Wallerstein is great because he throws something like this out and it suddenly all makes sense.
To what extent are the failures and crises of today's capitalism a result of the slowdown of technical progress, the fear that this universal code can no longer hold the seams together?

A 'people' (i.e. people's theatre) of this kind is not an assemblage of social groups and identities. It is a polemical form of Subjectification that is drawn along particular lines of fracture, where the distribution of leaders and led, learned and ignorant, possessors and dispossessed, is decided.

My favourite album of last year, this song in particular is "raw" in its open discussion of struggle both personal and anti-structucal

Reading this section I can't help but think of the (obviously false) rhetoric that surrounds figures like Thatcher or Trump. The intoxicating need for a figure to step out of the darkness and bring change as they will, the need for an anti-historical figure.

I'm a big film fan, and when Gwyneth Paltrow steps off that bus in The Royal Tenenbaums, it gives me a high everytime. The epitome of bittersweet love. Self conscious and brutal.

When I was at my lowest, this song pushed me lower. It's basically the ideally depressing song for an overly self-serious undergrad.

The first song I remember properly listening to. CD in the car that was played over and over again. I was, perhaps as a way of foretelling my nostalgia to earlier worlds in time, disappointed to learn it wasn't from the 80s.

Hearing it live, hearing it for the first time, important moments in my constant search for understanding what coolness is. To blame if I ever pick up smoking as a habit.

A song which moves into the critique of the failures of regressional antiformist movements. The failures of today's world transposed backwards leave a bitter taste of something missing either way.
