	Revolt an immense force of protest against the modern world
	and all its works, blending passion, mystery, and the primeval."

	speech with which he recaptured power, "was provoked by a

	society, against technological society, whether communist in
	the East or capitalist in the Westgroups, moreover, which do not
	know what they would put in its place, but which delight in
	negation." "The Beginning of an Epoch," proclaimed the lead
	article in the twelfth and last number of the journal
	Internationale situationniste in 1969. "The death rattle of the
	historical irrelevants," said Zbigniew Brzezinski.
