better red than post-modern

"the presence of a boundary or measure implies the possibility of exceeding it. the consideration of this leads to a dialectical conception of the finite according to which it may be understood only as the unity of its own being and its own nonbeing, as the mutual transition of one into the other."
-entry on the finite in The Great Soviet Encyclopedia

so...that's why communism fell...it was a sort of proto-post-modernism that ignored objective fact...concetrating on defining things by what they aren't and allowing that negative to subsume the reality of what is...the death of the real...and so the death of itself....an object lesson and no mistake....post -modernism is mindless crap engendered by those who want to deny personal responsibillity in events in their own lives...it isn't real so it doesn't matter...people have been trying to dodge that bullet for a long time..."shit happens"..."god's will"...all a deferral of facing up to what they are...which isn't an easy thing to do...you always find some facet of yourself that you really don't like but don't know how to change...sometimes denial is the best defense, but it leaves us vulnerable to being blindsided by characteristics that we repress but other see all too clearly.."what happened?" crops up alot...so tell me the truth about me as you see it...i reserve the right to dispute your interpretation, but i'll take your thoughts into consideration ( just don't expect any fundamental changes) it is, after all, your world.
