Gross and Conspicuous Error No. 5

Kozlov, Bigelow, Ramsden

Lyrics

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Kozlov: Let's look at the capitalist mode of thought

Bigelow & Ramsden: It is a G&CE to regard language as a classless mode of communication Language belongs to the managers

Kozlov: Capitalist material relations transfix our social relations

Bigelow: Into discrete commodities Our individual particularity gets transfixed into reified minds, or self

Ramsden: This mind attributes psychoproperties to itself A mad attribution often called "believing"

Bigelow & Ramsden: A belief is an approximated correspondence between daft reified mind and the fetishized social reality of commodities

All: Conscious guiding of history

Kozlov: By material change gets mystified because

All: Non-sensuous interpretation insidiously transforms us all into tourists Bus tour contemplators

Ramsden: Not of our own making
