Ian Svenonius is a rock singer (Nation of Ulysses, The Make-Up, Chain and the Gang) turned critic, filmmaker, and now turned Marxist polemicist with his new book Against the Written Word.
We discuss his theory of literacy as a tool of the bourgeoisie and how rock n' roll reeducation camps might be the antidote, and why that might not go far enough for as to completely devolve to our neanderthal origins.
