Learn something. There will be a test.

Wat Tyler and John Ball used this idiom:


The legacy of Florian Geyer figures prominently in German socialism:

The Peasant War in Germany https://a.co/d/etMKwj0

Communism in Central Europe in the Time of the Reformation (Classic Reprint) https://a.co/d/3tvghwp

Song from that moment, used with great effect in the great San Francisco Guild Strike:

Kautsky, however, Germanized these fighters, when they were Slavic.

Great work by a comrade of Our Finest Comrade:

Never Forget Her:

Geyer is the ultimate proof of the difficult truth about socialism and fascism. He inspired the Communists but a hideous SS unit was named for him. They committed ghastly atrocities in then-occupied Yugoslavia.

You can research that. I don't post fascist links.

I do post this:

Free your mind!
Make Literotica a Liberated Zone!

I'll be happy to learn something. There's more to Life than ducking minions of guys named Richard II.


Keep doing what you're doing, please.


e/t/a: ordered both books.

You're welcome.


Change is our only constant, and I'm just humble enough to recognize that I am better for continuing to explore.
True. It's good that you're alive. We need a real Left in this country and the world. You have the great honor of teaching the young.

At this stage, I spend more time working with the broken. One person at a time. And it helps me not to spend inordinate time thinking about me.

You know what you need. Much respect. If you ever need anything, I'm here.

Really, we're here.

P.S. Reich? Laing? Foucault?

I do. I was shown where to start and was given some examples and some directions. Truly, it's an inside job.


Likewise. It's good to make new friends on the path.


More after I've gotten this pot of coffee in me.
 
Check this out. Hit ENG subtitles. Interested in your react.



Yeah, I'll watch it. I took Spanish in school and was taught "Castillian" where what I really needed to learn was Barrio Mexican, but so much of school was like that. Anyway . . . . We got the civil war thing from Lorca's disappearance, and frankly, I wasn't curious enough about it to research it any, Lorca or the war. Fortunately, Lorca's poetry was easy to analyze, or at least what was assigned to us was, and that got me through class.


I had an idea for a paper about Bodas de Sangre once, and it got shot to pieces in front of the whole class. Fucking creativity killing horse shit if you ask me.


And the whole Fascist versus Communist training ground for WW2. Materials, tactics, and equipment. I did get to go to a Picasso exhibit once and they had on display several of his trial mock-ups for The Destruction of Guernica. I found those fascinating. There was a similar theme painting set in Korea, IIRC. But it had already been done better, earlier, by him.
 
There is a lot of fog surrounding the murder of García Lorca.

It was long claimed that he was killed for being leftist. But this is uncertain. He hung with leftists but his lover Salvador Dalí sided with Franco, much to the outrage of the Paris Surrealists. Dalí painting attached.

It is also theorized he was killed for being gay.

I and some others believe FGL was killed for one poem:
https://www.poesi.as/index214uk.htm

On a personal note, the American poet Robert Creeley published a poem titled AFTER LORCA:


I knew Creeley and liked him, but i suspect this entire matter is faked.

(There is a considerable difference between serious literary analysis of fakery and hurling demented accusations based on "vibes," such as we saw recently on Lit.)

The original Creeley poem had an intro. It was published by own father.

Otherwise, scholars like me reject the WW2- training theory of the Spanish war. We see that as an effort to suppress knowledge of the social revolutionary aspect of the conflict.

Picasso's later painting is titled MASSACRES IN KOREA.

As many worthwhile connections as can be made on Lit (and I've been here since very early on), there are many times more useless/worthless ones. You have got me wondering about this period, something I haven't considered in many years. I'm trying to remember who is was I read who had gone to fight there. As I recall, it had a Deat of Idealism tone about it.


The city, free from fear,
multiplied its doors.
Forty civil guards
enter them to plunder.
The clocks came to a halt,
and the cognac in the bottles
disguised itself as November
so as not to raise suspicion.




I forgot also how much horses figured into Lorca. The US was mechanized and Europe less so. The people still used horses mostly, I suppose. I knew squat about horses when I was a kid and only formed my first horse bond starting in 2020. He was the alpha - alpha critters like me. He chumped me early on, but he had a sick spell a few weeks later and I spent time with him out of a feeling that he shouldn't be alone. He noticed and we became friends, his doings. It's very weird when you're out in the barn surveying the next batch of stuff that needs to be done and 1300 pounds walks silently up behind you and puts his huge head over your shoulder as if to ask, "what's up, Human?" We formed a very tight bond, again largely his doing but I was willing to go there, too. He died last July 17th, basically of old age. I don't think that a day goes by complete that I don't think of him.
 
Fascinating.

Your horse died on 17 July 2023. The anniversary of the Spanish military uprising.

To Margot Heinemann
by Rupert John Cornford

Heart of the heartless world,
Dear heart, the thought of you
Is the pain at my side,
The shadow that chills my view.

The wind rises in the evening,
Reminds that autumn's near.
I am afraid to lose you,
I am afraid of my fear.

On the last mile to Huesca,
The last fence for our pride,
Think so kindly, dear, that I
Sense you at my side.

And if bad luck should lay my strength
Into the shallow grave,
Remember all the good you can;
Don't forget my love.

Yep. I had no idea about horses. He taught me, which just goes to show that the learning never stops for the open-minded.
 
May i ask you some questions about Lit?

( . )( . )


Yes, but I am forced to warn you in advance: I am so not one of the Kewl Kidz.


Or Kool Aid kids, either.


My statements may be colored with a wee touch of opinion . . . and some sarcasm, too.


;)



e/t/a: if you'd rather do it by private message, I understand.
