it's worth repeating how brilliant baudrillards agony of power is.
he is utterly DESPISED by the academic left right now, they've ignored him since the matrix made him unfashionable. they occasionally bring up his name to slag off, but otherwise ignore him.
you can't get a better endorsement than that.
what he says makes marxists and academic posers convinced of the moral righteousness emanating from their own petty cliques very uncomfortable.
it's bleak, and it soothes me.
