_The Evening Post_, 12 Sept 1923:
“A REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE”
In the opinion of Mr. M. J. Savage, M.P., there must be a revolutionary change of Government.… the danger of Labour’s accession to power lay in this… not gradual progress, step by step to a new order of things, but an alteration in outlook and methods so radical that it would defeat its own object, and would bring disaster upon the country.…

Sheffield, England trio Vice Versa release their debut EP, “Vice Versa Music 4”

They’re an experimental electronic group who burst on the scene with this EP, released on their own label, Neutron Records.

In a few months, Vice Versa will be interviewed by Martin Fry for the fanzine Modern Drugs. He’s intrigued by the band and teams up with two of the band members to form a new band called ABC that will have the hits “Poison Arrow” and “The Look of Love” in 1982.

The sound is very minimalist. The synths buzz & drone under random sound effects. A very “post punk” sound kinda like The Normal or Suicide. "Camille" is particularly chilling, a sound collage utilizing samples from a news report on a natural disaster.

#OTD -1973, Salvador Allende, the progressive, democratically elected president of Chile, was deposed in a US-backed coup that installed the right-wing dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Pinochet went on to torture & execute his political opponents by the tens of thousands

Also OTD ofc, 9-11, were 3,000+ innocents were killed to make the political point that america backs, installs and keeps in power brutal dictators in the ME as long as they back our interest. Maybe we should stop doing that

RIP American democracy (not that it ever really existed). Fatally wounded by the supreme court in late 2000, dealt its mercy strike #OTD 2001.

"Seit je hat Aufklärung im umfassendsten Sinn fortschreitenden Denkens das Ziel verfolgt, von den Menschen die Furcht zu nehmen und sie als Herren einzusetzen. Aber die vollends aufgeklärte Erde strahlt im Zeichen triumphalen Unheils.“

#Aufklärung #Adorno #Philosophie

Heute vor 120 Jahren wurde Theodor W. Adorno geboren.

Das Erscheinen des ersten Bandes von #DasKapital von #KarlMarx wurde am 14. September 1867 vom #Börsenblatt gemeldet. Die Auslieferung durch die Druckerei hatte #AnDiesemTag 1867 begonnen, am 17. September trafen die Belegexemplare in London ein. Schon am 18. und 19. September versandte Karl #Marx Widmungsexemplare an enge Freunde, so an Wilhelm Strohn, der den Vertrag mit dem Verleger Otto Meißner über die Veröffentlichung des »Kapitals« vorbereitet hatte. /1 #OTD
