from a baby about to run into traffic to the POUM


noam 
the lovely old 
Don Q 
of our epoch

sez he'd stop a child
 from running into the street 

 

"no time to lose...
    main force if necessary... 
          unknowing child ....
                     death is at hand "

right

but where does this line stop?





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



 




the  chobviously not 

when its 
a whole class of pre schoolers 
cutting across a street 



well how many steps 
are needed to take us to....

say  the POUM 
 about to lead
 " the workers"of catalonia 
out into a street 
 infested with armed and murderous  fascist pigs  ...?


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



omsky's challenge 


  
"a cock sure
  line of moralistic jive 
that cuts across 
vast territory
on its way back 
to same old same old 
smug pb received
home and garden type 
         moral notions ....
 a jagged string
of heuristical  value fetishisms

 litmus tests
administered 
with ruthless 
mad hatter 
 cold cockery ....
  inquiries that are 
 circular 
predications 
not of facts 
that flow from history 
but judgements 
that flow directly
 from kangarooish
court ordered  definitions of terms ....."

removing
a contradiction 
cause
you've misapprehended it
to be  an inconsistency 

a bug in your 
pseudo-algorithim ...

well thats where you get
to  noam and his sancho  pol pot "


restating the chomsky challenge:

one challenges all manifestations 
of  institutional  authority
               to prove whether or not
        that authority 
       has the right to use force legimately  

if authority
        fails the chomsky challenge

  any use of force 
justified by its 
 alledged   authority
            is totally illegitimate 

(and poorly spelled out )

 all illegimate authority 
is a  dangerous
            block to the spread
                     of  human freedom 

when noam sez 
question authority
hereally  means it

bottom up

not top down

dads first

states last
-------------------------------------------

but we are interested 
in the force and authority
     of
    rev parties and their states 
 so

lets go to spain .....
