Gross and Conspicuous Error No. 2

Lyrics

It is the task of the pragmatisers, the relativisers, The ultimate interpreters, explainers, And other imposters and official thinkers Of the land of the free To perpetuate and reproduce The psychopathogy of reified self-mind.

Marx's still young but old chestnut That "the philosophers have only interpreted the world, The point is to change it" Is embedded in a nexus of dialectics.

It is a G&CE to see it merely As a gung-ho call to arms. It is rather a statement About the nature of reality. A denial of the separation of Man/woman from revolutionary practice.
