The contradictions thrown up by capitalism have become so glaringly obvious that they can blot out the horizon, fog the landscape, occlude the moon.
What we need now is a plain, ergonomic tool that can be used by anyone to understand the workings of histories and societies. A simple use for such a tool would be the production of slogans. Au pouvoir l'imagination*, seems an apt example. But it would have many other uses and become the Swiss army knife of revolutionaries.
Engineering such a device might start by drawing up various schemata. I came across a recent example of one these at UbuWeb Written by Henry Flynt, it can be found at: http://goo.gl/2geRv
* The original as I recall it was au pouvoir l'imaginaire. My Petit Larousse has under imaginaire : Qui n'existe que dans l'imagination: chimérique. Someone might explain this to me.
