Another thing. Psychedelic Bolshevism? Really? Reeeeaally? Why not just call it Grandad Bolshevism? Or Swinging Sixties Bolshevism? Or, I dunno, So So Tired Yet Still Straining for the Appearance of Enfant Terrible Mutiny Bolshevism?

Behold the author of the Thesis Of Austerity,
It is clear we have become some what soft and complacent in our approach to propaganda we have refrained increasingly from open letters and tried to be approachable but clearly you didn’t get the memo.
We suppressed the urge to use a thessaures to exstenuanise our vocabulary to make it at least half as jargonistic as your self-fellating blog…..
LENIN’s TOMB
Please allow us throughout the course of this article to intersperse our own dribble with serious suggestions of alternative names for your blog.
For example;
-Kautsky’s Krypt
– Distorting Gramsci
– Dinner Party Outrage
– Listen to me i’ve studied
– Democratic Seymourism
Having said that we do wish we were replying to someone with at least the slightest amount of charisma or creativity. Bouncing ideas off you is like bouncing balls into a bucket of piss, there’s some splash back but normally you just end up having to plunge your arm into the piss-filled bucket to retrieve the ball.
One of the things we most admire about you is your ability to not let material factors and subjective experience of other activists be a barrier to your ideology. Your divorced and distant approach to the grass roots in your vicinity never mind further a field makes you ideal to become the next Amy Leather, if a little niftier on the old twitter account.
We do have to ponder whether it’s your fluroscent and ever expanding ego that drew you to write your own biography on amazon or whether this is just a product of developing neo-liberal ideology, either way this brings us nicely to some suggestions for your blog;
A bureaucratic solution to a personallity complex
-come for the kink, stay for the eurocommunism
– making bullying boring
– sectarianism without the sect
– How to upset freshers and alienate yourself
– poulzantas’s pantry
– drinking in privacy, a guide to where i can drink but you can’t
– using social media to overcompensate for your insecurities
– sucking off monotony

Richard it’s okay you can wait for your milk to cool so you don’t burn your lips , that’s it , good , we’re not going to run away there’s plenty of time for you to direct petty remarks at us, using the word petty reminds me of a man who we encounter regularly in Sheffield on strike days and early morning political on-goings who wanders around and carries a photocopied piece of paper containing a petit filous advertisement, I wish i was replying to him and not you. But now I’m getting side tracked , though it’s easy to get side track when the subject of response is you (man puts muffins down his pants and later drumming is heard) . Not to milk the “you are very boring angle” but there is alot of milk within that angle , so expect more yet !
Ok , so let’s get down to the serious stuff! on a scale of pathetic to creepy how much do you adore, idolise and yearn for Sebastian Budgen (who shared one of our posts which we think some one got a little jealous about)…
Okay so i lied that wasn’t the serious part, look at us so unprofessional putting some kind of humor with politics (we won’t send the dancing ducks to your apartment)
O fucking hell i’ve just heard some one make a reference to their “Man flu”, what a fucking ridiculous thing to do, gendering flu to cover the muscle bound hunks who can’t stand to admit that they feel vulnerable so have to make out that what their experiencing is much worse than when a woman experiences the flu,but i’m going off the topic again but here’s a comparison i feel a similar frustration when i read you intervening on any facebook conversation, especially the ones where you bully younger people who may be less popular than you (dig those muscles in Richard, looking mighty fine)
“We thought about keeping the band together”, I if I was in a band with you Richard I wouldn’t think about keeping it together instead i’d want it to split up probably before we’d even rehearsed to be honest.
– karl’s catacomb
– hypocrisy corner
-democratic race chair
– meek man boost ego
– one step seymour, one step back
-first as facial hair, then as farce
– althuser’s outhouse
Slim:
Yes, let’s get bang up to date and become fans of Marxism Today and The Smiths. The 80s were much more inspiring, I find.
-gramsci’s grave
– Token gesture to femminst struggle
– making a career out of talking left(ish) and doing nothing
– The meaning of Richard Seymour
-requesting respect
– brezhnev’s basement
-organic intellectual gone off
Run out of breakfast;
It’s funny how straights like Seymour look at drugs and music and can only see fashion. I think it must be because, vying for political “authority”, they cannot take their own feelings/experiences seriously. If the PBs are “reviving” anything I’d like to know exactly what. Oh yeah, Hegel and Freud went out with the ark, so let’s get into … POULANTZAS???
reciter of 80s cult-studs truisms too tedious to list
– pick a topic so boring that only you write about it, so you can get published
– bevin’s bunker
– i’ve written books you know
– Using social media to overcompensate for your insecurities
– The ISO faction? what iso faction?
– oo dear
Wannabe Luxemburgian says;
Just saying “that’s OLD, we need NEW” has just become a substitute for actually having new ideas.,…. Just pointing out it was conceived in the past is useless and ultimately irrelevant.
– courting the state
– Adorno’s atrium
– Lying to the membership: does and don’ts
– Regrettable moustaches
Oh for fuck sake, we forgot about this. So boring is your notion of marxism, political activism and authorship(-ness) that just the thought of you and responding to you lulls us into a deep yet restless sleep plagued by concentric circles with an overwhelming but unexplained sense of boredom.
We have to ask ourselves, and by extension you, whether liquid boredom flows from you. Do you perspire it? if you stay in one place for several hours, say asleep in your bed, do you wake up caked in viscous, sticky, musky boringness? Could you collect it in a bottle and sell it on your blog?
Not seen you in the guardian lately.
Where do you derive such mechanistic marxism from, the rhythmic motions of masturbation with all feeling taken out, and yet you expect orgasm or it to at least feel good. Expecting the masses, workers and intellectuals to accumulate beneath you; vying for your drip down social capital, as the apparatus, dead capital and living labour gradually more towards you, succumb by your charm.
