Ginsberg Howl A Counterculture Manifesto
2,093 words... heir intellectual practices are being accused of obscenity. They are in the land where they are labeled as mad, though nobody understands that the whole land is a big flat madhouse.

After being ideologically suppressed during fifties, Marxism was able to reemerge at the beginning ...
