So why didn't you say that to other users? Why am I different?

The power to silence other comrades and prevent them carrying socialist activity has gone to your head. You are not like a comrade, you ar like a fucking robot. An automated answering machine.

http://realitiesofknowing.blogspot.co.uk/2009/07/georges-batailles-literature-and-evil.htmlJust recalling George Bataille's 'Literature and evil' it begins, IIRC, that literature requires a shared understanding of evil: of the things expelled and repudiatd by society. For example

Quote:

The lesson of Wuthering Heights, of Greek tragedy and, ultimately, of all religions, is that there is an instinctive tendency towards divine intoxication which the rational world of calculation cannot bear. This tendency is the opposite of Good. Good is based on common interest which entails consideration of the future.

  In his otehr writings he drew on the notion of orthodox, which is the productive part of the society, the necessary labour, as it were, and the heterodox, the useless, thus divine and profane, so poetry, art, dancing, etc. which whilst 'necessary' to sustain the social order, are not directly productive.
