We will see if the epigraph of IV actually leads to the Situationist 
International.  If it does, it also leads to Dada and 
counter-cultural activity in the arts as basically healing and cleansing.
Now the list seems to only know of the Sixties in terms of Beatles 
and Stones. Consider the similarities to the dada period -- youth 
against war and energized into new art forms often in a kind of 
combat against the audience. We can expect those of an authoritarian 
stripe to leave in disgust. No loss.

Zurich sometime in 1915 or so.  Lenin to the dadaist Huelsenbeck:
" . . . I don't know how radical you are or how radical I am. I am 
certainly not radical enough; that is, one must always try to be as 
radical as reality itself . . ."

Breton wrote: "A monstrous aberration makes people believe that 
language was born to facilitate their natural relations."
