To undesrstand anything You have to go up on the table.

 

I am not trying to explain it logically. It certainly is useful for me. Perhaps it is a guarantee of being settled in reality? Only private reality is real. Sometimes all that ecapes my control and lives according to its own rules. I certainly have not done it for sake of humanitarianism. (I ave not done anything for its sake, I guess.) I think that it is rather authentic because I am trying to speak for myself only. Sometimes it is easy. It is not enough to understand it - one has to blow off steam. Extremity is necessary. It has nothing to do with politics or fascism. Finally I came to the conclusion that there is no connection with the totalitarian music of Laibach (it is like discovering new areas). I know that the first impression evokes certain associations. As if the tradition of individualism were replaced by social usefulness. The revolt against established values was carried out for the sake of progress, not against it.

 

The table will never make attempts at any social reforms. Such reforms are useless. Liabach's totalitarian music is very romantic. There is a theory that totalitarianism has sources in the Romanticism. Listeners are shareholders and participants. They cannot stay passive.
