Virilio 3

I like Virilio's assessment of May '68 and the Situationists as the final act of the revolutionary "drama" begun in 1789.

It gives a good foundation for understanding why modern Situationist-style movements seem hopeless and lacking in some key element.

It also gives some degree of explanation with regard to why the tracts/etc. of the '68 era seem so far removed from reality and probability.

And Virilio's emphasis on the technological element is something almost always ignored by these groups.

And so on, and so on.
