Rex's Purity

[Terrance]

Rex isn't working for Brock Vond. He's a guilty masochistic latent
homosexual white boy and newly converted (from the christian capitalist
faith to some looney  form of marxist abnegation martyrdom) fanatic.
Although, as Weed says, he never gives anything up, oh the car. Is Rex
tripping when he kills Weed? Probably. 

Rex himself saw the Revolution as a kind of progressive abstinence, in
which you began by giving up acid and pot, then tobacco, alcohol,
sweets--you kept cutting down on sleep, doing with less, you broke up
with lovers, avoided sex, after a while even gave up masterbating--as
the enemy's attention grew more concentrated, you gave up your privacy,
freedom of movement, access to money, with the looming promise always of
jail and the final forms of abstinence from any life at all free of
pain.
