"...in your living room, you're scared shitless. And that's just where the power structure wants you. In the middle of a riot, I've never found anybody who's chickenshit. The way to eliminate fear is to do what you're most afraid of."
– Jerry Rubin
"The abscess on the sick body of the nation must be cut open and squeezed until clear, red blood flows. And the blood must be left to flow for a good, long time till the body is purified..."
– Capt. Gerhard Rossbach, Berlin S.A.
"This dream of absolute, universal equality is amazing, terrifying, and inhuman. And the moment it captures people's minds, the result is mountains of corpses and rivers of blood..."
– Vladimir Bukovsky
"What is 'legal'? Legal is anything that the System does. Legal is whatever the System allows to happen. Illegal is whatever the System does not allow others, outside the Clone System, to do... The System is legal. Therefore, 'legal' is simply the System."
– Edwin Reynolds
I can't think of a more stark example of the way things have turned around just within the past twenty years in this country than something uttered by Gus Hall in 1961. He said, "I dream of the hour when the last Congressman is strangled to death on the guts of the last preacher." The Right Wing went crazy over that one and used it as part of their "heavy ammunition" against the Communist Party.
Well old Gus has shelved that rather embarrassing statement. Not because he is getting soft in his old age– hardly– but rather because it about as out-dated as high-button shoes. In those days he may have had some basis for a statement like that because Conservatism, and the former concept of " America " as it was known, was making its last stand against the total subversion that today holds all the seats of open power.
Today's Congressmen and preachers are truly among Gus Hall's best troop. Why, he wouldn't want to harm a hair on their heads. Gus and his buddies have it all. The Congress and the Clergy are two arms on the body of Big Brother. Conservatism lost while the forces that Gus Hall was running with won out. And now the shoe is on the other foot.
Masters of subtlety, they've everything except signs posted on the walls to the effect that Big Brother rules completely. But our Movement has no corner on prophets. The words of Gus Hall too will ring true yet in the United States. But they will do so in such a manner, with such an ironic twist that he and all his "fellow travelers" will choke on them!
[Vol. IX, #7 – Nov., 1980]
