Under The Rule Of A

To Live One's Love And Hatred, To Live That Which One Is Means Defeat, Resignation, And Death. The Crimes Of Society, The Hell That Man Has Made Or Man Become Unconquerable Cosmic Forces.

This Society Turns Everything It Touches Into A Potential Source Of Progress And Exploitation, Of Drudgery And Satisfaction, Of Freedom And Of Oppression.

The Neo-conservative Critics Of Leftist Critics Of Mass Culture Ridicule The Protest Against Bach As Background Music In The Kitchen, Against Plato And Hegel, Shelley And Baudelaire, Marx And Freud In The Drugstore. Instead, They Insist On Recognition Of The Fact That The Classics Have Left The Mausoleum And Come To Life Again, That People Are Just So Much More Educated. True, But Coming To Life As Classics, They Come To Life As Other Than Themselves; They Are Deprived Of Their Antagonistic Force, Of The Estrangement Which Was The Very Dimension Of Their Truth.

Reason ... Contradicts The Established Order Of Men And Things On Behalf Of Existing Societal Forces That Reveal The Irrational Character Of This Order For "rational" Is A Mode Of Thought And Action Which Is Geared To Reduce Ignorance, Destruction, Brutality, And Oppression.

Liberating Tolerance, Then, Would Mean Intolerance Against Movements From The Right, And Toleration Of Movements From The Left.
