A Stalinist prays for third world liberal-tolerant intellectuals:
We practice solipsism and call it cosmopolitanism.
We’re enjoying leftist pornographic parlance and call it political correctness.
We celebrate reactionary politics and call it counter-culture.
By rioting and slacking and culture-jamming and being punk (all in vain), we are only narcissistically amused by false ideas of doing serious blow to the Party nomenklatura and call it anarchism.
We’re totally rejecting enlightenment and progress and call it multiculturalism.
We are only too incapable to employ class analysis, organize workers, thus wage a full-scale class war and call it cultural studies.
We have been totally out of touch with reality due to our enormous wealth that we only pretend to share with the less fortunate and call it liberalism.
—A friend's parody of Billy Graham’s prayer. It reminds me of Julio and Tenoch from Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN (Alfonso Cuaron, 2001)
