I agree.  It's weird how the eyes roll and the feathers get ruffled when
you mention those dirty words 'Marx' and 'Socialism'.  Some of the
messages in this thread give me the impression that one or two people
would like to censor out any leftist commentary.  Why, I wonder?

Frankly I could use a bit of Deleuze being slapped down as he's all too
often being used as a smokescreen to hide a lack of imagination.

At the risk of provoking further protest, Richard Barrett and I started
a bulletin board dedicated to exploring the activism potential of
non-commercial composition and music-making.  If anyone is interested in
such a thing they can see the opening invitation to participate here:

All the best,
