An Inquiry Into the Cause and Nature of Erisian Leftism |
Lefism; a topic which is sure to arouse the utmost political
fervor whenever heard. Huge debate arises, confusion follows, and almost always,
someone gets accused of being a 'commie', while the response to the insulter is
just as enraging, a 'capitalist fatcat'. But this inquiry looks into a different
Leftism, the nature of which is unknown to virtually all the world, as it was only
formed only recently, in protest to the ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, and overall
intolerable behavior of our 'Big Brother', Uncle Sam. This 'new Leftism' or 'Erisian
Leftism', so named after Eris, Goddess of Chaos, Discord, Strife and Confusion, is
formed of political radicals attending Monta Vista High School, is fighting on to
preserve individualism, free-thinking, resistance to authority, and honesty, as well
as upholding a moral standard that few would deem to be anacceptable. The morals
are simple: no acting like Big Brother, no alcohol/tobacco/drugs, and no acts which
would violate the basic human rights. Some Erisian Leftists may be members of the
Discordian disorganization of the El Kabong Kabal, of which further description can
be found in the Leftist Manifesto. The goal of the Leftist Movement at Monta Vista,
or LMMV, is to make the masses realize that they are merely 'sheep in the flock',
'cabbages', and cogs of the American Corporate Machine. Erisian Leftists do not
believe in Communism as it is practiced. The movement is called Leftism because it
provides an open expression of it's non-conformist ideals, Leftism being that we
oppose the Right Wing politics, but also because leftists wish to retain their individuality.
In doing so, they give some indication by their manner of dress, appearance, or opinions
that they belong to the LMMV, such as a pulling up of the left sleeve of a long sleeve
shirt up to elbow height, some kitchen utensil inserted into one's sunglasses on
the left side, a deliberate miss spillink uf weirds, or generally making one's appearance
such that he/she is obviously going against the norms of society. Erisian Leftists
are sympathetic to many radical activist groups and counter culture individualists,
such as they approve of the movement to give Mumia A. J. a fair trial, and they respect
people known as Goths, but there are disagreements with them over certain practices.
Erisian Leftists are planning to change Monta Vista High School, and later, the US
public, for the better. Recently, one of the key leftist co-founders, who shall
be labeled El Grande Leftismo, was elected to be Vice President of the Class of 2000,
of which nearly all Leftists are a part. Change is gonna come! Hail Eris! More text will be added as the ideas occur and are submitted to myself. Rev Gary Parks |
