
  and brown 
wagelings
unlike
 they're white klassmates
         never bought
 into the fake 
"we" shit of america

 never 
 signed on to  
the whole Reagan thing

  they're not enough
to halt the tank 

==================

now jump forward in time and
see what we reaped

by our folly
 in the agitprop struggle
for the hearts and minds of 
these nambos 

today or at least 
the day before 
we piled into Iraq 

million of white spirits were 
once again ready to fight
for the red white and blue

the nam syndrome
that had effectively 
shut down the ground effort in nam

the fear of it 
that had ham strung
our  empire games 
for  years
made us play thru others
in angola and afganistan
let in the ayatollah 
hesitate over nicaragua 

all that syndrome
after enough
towel head bashing 
agit prop
and play ground push overs
all of it  
was washed clean away

 even if the brass 
wasn't sure of it
 till after desert storm

and heres my point

if ya don't brake
 that bond to old glory
if ya don't snap off a big chunk
 of workin' whitey's legion 
from all that
" this land is my land"
"don't tread on me "shit

then gang
that solid mass
 of white hellfire
is just coastin along
waitin to be asked
to pounce 
any time
Mister Mister 
needs
A FEW MORE
 attack katZ
to claw up 
the third world 
for him

QED
================


how the hell'd
 they do it so well 


best laff 
l
WHEN ALL THOSE
 DIS AFFECTED
 WHITE BOYZ GOT BACK
fom nam
 
the corporate constrictors
  twofaced 
their way
 thru the storm
by stayin out of sight 
lettin it seem
as if the pin heads from venus
had taken countrol
they laid low 
and 
they let the home boiled
 soft soap 
work miracles
on  these
war wacked whiteys
======================
             "   when he came home to 
               blah blah dollars   per hour 
              and a flabby girl friend "   
                     seems
               he still felt somewhere
            out  there
                     was an america 
                 with his name on it  "  
               
------------------------------------
yes white boyz
still saw 
americas white label 
           only
they also saw 
 it was not respected
now the pin heads were over running the place 
-----------------------------------
but 
first came    
  the soft soap 

it waz 
actually waitin for em
right there in the  familly bathroom

 yep welcome back
to the newness pal

thank god yer back
so we can all face this
venutian
occupation together 

     all of uz 
        familly  and friends
   lets all 
tip a glass
welcome home 
 tim
welcome to occupied territory 
and 
so 
the glasses were tipped

   it was private
 one to one stuff
  back in the neighborhoods
   unofficial informal
     personal 
between them and 
    their  hard hat dads 
     and yowlin mammas
between
them and their 
  mostly  
non  nam   older brothers

between them and the rest of            
 their dignity singed
  neighbors 

   they got swallowed up 
in brothers   dads and friends 
 
         whole working class
 white famillies 
and communities

and man 
did they ever
get digested 

shit
they sank back  into
 their" come froms "
despite the weirdness 
of it all
    sank back in
  and   became  
most of 
 what was waiting there
 for them
   and 
soon enough 
they were
just as snap sure
and as ready 
to  serve
 it up as the rest of em 

" and on  tap too "
 
they 
 joined   nixon’s 
silent smoldering
 white  majority 

joined it 
as its rock against hope 

yep they became 
the dope hope
 of the
"really  got no
 decent 
 shot  at anything" klub

=================
obvious 
  point one

 the deal was set 
way before
the Reagan restoration

 way be4
their vote shift
once and for all
to the dumb right
and 
forced uz to realize
not only had 
 we'd ended up
back at the same 
 split in the road
we thought
 we'd reached 
and past
in 64
but 
 damned if 
this time
 the" more "of uz
voted 
to go the other way 

voted for the road 
to
Goonyville
by way of Babbitonia

 the road we'd
rezoundingly
 rejected
 when  Goldwater
offered it 
to uz 16 years earlier 

was in 80 the frickin yelow brick.... 

but really 
 it was over
  a long 
 way be4 we knew it 

of course it was

 old dick nixon
the guy we bounced out
 on his livid rubber ass

it was him and his crew
actually   did 
the  heavy lifting 
 
even if
 it was Barrys pal 
 Ronnie
WHO FINALLY  
got to dance 
with lady liberty 
---------------------------------------------------

how did the trick stick

well:

" THERE ARE   MILLIONS
OF  
DESPERATE STORIES 
THAT MAKE UP DESPERATE
AMERIKA
 MILLIONS
AND
 EACH A LITTLE DIFFERENT 
BUT THEY ALL ADD UP TO 
ONE  DESPERATE MAJORITY "
                     R Crum 

   CASE IN POINT  

THE STORY OF   
 THE WAGELING KLASS ‘s 
 trojan  moms    


  scene one

 the mass is sobbing 
its the 
 caring moms 
 of white jobbled amerika 

all 
shot up on hokum

 hooked to their skull tops 
 on
nixonian distilled
 M.I.A. red eye 

we can thank
the Master  Trickster’s
 minions  for
 serving up that batch
of  hellish spirits 

one good shot a that and
 ever white wage home in america
had its designated  
slobbery sentimental mom whale 

      behold 
        the moms of 
the defeated
 shamed and ultimately 
 betrayed  white boys

   behold then as they
                  take  up the phantom cause 
of a phantom division 
       the moms 

  and could they scrap 
 and bawl
 fuck  
   theres nothin like the fight
against  
  demons of yer own making 
      and they were all that sort
home made demons
   they fought em  
               when  they fought busing
         teenage  drunk driving 
and daycare sexfreaks      
        they fough and they fought 
   like    
the  women of troy 
         
not that most of their boys
 died 
    or were maimed 
no way 

 underneath all the displacements 
and projections 
 those ladybugs
  were
 mourning
living losers 

         their half assed
 dead ended sons 

that  war
 the klass war 
the one their
own real  sons lost 

the one that 
whacked away
 a living slab
of 
their self worth         
 
thats what they really mourned 
and raged for       
         
in a nut shell 

  the MIA bugaboo was tailor made
 to recruit trojan mothers 



          what emblematics
                
a distaining rich suburbia
                      caring zero for
                       white boys left behind     
          only 
 WE the trojan moms
 care enough

WE care 
and
care
and 
 care      
 WE
 little mothers of america 

   
              such was the phoney
power
of the boys abandoned

like a Roy Orbeson 
lyric
it was 
poor poetry 
poor
but effective 

they weren’t  wrong were they 
                
    a generation of wagelings 
were left behind

                but it wasnt in south east asia

       it was in 
poisonville ohio
                      and 
wheelhouse west virginia
                              and
 motor court michigan

         sonny boy     
   Joe  Paystub jr 
 got   left behind

      magic presto
 sublimate displace
   TRANSMUTE 
   what ever 
  but still  
under neath
 is a generation 
or two of
losers headed down 
a dim road 
to a cheap casket 

-----------------------------

don't give 
the evil wire pullers
too much credit

it was childs play
really

the human mind 
is so complex
 hope and pride so rampant 

the shit trick 
 was easy as hell 
to pull off

TAKE 
what really happened 
over those 20 years
 from nam
top desert storm

the
 real national abandonment

the abandonment 
of the industrial heartland 

 how hard was it to 
stuff that Inside
        the ugly passion play
 of mia abandonment

easy as shit
============================
  
once more the chorus :

                 “ the high hats
               sure they can  move on
            its easy for em 
                     but what about stick ball  tommy 
                   what about him 
he’s missin still
  course he is 
                  but do
   the Potomac 
bureaucrats  care 
     no
              do  the college profs  care
      no   
      do   the tower lawyers  care
             no
do  the wall street lizards  care                      
                        no 
no none of em care 
      but i care i care 
                    that could a  been  my son 
                  hanging upside down
                      in a bat cage over there
                         that coulda been my boy”


                 pixie palladino

 in 1972   a  well intended liberal  loser cried
   
    “come home america”    

 but    it was   too late

that america never made it back
 from korea

what 
 WHITE WAGELING 
   AMERICA came
 back to turned
  in the low 70's
 turned  after a savage recession
into 
 DIXIE/DISCO 
   AMERKA 
    turned it the pursuit of  solice 
 happy hour 
    the kkk of the brass rail
 every weekday 
 AT 5 PM SHARP
  there was a meeting  
of the invisible empire of hops
smokes 
and with some butt ugly luck
 maybe a  hand job in the car 

they came home and joined 
     the bar room navy 
============================
  yes my children 

       the fat was already in the fire
           
        x million of them
       pulled off the uniform 
            of the forth reich
         
    and faded back
         into 
                 civil life
       till it was time to report to job site 13                 
--------------------------------
as to still in saigon shit well
  as i said the human  minds complex 
     if some had seen hellish action
      most really hadnt
  but after 6 beers 
  well by god they served anyway
    they were there or almost there
        or serving when.......
   
one way or other
    some way
 any way 
these wage worthy white kids 
 were the nambo 
 generation 

 trying to swamp out 
the reality of their 
70’s
dipshit award 
in a torrent of nonsense 

    for them
 the sixties were
   one type of 
 ghastly freak show
dawn of the dead 
  creep out 
 a dark passage 
 between jail house rock
 and saturday nite fever 

------------------
 now that we got that dicked
  lets 
drive over the tracks to
" our part of town" 
  
we need go no further then to state 
  the obvious


those silly ass    soaks
the ones stupid and passive enough 
to have 
       actually
    "served" 
     well fuck 
they    meant precious  little
 to most of  us college reared crapheads 
 
even 
   we progressives 
 mostly left them   
 to feel 
whatever they felt 
when they got back home
while we sucked 
black and brown toes 

left em 
to their own fantasy stew 
   
and damned if
 many too many of em 
 chose most unfortunately 
to identify
 our class remoteness 
  as  scorn and   contempt
 for  their futile status
 
   “ projection ”
   sure
 but it bit deep 

  imagine 
  contempt and superiority 

   imagine these 
 perceptions 

 imagine feeling  
these smirky shit looks 

imagine them 
maybe we didn't give em
but they sure saw em 

that to them
  was the main attitude 
 of the war resisters
    
  towards the
  returning  nambo battalions

you know this 
you know 
  to the nambos et al 
we were
 after
 shunin and shamin them  
 and 
 we were after
 weeny shrinking too 

  we were after their pelts 
 not
  the evil hides of 
   the fat bloody chieftains
          who actually 
 cooked up 
 all this shit and moonshine 

sure you and I know 
we aimed at mister big 
and 
we shot at
mister big

but guys 
we actually only hit 
 those hourly  goffers
  mister big
   wage cocks 
   
never even creased Biggles himzo 

and 
 as a hideous consequence
  
here we are harvesting 
 with the Iraq project 
 their and our 
         class bias  
 their and our 
blind  uninstructed perceptions
  of each other 

now 30 years later 
 those same  deluded kids
     never
 saw the real scam comin down 
 or if they did
took it for natures way 
or the systems house odds or or or 

they 
never  saw themselves
               and their families
  gettin
 cold bloodedly 
 painted into a corner
              by the big shits

never took in the real message 
of this 
 brave new  setup
==========================
    
   they   got wacked 
and figured we petty bugers 
were the only enemies 
they could
  scare 
==================
 ok ok 
we all know 
        it was not   intentional
   we hit em 
       by omission
  we never saw them 
         in the line of fire 

      we egg heads authored
               the pigs all pigs   
               are swine thesis

    wasn't it straight forward of them 
to figure
 they were the  pigs 
 or if not then then
 there brother was or dad or uncle 

        remember guys and gals
 the pig thing 
 like the nigger lovin thing
    was so hot to us

  in our self-righteous
moral superiority
   we never saw its other end 

   well to the white families 
they too
 not just  the sadistic
   cops and money kings
   they too 
 were the pigs
       we had in mind
--------------------------------------

          by the way 

isn’t it a great irony
 of that time
that even 
this nation’s well bred 
 internal opposition 
   was as cock sure
  and as indignantly 
  in love 
with its own virtue
  as the worst
 of the    koldwar  
best and brightest 
    liberals we bashed
 
 the high sixtie’s generation’s
   kampf 
was a 
 war between
  a pair of  generations
  alright 
 
  but only
   between
“ the better half ”   pair 
   only   between 
the grace covered
  part of  America
not the factory whistle america

 all that roilery 
was just us  
we well offs
 whacking each other
 across the genline 

separated by 
 our common
over dose
of self righteousness 
and  
self-assurance
 
ofcourse after tet
 the oldsters blinked
 and that was all she wrote

    we took em down
    
----------------------------------------


so   
 it was largely a great omission 
 
 inattention to consequences

 a grotesque miscommunication 
  caused 
    partly by 
class blindness
 and    partly by 
 a mind liberating
  narcotic  conflation
of GI’s with coppigs
and partly
 a dozen other partlys
  any  cross klass 
perceptions are subject to 
when a klass stand point is not taken
and run with the whole distance

but 
  what ever the complex
 of causes the result was clear
 because we never recruited enough
 white wage klass kidz  

the movement stayed
 ours
and stayed
dangerously klass skewed 

it was inevitable
if 
we just kept doin our thing 
if 
we didn’t talk 
their talk 
let alone walk their walk
  
==================
 need i underline 
 the relevance to now 

 no 
if anything 
its  even more true  today
 
these same folks
kidz 
 believe 
as a point 
of self definition even
   that they 
and they alone
 are 
the true patriotic
 self sacrificing 
loyal Americans

 you know this 

better offs 
woodstockers
we're all  
 seen as    Clinton types 

a bunch of treasonous 
  nerd pants weasils 

 uz 
former 
    college  flower fornicators 
and acidheads
the fucknecks 
that 
draft dodged and 
 street danced
   played ho ho ho games
 and what else

well we got a lota 
 boyz killed over there 
 they figure
  and we didn't go 


mant too many of 
 these folks now believe 
with furvor
 the students and progressives
 that  helped bring 
 many of their dads home
 in one piece 
 were  and still are
their hereditary
    class enemies
 
the top 10% ers 
  the symbolians and memo writers 
we’re the enemy 
we’re the ones 
 who  bozo beef eaters 
  care enough about to  hate 
 
not
the corporate monsters
 not the 1% of 1%

not the toppers
 who sent 
 them and their relatives to 
 fight and get fucked up
 overseas 
 to make the globe safe 
 for their brute profitz 

  its
  joe ivy college 
  and jane lawyer 
  thatz whos 
  the real  enemy

 not the corporate tower titans 
who have drilled
 their little hind ends
 for the past thirty years

============


 where does that leave us ?

well 
its kinda got 
a  rich irony 
don’t it

 for the edicated nimbletons 
able to savor it all

its kinda 
 like a sondheim song 

i know thats how it makes me feel 

and shit 
how delightful
it must seem 
  if you happen
 to own the place
what a laff riot its all been


but if yer 
a white wagewanker 
your best shot is
 forget your own life 
forget it 
  be a  fan
 be a sports fan 
 if ya need pride 
 pick a winner to root for 
otherwise
 go ahead 
 cry in yer beer bubby 

  for that matter 
 beat yer dog 
or let em 
lick yer face

who gives a fuck 
about you
after working hours 

------------------------------------
 radio daze 
klass klash serenade 

heres the play by play

the progressive
upper middle
pitted against
the white wageling
heart felt reaction

ding ding ding

what a miserable spectacle 

 wrong fight
 wrong klasses
 wrong time 

 mortal class  enemies 

class against class

oh god not these two again

these two 
 what a hapless mismatch
  round after ass wipe round 
  
  while the owners 
collect 
the rent and interest 
  
 a thirty years kulturkampf 

   with a third party victor

  Goeble's version of the
       klasskampf remedy 
 has resoundingly prevailed
  here in the disney reich 

  sometime during
those abysmal
earliest
 ‘70’s
 while
we woodstockers 
edged
our  way back
 inch by inch  
to the market place
  while we  cheered
  a bunch as
a pack of gliberal hacks 
 pulled down 
ole wooden browed  Nixon
while we weren't lookin   
 while 
 we  partied and snorted 
 our way back to total compromise 

these 
       these 
  oleaginous little frauds
these 
grease ball 
tick fly
 yankee doodle 
gas bags 
took  the  AM 
 route to 
the insides of these 
  desperate blocked off  
 hearts and minds 

these pipsqueak 
  demagogues 
got busy out there 
 and 
step by step 
most perfectly 
 soured 
our blanched 
wagelings minds
 
they successfully 
 “nationalizing”
our white working class


 it was all over
be4 we even saw it coming  
  they had rebecome cross eyed patriots 


by 1980
they were roaring
 
“ we’re number one
  we’re number one ”

  over a hockey team
 no less 

 yes mien volk

such was 
  land and blood
American style

   see our bill of particulars 
during that time

 fucking hell 
 we woody woods 
 were against ‘em
  on all the big ones

  we were 
  pro black hand out 
 anti military pride
  pro busing
 anti familly values
pro abortion 
 anti kids at home 
  pro coke 
and anti coke
  pro gay 
and 
anti disney 
 
  what else ?
  
isn't that 
   enough 
and these  wedges  worked
  and kept on working 
thru morph
 after morph 

time has shown
 dig a littlle 
and theres always
 plenty of new klass clash 
 to wedge with 

no sir 
 the klass gulf 
never shifts postion 
 seemlessly 
never shifts
 with out a grind or
 a quake 

now we can say 
and be dead right on 
when we  say it 
that 
these same white wagelings
have nothing but
 30 years
 of stagnant wages
and longer hours
 to show for their patriotism
  and their loyalty

but still we can't budge them 
off the flag day chin out struts
  
we can say it 
we can say " you've been screwed"
but 
  heres what comes out of it all 
  when all is said and done 
 that beating
they’ve taken
from mister big 

well its been recycled
   and it  comes back 
 out against  uz 

thats the upshot
 of the klass
maelstrom 
they hate us cause
 we put down america
and putting down america
 is putting down them
 and no phoney flag i hand act works
they can smell a fake
 
 --------------------------
  ya see ass hole

sure 
   white American working class
 did their duty
 however reluctantly
and sure all they got for it 
was  the glorious rewards
 of bitterness and swallowed fury

   but god damn it to hell 
   they’re still part
 of something great

  theyre still part
 of  the worlds 
number one nation

   their  god fearing pride filled
white Americans

  the lords chosen few


----------------------------------

 now its all myth 
and false mayhem 
the radio bards
 have told  them these past 30 years 
but it stuck
and  now 
its there
 right in the middle 
of  mindscape amerika 

 the blood and honor 
of two generations
 was pissed on by punks with  phd’s

  it stuck because 
they have to believe it
to live with themselves
to handle the ripping inside
 the ripping from the klass quakes
we all rip from

societies common ground  
may connect under all of   us 
and the klass  quakes 
 rip us apart 
 
------------------------------------------------
 how the fuck could we
 have made it so easy 

how could we have
 played right into
    the hands of the profiteers
-----------------------------------------------------------
  it bares constan repeating 

  the incredible strength
  of the class hate and scorn
 felt
between America’s  plebs 
  on the one hand
and her libro/yuppies
on the other
has
 for thirty years
  propelled our public life
along a course 
neither klass
 would ever freely choose  
 to follow otherwise 

    
        the ranch house bobos’
 took all the shit of exploitations merry ways 
down inside themselves 
they had their voice
all along of course

 remember when it was  Wallace 
 with his 
  demonic  gallery
 of grey suited nasties
those pointy headed liberals
 college “overeddicated” 
lovers 
of  red tape
 seat belts
  higher   home
 and payroll  taxes

 REMEMBER WHAT THEY GAVE UZ 
   and just for fun too
   
fun     and  social sanctity

 they gave uz  
  nose boners 
  in the school desk
 behind  yer
daughter
------------------------------------------------------
  the black flower bloomz 


    from the tet offensive  in Saigon
                    to
       the dem convention  in  Chicago
 thatz the high point 

  starting with tet in the winter 
 over  in nam
  thru johnsons bail out 
and 
king and kennedy gettin theirs 
 thru nigger riotz and the like 
all the way 
     till
 “ a few  had enough cops ”
 settled accounts with the peacefreaks 
   in Daleys chicago that summer 
 that was the was of wases 

right the hell there 
   that    was ground zero

  for all the hard hat reaction 
  ever since
     those glorious   hard hats

 all that topsy turvey 
needed sortiong out
and the hard hats 
reached for their club 
and pointy
  pimple  heads 
and afroed zulus 
 became a proper
      a very proper target 
for their redirected class  wrath
  
from wallace to agnew
     to reagan to mr green jeans 
  the demagogues
   plucked out  wedge
  over and over 
  to lay em up near  the cup
for an easy election day 3 footer 

------------------------------
“  hit the boiling spot 
  dead on and you’ll 
split the people wide open ”
on one side 
 its still clean gene and the collegeboys
backed by 
 balding domes and arm patches 
 braying  brat bitches and a case of crabs 

  there were later additions and editions  
     like degenerates in  three piece suits
     hiding behind  big do nothing jobs
    professional titles 
         pimping kids and niggers
     secret coke sniffers
  blow job getters   
    and every last one 
     an exdraft dodger
 ever seen the eternal jews disguises 

 make your own managerie
  of hard hat furies
   your own judas   goats 
of wageling  reaction
  
 this class nightmare 
   this hallucinatory league of 
darky lovin
 america hating
  money for nothin 
chicks for free
    pack of  yellow spined demons 
    may be 
  responsible for  every single  male 
 reactionary blue collar vote
 for the last  35 years

  yes wallace in ‘68
   foretold  a massive 
  blue collar class reaction 

  and he knew damn fucking well 
these shitz didn’t fear niggers 
   no  race reaction was a sound
    not a cause 
just like now 
 with  nativism
 vs the brown wave immigrants
    the redneck syndrome
  is a     projection
of 
the respectable liberals
this is their 
 delusion 
 they 
 created this displacement
     race prejudice
 though surely present
      hardly motivated
 the blue collar voter
    even in this they struck against 
       elitist  liberals not blacks
              “ nigger lovers”
not rmuggers
       dangerous and patronizing
         social engineers not rioting dark rabble
 white   bluers knew
 and know that blacks
         by themselves are powerless
 and brown   immigrants
 by themselves pose no
              unsolvable  problem
  no they fight liberals not darkies 
   their blows are  blows
against a powerful cabal of 
       alien beings
 like the nazi/juden contratemps of 
      weimar germany

       the liberals are space lizzards
                   pointy headed jew like 
                    creatures cavorting around 
                      on top of the world
                              every where
                your fantasy self
                 wants to be          
--------------------------------------------
too bad the lizzard fantasy 
 can’t be
pinned on the tower titans 
 butfuck 
 Nader goes no where with them 
 prolly cause tower guys dooooo
scare them 
--------------------------------------------------

 Wallace was going to put the liberals 
         in their proper place not the blacks
       

      college sons won’t grow up
         to be cowboys
     they cant drive cattle
    “ they dont know shit ‘bout
          the real  rope and ride
             of this hard earth” 

 even on the wage against profits front
    the target is more the liberals 
   then the capitalists
     more dangerous green progress blockers 
     and sanctimonious creature comfort stoppers
   then the nefarious and ballsy
     profiteers themselves
   

    transnational corporations

      whats the problem

    antiglobalization movements to hell

    the working stiff targets
 the reichian symbol workers
 the 10% benefiting from globalization
 
in the job and professions market

    not the stock and bond clippers

     junior can give them a tax brake
  long as he holds back the liberal
     payroll raiders
 lookin to redistribute 
 white work dollars
       to “ shirkers greasers and wogs”

liberal taxers and liberal judges
         regulators with ivy degrees
          and double domed  scorners
        all too quick to flash their cultural snobbery
             and intellectual condescension 
  
go get em george 


  yes a vote for that saddle shoes
 prepster  cheerleader
  was seen  in 2000  and  seen today
 even  after his lobbicratic congress
       slipped a  rich shits
     tax liberation/legalized evasion 
  right thru the middle
  of a floundering economy   
not once but three times 

none the less 
  everything he does is seen 
     as a blow
   against those ffing class enemies
     the 10 % of america 
   thats making financial progress
     the ones with center ring success
               in this global circus
 
 no the puddinheads 
dont hate the one percenters
 not even the 1% of one percenters 
the  10,000
 the true elite
  the finger snappers 
 the tippy  top green heads 
  the guyz and dollz 
    getting the unproduced 
 payout produced
on time and on target 

ok ok 
so 
 maybe little whitey 
 digs
 the occasional auto da fe 
like recently 
 “that cunt hostess there
gettin it in the azzz ”
  

but by  in large
its a nope nope nope 

 the big kaps get a
 white  workin mans pass 
    
         no sir and no mam
 mostly whitey sticks to a world he knows
a world hes in 
the wage race is his race
and naturally 
more then anything else 
he       hates
the winners
 in the race he’s
actually in 
 more then anything else 
 he hates 
       the successful jobsters
 and respectible scamsters
       the elite effete snobocrats  
   in other words
 not the guys
 that actually  own the circus
  no 
he hates 
the star acts
its them
  he wants fucked with 
       
enter little ring master george
  in the top hat and red coat 
           with
  his mothers cruel senseless  smile
 and crackin whip 
 “    hell hes good people
 just like his mom ”

              “hes got my   vote”
     why ?
cause 
   from there in the stands
         hell he looks like he’s their guy 
 “shit just 
 watch eem 
   watch eeem
 make those fuckballs scamper 
   re elect eem and 
       we’ll see some fancy shitz
        jump and scurry ”
             

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 what went wrong 

thatz 
 simple
 
  “ we  didnt put the class struggle first “


  didn’t we progressives
 know better then to let this go on
uncontested?

  didn’t we know there was a class
antagonism building
 didn’t we know 
   the absolutely wrong class struggle
  was under way

  not the people against
 the wealthy 
 the exploiters
   not
the shop floor collar  blues
 and the open office typers 
 against the guys behind the oak doors

no
 we got 
   joe hammer and  mickey wrench
  vs bill 
  yes bill 
“blow mr clinton jr 
will ya kid ”
         
 be honest 
we knew 
 all along 
we knew
ofcourse we did
 we  didn’t 
put the right  struggle first
 in our hearts and minds
  because that wasn’t where we were at 
we didn’t put in the agitation 
where it belonged
    cause 
     the struggle to unite 
  progress with the broad
 white  working class
   seemed like 
  just so much ho hum 
     grayness 
better write em off 
  then turn gray too 
write em off 
and hope righteous prevails anyway 
------------------------------------------------------------


  brute social fact

if we indeed 
ever  wanted
or
 ever want  
social change
 to be social progress

the workers
 the white ones especially
had to be
have to be
  leadin the pack 

during the wonder years from 64-74
they weren’t 

 no no no no no 
they weren’t 
then  and aren’t
now 

in fact 
 the last time they were
leading the charge to progress 
 was some where back
   in mid  1940s 
 ----------------------------------------
  the wage dependent bunker famillies
   


circa 1968
most
anti draft
anti bombing
   campus eruptions
   simply ignored the effect
  these actions were having 
 on those white bunker families

  the protesters ignored 
the famillys 
even or especially 
the ones with 
boys over there

  and this is
one of the greatest
misfortunes
  of our times 
  
 what we see right now
 in the barely stifled
rage  of the lower classes 
against the Iraq protesters

  against the unamericanism
of attacks on flag and president

  this is the roar of the violated

     the roar of the alienated

    the roar of the indignantly  righteous
  lashing out at 
       a scape goat

  this in short
is the triumph of
 the class wedge


 ten times the progress killer
 known by the holy holy types 
as  the race wedge
-------------------------------------
 jew know better 
then to compare yourself to Sid 

 the jew of  weimar germany 
was both 
a class proxy and a race alien
for Germany’s
desperate majority
the class was the “ plutocrats ”

  after all someone 
fucked up the economy 

to nationalize germanys workers 
required locating 
  a group 
that could both weld 
   the workers to the middle class
   and at the same time 
 purge the middle class
of its own repugnance

 slavs and other nigger like figures weren’t enough 
what was needed was some group far more successful 
capable and threatening 
   such was the jew 

 both during  the early chaotic years

 and then again
 during the depression years

   what say you
 woodstockers ?
do you see how 
you are definitely not not not 
  the dirty jews 
 of the new dawn of empire

why ?

because you are a 
 cultural fraction of a class
 not a figment  of a fragment  
--------------------------------------

is that then 
the whole story

can you bet on it 
can you say 
“  the class wedge will work
  every time ”
can you say 
 “  the corporate waxmen
 will always succeed 
    class jujitsu always works 
and as a kicker the tower titans 
 always can manage 
a  nice little
profit pop too ”

is that always the reward 
for splitting 
our great middle people apart

pleb
vs 
prof 

brain Vs blood 

yes and no 
-----------------------------
put aside
 direct scape goats
 like 
the second rate nations 
those are rage toys 
 not proper for  wedge jousts
 
like the  black folks living among us
 save them for the real crisis
  save the fags and lesbos too
    beat the liberals 
   but by the better side
             wins 
 rules of 
       engagement
    by bill opf rights rules
  for now at least
    cause 
  for now 
its quite enough 
  to get it done 
the clean and easy way
  just tumble the social center
 over itself
  one  middle 
against the  other middle
keep em 
  revolving  over and over themselves
   one goes up the other goes down
   and thank the gods
 of a  decent profit
   this way 
 neither of em ’ll
 get anywhere

   but the plutonians sure will 
the wealthy ones 
  
 how little 
they  need to do
 themselves
throw a little dough around 
in a few right places 
and the scrap ‘ll be
fierce in no time 

its so lovely to see
there are 
the two patsy classes 
themselves
doing  all the heavy lifting 
  
 now if the system can just 
   avoid  another 29
 if there don’t come 
a 29/2...................

------------------------------
 the falt line between plebs and profs 


  the constant systemic
clash

 as the two halves 
of the Noble American middle
 “wrastle” each other
 across
the great divide
 
 where the two  clash against 
each other
 like techtonic plates
  they  constantly
strain
  each others composure
 just the right  brake point
  and sudenly like 68 
  both sides are in for 
  another massive social  quake
    where class clashing
suddenly bursts into class bashing

well we just had 
 a pretty strong  quake folks
  over Iraq
 this  one 
 sent  the global morality 
of a major piece of one class
  grinding  past the near hegemonic
 Yankee doodle
 flag forward patriotism of the other

 and
   whamooooo
  
  today 
the day after 
        there’s 
  a split running  nearly 
the full length of the borderline
betwixt the plebs 
              and  
       the libro/ yups

  yes the middle kingdom of our country 
  is  split again
  parted 
by Bushes arm wave 

  like Moses 
parted the red sea

      friends of  peace 
and social progress

is the game once more
 already over ?
  
====================

 how did we get
   all the way
 back here so fast
===================
