Don't Be Mad and Vocal
/
The Real Revolutionist does not offer serious criticism of the Ruling Power's many institutions and operations, for such judgments imply a belief that such things can be changed when he knows they can’t. They can be blown up, if it comes to that, but not reformed.
Another useful, revolutionary slogan: “Don't be mad and vocal at the same time.”
A couple of thousand years ago, I heard a human comment that “a comprehended god is no longer a god.” Man certainly has come a long way since then. Oh yeah, what was one of the other definitions of “ironic”?
In the City, some of the People mouth the little truism that says, “He is an excellent speaker who convinces himself.” It’s his kind of thought itself that defines “truism.” Hell, that's the ONLY kind of speaker...what else is the point of an ordinary man saying anything.
For those of you with limited time and a desire to peruse biographies, let me give you all of the info necessary to skip right over the early years of EVERYBODY, to wit: (just fill in the appropriate name), “The combined, and single most important factor, and persuasive event in so-and-so’s development, was in being born.”
At least on your birthday I guess it’s all right for you to remember that if everybody could see it and do it, the Few wouldn't want to.
