Re: Savoir pour Pouvoir



What's the difference what his "IQ" -- a measure of social control-- is?

Was Kennedy any better with his higher grades, his speed reading, his IQ of
.....who know? And who cares?

What about Clinton? Any better with his Rhodes Scholarship?

And what about Kissinger? Less frightening?

The vicious, self-righteous, ignorance is a clear reflection of his class,
the needs of his class.. just as Reagan's belligerent empty-headedness
("Poor dear, it's a shame he's got nothing upstairs," Margaret Thatcher),
Nixon's vindictive pettiness and venality were perfect reflections of class,
and the mechanisms of expropriation.

Stupid? Smart? Iraq? Vietnam?-- Take your pick.

Doesn't make a whole lot of difference does it. Or, as Marx put it, "The
price of beef may be high or low, but it always involves the same sacrifice
for the cattle."
