Genocide is No More than Murder
by the Editors
Waiting for the inevitable victory of the victors, back every
evening to win again, imagine, then, the life of one human
being, this, indeed, is all there ever is or ever has been, one
individual, moist, soft, listening, watching, responding. When
we talk about progress, about history, about power, about
resources, hazards, of wars, diseases, or famines, we are
talking about this one individual, what he is doing in the
decisive moment, how she makes her decisions, how he dies,
overtaken by disease, or bleeding, of cold or fire. One man
dies. This is the meaning of extinction, or genocide,
starvation. One man breathes his last. All else, the rhetoric of
the Masses, of Society, of Generations, of Hegemony, of
Culture, of all these capitalized idols, never witnessed but
always spoken, all else is the babble of cowards, hypnotists
who despise this individual and would abolish him.
