Don't Talk to Sociologists...

Lyrics

Don’t listen to sociologists; don't talk to sociologists. Social practice has no sociological content. Consider its history; because of its historical role within bourgeois ideology — the ideology of the ruling class, it can’t provide anyone with an analysis or even a picture of our conditions of exploitation.

This is not a piece of weird and obvious logic, bar-room logic, not oafish opinion based on the precept that a practice is, without mediation, either inside or outside … some practices are because of their history, historically irredeemable.

Don’t unite artists and don’t talk to them. If you or they are made to think that there’s a 'rational core' in that talk or unity in support of the view that 'society' is maintained harmoniously — rather than by exploitation and force: violence
