UGLY AND BEAUTIFUL ACCORDING TO WHOM?

There are also two kind of attitudes to "good taste" and "pleasant sounds".
That of the proletariat - a new and heroic class in history destined to
smash the bourgeosie and its state by the force of violent -,and strident -
mass revolutionary action, and the decadent taste of the poltroons and false
"Red-ridding hood grannies" at the service of imperialism and the bourgeosie
such as yourself.

If you want proof of this phenomena around the class character of "good
taste" just pay attention at what the bourgeosie always says, for example
regarding the armed insurrection of the popular masses in Albania:

What appears a great and momentous, praise worthy and glorious action, that
of arming the masses and that the masses should use their arms to beat back
the fascist gangsters was described by the bourgeois media as "things began
to get ugly" (See New York, London Times, The Guardian UK and everyone else
in the imperialist media manifesting their "good taste").

That is why in writing the ugly, decadent, super-annuated, leaden and
ponderous disgusting garbage you do, and describing it as such, I am just
being honest in expressing my proletarian outlook.

Piss off you ugly little twerp! (you see, that is my proletarian outlook on
you, Mr. Austin, and I will just take it for granted that your outlook on me
is just the very same seen from the opposite standpoint of the bourgeosie!
And to think that you deny dialectics!  Isn't that a funny thing?
