But the idea that a class might lead a revolution for freedom was not welcome in the academies, where the social scientists preferred to depict working people as credulous, prejudiced, totalitarian in instinct and political disposition. This is the outlook of the Bomber, who espouses a dreary fatalism mingled with apocalyptic romanticism about the primitive condition. Maybe this is what the Bomber is talking about when he invokes chance, free will or God. In tune with this homicidal political nuttiness, the Bomber writes about the left in a style that's like Ayn Rand rolled into Rush Limbaugh. This is probably what tipped the scale when the editors were debating whether to publ ish.

The leftist is antagonist ic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser. Leftists tend to form political groups or parties.

Meanwhile, the post-structuralists are getting their teeth into the Bomber. The Bomber uses wood in his devices.
