"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Postlude
I am going to be leaving the theme of the Marxists etc. for a while, though I expect it will come up again. It wasn't what I planned when I wrote that post about e.e. cummings rather crazy book, Eimi, which I have looked at more and don't think was either his strongest work or especially useful. Say what you will, it's a can of worms that once opened has to be dealt with. But I've given it enough attention and made enough enemies over it for now. I don't mind those, by the way, I figure it was just the inevitable happening for me as it will have to happen for any "left" that has any chance of doing anything. The play-left has wasted enough of our time and made us too many enemies among those who both need us and who we also need.
