lyrics

July
1917: Women are granted the right to vote and hold office. Spontaneous protests against the Provisional Government; after the Bolsheviks unsuccessfully try to direct these protests into a coup, Lenin is forced into hiding. Alexander Kerensky becomes Prime Minister of the Provisional Government.

What understanding of this world
would imply its transformation?
They say: we are overcoming the crisis
They say: elect, elect, elect
your favorite candidate.

Bukharin 1915:
"The state had to be destroyed as a condition of socialism.
Unless it is destroyed, society would be reduced to a servile,
atomised mass under the heel of the new barons of finance capital."

1 of 5 children in Germany grow in poverty
Democracy today is cheap
like a Facebook like
1 of 4 children in Spain grow in poverty
Loot the Looters

Elect, elect, elect
your favorite candidate

While we get
Another like

Elect, elect, elect
your favorite candidate

I like the way I look
I like the way you look
You make me feel so good
that I forget about us
Give me your creative soul,
in the hope that the transcendental
will become empirical
and reality will transform
through our imagination,
keeping away the bad vibes
do whatever you can
to feel as if the problem
is not with you

Elect elect elect
your favorite candidate
Elect elect elect
your favorite candidate
Elect elect elect

The Constituent Assembly elections were held in Venezuela on the 30th July to elect the members of the 2017
Constituent National Assembly.

“With Julius, he was based in repetition, but here was a spirit of openness and improvisation. His scores, if they were written out that way, were often like jazz scores. He loved multiplying instruments – four pianos, ten cellos – so there was a real feeling of the presence of the instrument, not just using an instrument in some kind of equation, as a means to an end.” ~ Mary Jane Leach Enough said. pt
