   Ralph 
   -------------------------------


   wait a minute
   pink why the mock
   wasn't 
   that 
   the pop front strategy?

   yes and  no 

   no first

   pop front 
   was
    a post" chancelor" hitler
   europe's goin'  fascist 
    deal

    a crisis

   a world wide crisis

   time for 

     if anything
    can work
     and 
      make it  work

   and it did
   it 
   worked 
   some places

   in france  in '36

   but even then

   if  shootin starts ?

   like in ah spain

   then...

   right !


   now 
   the  yes  part

   pop fronts are defense

   paper sword defense 

   naderite tough

   so pops are like now 
   when it comes
    to the what of it
   even if theres
   also
   a  crucial why not of it 

   get it ?

   pop fronts 
    " hold up" 
   when

    kap & company
   stick to
    no blood spill rules

   if the profit goons 
   wanta  play rough...

   when its all ya got
   and ya need to try what ya got

   go for ralphs hand shake

   but if its just boatin time on the swanee 
   its a waste
    best left
    to the left over pattys  


   ----------------------------
    by the way 
    
   while  yer still 
   in yer 
    poll time finest

   you best not 
   talk about 

    prole klass spears
     and rockets 

   no  

   klass forward
   firing  lines

     save em 
   for
    moments
    of mobilization 


     klass earth quakes
   moments of brilliant offense

     the february to octobers 
                of history 
      

   any
   non-sense 
   like that
   now 
   only

   " freaks out'
    the little guyz

   the "nation of shop keepers"

   in any
    inside the system
   "POPULAR"
     election

   PAY ATTENTION 
   TO THE LABEL

   be
   "POPULAR"

   not
   "KLASSY" 
   ------------------------------
    digress:


   the old trot trot trot B.S.
    circa early thirties


    BUILD
   KLASS UNITY 

   what a pathetic  knock
   on the stalino line 

   in
    pre Adolf ascension
    germany

    PATHETIC FOOLISHNESS

   sure the stalinos
    bashed the SD's

   why not 

   what gain 
   from KLASS  unity 


   " we can be social democrats too "

   "so let us together
    form a government"

   fat chance  

   so what 
   if wagelings  nominally 
   were spittin close 
   to  a bare ass 
    popular majority 

   AN ELECTORAL COALITION 
   of klass parties 

   OF REDS AND SDS

   AS LEON  T    Rxed


   fuck
   never
    had 
   even a chinaman's chance 
   of blocking  
   the nazi rise 

   such a klass act 
   would  either
    never get elected

   or if they did win
    fail
   in every direction

   either 
   by trying so hard
    not to ruffle
    the shop keepers 
   and home makers 

   or 
    like the macdonald 
   labor government
   in england 
   by
   trying to keep
   the bankers happy 

   come on 

   think about it

   an "independent"
   wageling  behemouth

   towering up over
   depression era  germany 

   shit that didn't cut it in 1919 
   when the place
    was hot jelly 

   but by 1930...

   shit 
   talk about scaring 
   the villagers
    to  form a  torch light  
   procession ....
   announce 
   some  type of
    klass united front stuff
   that year 
   after
    the nazis huge surge 

   with 25% reserve army 
   out a work  rates........

   no no no 

   threaten to 
   kick  
   Weimar in the belly
   with a united laborer boot ?

   kick her 
   when shes 
    on her hands and knees ?

   blow out the credit system
   building roads
    and apartments
   on printed  dough ?
    
     shit just the prospect 

   far from coldcocking 
   the nazi herd 

    woulda 
   prolly  
   accelerated

   the"brown shirting "
   of the fatherland 
    by 18 months 
    at least 

   " fuck
   the catholics 
   and the stuffed shirts 
    get me hitler...

    Herr Adolf

    heres the keys

   drive uz
    where ever 
   the hell you want

   just get us 
   the fuck
    as far away

   from  redville
    as possible"

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

   or 

   look at italy in 47 


   1947!

   " after benito how 'bout uz ?"

   now there was
   a best chance  campaign

   talk about klass unity 

   you got it

   short pants socialists 
   and stalinists united 

    running under
   one flag
   and with

    bill a rights rules
   in full force

   an economy 
   tottering no where 

   secret kremlin gold 

    etc etc etc 

    and  yet...

   nope 

   just a  few 
   yankee dollars 
   and
   hollywood  promises 
   stuffed up
   the right ass holes

    and 
   there it was 

   final score 

   pope 3  reds 2 

   "euro -civilization 
         was    saved

    headed west 

   and 

   not lookin back" 


   -------------------------------------
   nope nope nope 
    
   dearest kleo
    has shown 
   more then once 

    no  
    "working klass" 
   built and backed slate
   can

    grab 
   a "practical"
    electoral  majority

   continue
    to play by 

   queensbury  rules

    and 

   still  hold 
   on to power
    
   except
   except except 

    if its acting
    like a good boy


   not only dancin'
    with the nader types 
   but lettin' em lead

   and even then 
    its prolly up up hill 



   so most times
   it ain't worth the candle


   stay on  the job

    raggin  the boss
   behind his back
   beats most 
   election campaigns 
   for
    progress
   redress
   and express 

   let 
   the god damn
    college kids
   wail  that sax 

   they got
    nothin better
    to do anyway 

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

   hey pink
   are you sayin
   nix to 
   socialism with a human face?
    
      yup and nope 

   yup  
   cause 

   "sorry 
   the bus 
   don't really
    stop regularly 
    at 
   mr dubchek's  corner "
                       fidel castro

     and yet   nope
    cause 
         the progress pattys
              will always

   dance with ya 
   to that number
    if ya let em lead 

    times come 
   when ya need pattys
    like jesus himself 
   to make weight
    in the klass power balance

   if the whole place
    is at 
   one of those
    rare 
    tipping points

   where 
   either
   the old democratic 
   whore 
   keeps her beat 
   or 
   a gay  beefer 
   in drag takes her out 

   like 
   france 34-38

     gettin it on with a ralph          
    just might make a diff comrades 

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


   so pals

   lets recap;

    its  
   a klowns move 
   to "clobber"
    the burger bits
   when its 
   defense yer playin 


   when the currents runnin agin ya 

   but 
    Mister B B Hegemon 

   is still the host of the regatta 
   and 
   not  about
   anytime soon
    turning the helm 
   over  to the pirates 
   -----------------------------------------------
   rule of the red thumb 

   don't try to

    " sharpening "
    the klass struggle
   when its dull 


   particularly 
   thru 
   a popular election campaign

   whats this mean?

   simple 

   leave it to the patty rads 


   they love the self display 

   let  em toss 
   all that 
     hair raisin' mush 

   they like scaring
   each other  

   yup

   the Ralph line 

   let em go hoarse 

   accusin the bad burgers
   of 
      "brakin'
    their own rules"

   naughty naughty 

   lets 
   "indict em "
    

   lets 
   apprehend 
   the dang 
   " banditos"

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

   sorry
   bores me  
   like it bored
    h l menken 



   i hate 
   puttin'
    the struggle tools away   

   trying 
    to tap dance 

   so
   when ya can't really
   bust a move 
   why bother
   waltzin
   --------------

    then again

    christs sake 
   if ya just
   have ta
    get in to 
   the thick of it 

   please go ahead 


   just 
   no 
   radar red
    ranger  shit
   okay?


   anti kap 
   worker worker worker
    jerk offs
   turn
    actual 
   honest to god  
   wage crafters off 

   no no pals

   wagelings like
   a certain ironic 
    deference 
   to national institutions
   especially if you're
   runnin
   their present office holders 
    down some 
   ---------------------------------


   like award ceremonies
    
   prez election campaigns 

   should be 
   played  strictly  
   " high tea "
    

   steer clear of 

   the tromp tromp tromp 
   of  100 million
        angry wet hen feet 


   especially 
   as we get
    closer and closer 
   to
    polling day 

   keep the patty-cake 
    sunday  suit jacket buttoned  

   play it all 
   like 
   an ambulance chaser
   in court 

   like you're

   in front of
   a  jury of 
     human resource supervisors
   and 
   book shop owners 

     cry 

   "injustice
    crimes 
     lies
     greed 
   inhumanity"

   and be sly  funny
   not fluster fucked

   swallowed up funny 

   abe lincoln
    will rogers funny 

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

   pinky 
   what about 
   the bully pulpit 

   what about 
   the chance 
   to teach 
   exploitation lessons 
    to wagery ?


   shit 

   sure 

   " any   burger party 
   is a profit party"

   thats a tautology

    but save it for the choir 

   come november
   in 
   the public square

   top voice 
   cries shouldn't exceed 

   " jail  the rogues"

   " turn the bums out "
   ------------------------------------

   "no ballot box 
   contains 
   a social revolution"
          vladski nick  
   ------------------------

   think about it 

   of course not

     if elections
    are running 
   thru smooth
   " enough "
   civil waters

   (and playmates

   over here
   state side

    thats every
   fucking  election 
    since 1788

   including
    1860 
   and 1932 )

    you're playing
   blood free  games here

   so don't scream "murder"

   be understated 
     
   its 
    the top rung of
   the fuckin first world
    you're in for fuck sake 

   if yer majority white

   and even lowly waged 

   the state's
   gun 
   is
    well hidden 

   unles you're
    beatin yer spouse

   or drunk drivin

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

   but pink are there not  lesser evils ?

    lesser evils

   but 
   still 
   big deal 

   size aside

   evil is evil 

   bizness
    is the ultimate
    bizness
    of donkeys too 

   but
   cause I'm lazy here

   I'll 
     fall 
   off the knife 
   the other way too

   and say 
   again 
   big deal 

   so far as I go........ 

   if bells ring when you hear 

   "kerry ain't bush

   at least in florida and ohio and.. "

   even if
    
   george

   his  fresh 4

     big fucking deal

   if you don't believe me 
   ------------------------------------

   to add yours
   to

   under your straw bosses ass 

   and do it  
   first  chance 
   you get 


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