Some things it makes little sense to buy on vinyl, esp. music released in the CD-only era. Do you really want an unwieldy double vinyl of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, with odd-length sides, and side breaks that make no sense?

The final confrontation, when it does come about, will of course include the liberal on the side of the oppressor. Therefore if the oppressed really wants a revolutionary change, he has no choice but to rid himself of those liberals in his rank.

So whether the liberal likes it or not, he finds himself being lumped, by the oppressed, with the oppressor — of course he is part of that group.

and begins to think that the liberal has been sent to the oppressed to misdirect their struggle, to keep them confused so that the oppressor can continue to rule them.

Because of the above reasons, because the liberal is incapable of bringing about the human idealism which he preaches, what usually happens is that the oppressed whom he has been talking to finally becomes totally disgusted with the liberal,

What the liberal has to do is to fight for power, to go for the political state and then, once the liberal has done this, he will be able to ensure the type of human idealism in the society that he always talks about.

And so if one really wants a state where human idealism is a reality, one has to be able to control the political state.

One cannot talk about human idealism in a society that is run by fascists. If one wants a society that is in fact humanistic, one has to ensure that the political entity, the political state, is one that will allow humanism.

and he enjoys this power by always cautioning, condemning, or certainly trying to direct and lead the movements of the oppressed.

To keep the oppressed from discovering his pitfalls the liberal talks about humanism. He talks about individual freedom, about individual relationships.

He never says to the oppressor, “You are too extreme in your treatment of the oppressed,” because he is powerless among the oppressors, even if he is part of that group; but he has influence, or, at least, he is more powerful than the oppressed,

He says to the oppressed, time and time again, “You don’t need guns, you are moving too fast, you are too radical, you are too extreme.”

While the liberal is part of the oppressor, he is the most powerless segment within that group. Therefore when he seeks to talk about change, he always confronts the oppressed rather than the oppressor. He does not seek to influence the oppressor, he seeks to influence the oppressed.

"Of course you've got to compare this to the historical data of Wednesday drops vs. Thursday drops--Gonzales, Moon, and what have you--but it's really all about Friday and the floating target of turnout-by-age," I say confidently to my wife, repeating shit from Bluesky that I barely understand.
