    La crisi consiste appunto nel fatto che il vecchio muore e il nuovo non può nascere: in questo interregno si verificano i fenomeni morbosi piú svariati.

    • Antonio Gramsci

    Now is the time of monstrous acts

      You might think history teaches; it repeats;

      page after page, a poem in perfect rhyme

      tolls echoing bells from both sides of the sheets

      for births and funerals, tells the time

      of ageless Alice, Hamlet’s fallacies—

      the latest light from vanished galaxies.

        As Antonio Gramsci would put from his prison cell while wondering why Italy became Fascist without people putting up a fight.

        History teaches, but it has no pupils

        We fell to the same thing, we let the wealthy define our culture. Our culture is now that of being cruel and taking. And people wish to be popular and wealthy more than moral or right. So we shift towards their world and act like them, till we have the cruelty in our own hearts.

        Well alas we’ve seen it all before

        Knights in armor, days of yore

        The same old fears and the same old crimes

        We haven’t changed since ancient times
