Don’t listen to sociologist;
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.
