I am not too familiar with the goofy Sufi. In a book I have by Bob Black, he says that Bey, an American, journeyed to the east in the 70s and went native in Iran. Something tells me he's not there any longer. Speaking of Bob (What, Me Work?) Black, here is the first of ten of his Theses on Groucho Marxism: Groucho Marxism, the theory of comedic revolution is much more than a blueprint for crass struggle: like a red light in a window, it illuminates humanity's inevitable destiny, the declasse society. G-Marxism is the theory of permanent revelry. (Down boy! There, that's a good dogma.) edit - what the heck, I have time to kill this morning. Here's #2: The example of the Marx Brothers themselves shows the unity of Marxist theory and practice (for instance, when Groucho insults somebody while Harpo picks his pocket). Moreover, Marxism is dialectical (isn't Chico the classic dialect comedian?). Comedians who fail to synthesize theory and practice (to say nothing of those who fail to sin at all) are un-Marxist. Subsequent comedians, failing to grasp that separation is "the discrete charm of the bourgeoisie," have lapsed into mere pratfalls on the one hand, and mere prattle on the other. I'd do more, but my 2 finger typing skills are being taxed.
