A is for Anarchy

Today I was reading the situationistical writer R. Vaneigem and it made me smile. When he talked about throwing over society as we know it he recalled the Pavlov experiment. Pavlov is the founding father of classical conditioning. He did his expirements with dogs and he drilled them by him so then he could boss them around easilier. So Vaneigem says: "The dogs in Pavlov's laboratory had been conditioned for hundreds of hours. They were fully trained and domesticated. Then there was a flood in the basement. And you know what happened? They forgot all of their training in the blink of an eye. We should be able to do at least that well. I am staking my life on it, and it is toward this end that I devote my work."

Anarchy is becoming sexy again thanks to the succes of the already infamous movie: V for Vendetta. This film is getting positive reviews from the critics and is opening the debate for the broad public about anarchy as a way of life. Anyway an ad hoc group of anarchists in New York City have launched a website A for Anarchy. So pretty please be informed and check it out.

And for those who didn't have enough: here is the band.






V for Vendetta - math-rock is not a four letter word
