the terrible liberty to begin the world anew…..http://www.bigbonton.org/Prise_de_la_Bastille.jpg

bastille day approaches regretably 'round here at least
it approaches on cat's paws

if there's a single event one could say announced ” a next world is here “

surely this oughta be it

  the great double domer gwf hegel— it is alledged —- yes “mr world historical” himself

celebrated bastille day long after his youthful romantic fires had banked .

lesson:

the mere fact that a state exists and has continued to exist even for centuries

does not make it  “rational” and if its not rational… if it weighs like chains apon

“the new passions “of the people???

well “…it has to be annihilated….it is annihilated”

ahh but then dear hearts comes the terror. eh ???

…starting from scratch leads to what ??

all that ..blood ..blood will flow blood on the hands of the new “regime”…..the blood of the lambs

we're of course as chou en lai famously suggested “too close to tell ” the full impact of that historical cataract known to termites and kings alike as the great revolution …except to say ..it was big

  the fall of the french 'ancient regime 'sounded an irreversible transformation of human society and by that an irreversible transformation of society's essential product….us human beings

now to todays poser….

in a comment on contemporary libertarianism a few posts back

i struck at a hero of this here site the miraculous noam chomsky ,

in a sort of off hand slap i suggested he like all progresive libertarians today

is essentially a reactionary liberal

i had hoped to provoke a nasty response but …at any rate i'll try again

j'accuse citizen C — creature of the best in enlightenment humanism—-

himself is a reactinary one soul is worth a zillion souls romantic liberty freak

a beautiful spirit yes but built from a mish mash of anti social glop

some of it as old as henri rouseau

why ?

well precisely because he excludes the only vehicle of social transformation

from his to do list …ie…society itself

nope he has no faith in the progressive role of  any social activity that might erect on the ruins of an old state…god forbid…a ”new state ”

all noam can see coming from this tragic replication of received instincts is a new hierarchy and a new terror

the new state's innovations its retotalizations its rationalizations will soak itself in innocent blood …end of subject

sure the ancient regime to noam is pure bad and he wants it down
but to noam progress is worth zero unless and untill it morphs directly into the new staeless jerusalem itself

as an anti state anti party lone wolf … libertarian,chom chom puts his faith in only one kaba stone

like GODWIN AND THOREAU he worships the reified notion of a spontaneous aggregation of singlularly progressive souls

its not enough to rely on a hive wide spontaneous refusal to maintain the old regime and hence watch it collapse in on itself

something that is indeed the wonder of all wonders

obviously we all await for the next such miracle

no doc chomsky refuse to be a party to any notion
of building anew on the ruins of the old

a new…revolutionary state

he prefers to await for the final dawn after the final state collapse…the advent of a stateless  spontaneous over soul … something that quite obviously is not struggling to be born right here and now

what however IS struggling to be born somewhere in the multichambered womb of planet earth's hyper power plagued present reality

is another ……storming of the bastille
and more sharply another moment of terrible liberty another…chance for a jacobin party of social revolution

a chance for another bloody new state

the one vehicle that can propell us the necessary one stage closer to noam's godless and green earth
