Political Interlude

Cultural prophecy from one of the first and best rock critics, Ellen Willis. Willis was a great radical political writer as well: "American conservatives' success in weakening the federal government and starving it of funds will not lead to a dispersal of power to local governments closer to the people; it will merely accelerate the process of consolidating economic power on the transnational level." 

(from Don't Think, Smile!, Boston: Beacon Press, 1999).
