Ronery Questions That Need to Find a New Home


Marx at a IWMA meeting in St. Martin's Hall.

What is the relation of authority to secrecy? How is secrecy inherently social (crowd, masses, mob, labor, activity, organization)? And from that elephantitis-term my brain explodes in jest as to the impossible beginnings of this ridiculous dissertation topic.

Sigh. Lenin knew very well where he was going when he was put into that sealed car on his secret passage from Switzerland through Germany back to Russia (with the support of the German emperor). I need an itinerary. To quote Virilio, "The masses are not a population, a society, but the multitude of passersby" (Speed and Politics 29). Given that this has been a best birthday with the acquisition of many golden shoes, there is no excuse for slowing down. So... these questions are up for adoption; anyone able to give them a new home please let me know.
