I am not a Marxist. Though I understand a Marxist understanding of History helps understand the Present. The Present is not made up of random events which we must randomly react to and criticise ("problem, reaction = solution"), but an evolving Now which is where we are and a direct result of where we have been.
I am no "fellow stooge" of the poster whose name bears the title of the first Amon Düül II album I ever owned.

However I do make a "hands across the wall" nod to their taste in Krautrock and their rather astute observations and understandings of the World we all live in. And their ability to write knowledgably and in a brief and clearly expressed manner about it.
I'm afraid I just don't swallow the brown stuff that some people try to feed me. I'm afraid I don't reach for an umbrella when someone pisses down my back and tells me it's raining.
