Can you imagine, just for a moment, if the leisure time afforded to us by capitalism ceased to be? That we couldn't divert our attention and money to leisure anymore, but could only think about production and survival?
This could happen in several ways:
But if the first two, what would we do with an educated and stupid clown and a ball that goes through a hoop ten foot high, arbitrarily placed? We'd probably laugh. Or do what primitive cultures did and kill the losers of the game.
How stupid would all these guys and rock stars feel if the systems they truly agitated for existed? Nobody would care, or they would be men of the state, serving ideology rather than sport or art.
As I get older, I almost wish for it. Just to see the ingrates. #### 'em.
This could happen in several ways:
- Nuclear war
- Destruction of the earth through natural causes, like a meteor or climate change
- Communism or fascism taking root in America, with all emphases on the state and production and radically egalitarian survival for the good of the state
