It's like jumping over the side of the Granma."Precarity is opportunity. Fuck social mobility. Fuck security. Fuck money. Fuck rising above your class rather than with it.

She surely found that in an old fifth-form 'punk' fanzine circa 1979.

"The Occupy movement is throwing cold water on the 30-year mass hallucination of the neoliberal consensus."

That's what you have to do with mass hallucinations: throw cold water on them.
Just like you have to shoot people who are "boat happy".

"30-year mass hallucination of the neoliberal consensus." - who was hallucinating here? Serious point - us or them? We weren't and neither were they.

...Maybe you should do a two-column thing next with 'Very Communism' down the left side (natch) and 'Not so Communism' down the right side.... Maybe....
This used to be a staple of the women's mags - "Hot & Not", "Blinging & Minging" etc.
