RE: EJ and the Political "Chessgame"

["Thomas Friese" <tfriese@intergate.bc.ca>]

Whoa! Does one need to join you in the same altered state to play the game?
By the way, I suggest that such an allusion is in fact evidence for a
non-anarchic nature ... an anarch would likely not reveal this to the world,
regardless of the real value or harmlessness of the practice. Why take any
chances when you never know who is listening or how society may change?
Better not to pronounce oneself publicly in such matters. That said, I guess
it is to Junger's credit that he can write a whole book on truly extreme
experiences without becoming known as a fringe "druggie" - unlike some other
modern writer/explorers of these realms.

But please, now that you are presumably in our everyday world, can you
redefine the game and its parameters. I like the idea. Then we can play ...

So, finally, keeping a secret "math", drawing circles, we have touch
the nerve: the Anarch and the bourgeoise. Well, this is a dialogue
with great posibilities... But, in first place, I think it would be fine to
place game´s board - or as Eumeswill Domo said: "first the board,
then the game". We should build the enclosing frame, the lines,
the squares, and finally the colours. Here it is the wood:

Who is the bourgeoise? Historically? Can we describe "the
borgoise" in this "strange days"? How? Which caracteristics?
Are they enough and suficient to indetify him?
Which is the place of the bourgeoise in Der Arbeiter universe? Put
different, who is the bourgeoise in the global view?
Which is the relationship between the Anarch and the bourgoise?
Are they the very same person? If not, which are the differences?
 Is it the Anarch a waldwanger hidden in the city? To say different
is it the anarch a "chama-leon" camouflaged with grew "city
colours"?.Hidden in the dense foliage of numbers of Der Arbeiter
State, hidden in the "jungle-city"?.


These and other questions  arise. We will try to respond them.
That will be imposible. We cannot win the game. Finally, this is
onle another disguise of the eternal knot: Fate and Liberty.
But, I think we should feel obligued to build the board, and then,
play the game. Do another thing, could be a dishonour to our
Patres, our dead ones.
Here is my first movemente, P4K:

"A non-bourgeoise society only can be mainteined by Terror,
and only a couple of years, after this time everybody is tired of it;
without taking in count that wokers chiefs, in the meanwhile, have
become new bourgeoises".

                                                             Oswald Spengler


Sorry for this crazy idea of a chessgame. But, at the same I was
writing this I also was making an THC "annaherung". So this is the
burlesque result:-)
