Preface:
As a common complaint about books like Das Kapital is their length and ensuing inaccessibility, we have decided to publish a book which avoids these problems completely. We hence present the first volume of this highly abridged work. This shall hopefully encourage readers unwilling to explore more 'obscure' books too much. In this book, we seek to convey clearly what the reader is to get from each chapter. Further, this is expressed in clear terms.
Hopefully you shall enjoy this. It is an exciting pathway for literature, and it should not disappoint you.
I applaud this new book!!
ReplyDeleteIs that really a common complaint? I guess you also see complaints about people who are too radical, bcoz they might give a bad idea of the movement. It's their politics man. Who made these people arbiter of style/politics.
ReplyDeleteThe Wiccan Triple Goddess? That seems like the kind of thing such liberals would worship.
DeleteI have noticed similar tendencies among the right, however the 'far-right' was generally more demonised by capitalism. As such, if they were too stringent about 'seeming affable,' they would essentially be giving up immediately. The 'left' is mostly liberalism, so it can always hide behind that. Among other reasons, the aim is perhaps that if the radical message has to be reduced to the terms favoured by the system, then it can also shed its radicalism. I'd consider terms like 'far-right' a misnomer, anyway. The whole liberal 'political compass' is askew.
Ultimately, a person whose politics are actually about change and divergence from the world, will never try to let it drift into the hands of the world as if at ease. Their form will derive from their content. It will probably be 'inaccessible,' because what is 'accessible' and what people are trained to consider is quite opposed. As content modifies form, it can easily be 'inaccessible,' because it wanders on its own way. A thing is generally 'inaccessible' to some, not to all. Most things are 'inaccessible' to many. Only those without any content will throw their form around to be moulded as pleases any others, in the name of 'accessibility.' There is nothing serious about it, hence nothing preventing this.
Hence, they are quick to attack people with substantial politics - which is, as we have noted, anathema to a capitalistic world.
I don't think people who are serious about politics will object to things on such a basis. Certainly not strongly. A person's stylistic input is only followed if you agree with them. It is a viewpoint, reflecting several substantial considerations, just as your politics are. If your style is subject to every wind that passes, so should your politics be.
Unexpected...
