1. Another way: the Historic Party overlays a-historic and a-social patterns in messianic traditions and seeks to identify the suspension of social process and to substitute the event of itself as the path and the destination. But experience indicates that what is sought will be found in the possession of another - the desired object, if we call that truth, we mean only a bad Maltese Falcon, a demotivating and dispersive skatter-fetish, a brandished neg-MacGuffin, manifesting at the in-group boundary, and as a property belonging to the Other. The very core of sociality is the other’s truth content held back from the home team turning for home, none the wiser.
2. Another way: when considering the Singularity, or environmental collapse, or social revolution: /Mankind inevitably sets itself only such tasks as it is incapable of solving, since closer examination will always show that the problem itself arises only when the material conditions for its solution are lost forever (/nachträglichkeit/) or at least in the course of decomposition/.
3.i Another way, according to it’s own materialist principles, the chances that the products of communism would be carried by the Party of communism are, as the phrasing has it, /slim indeed/ - by what process would the communist milieu, a truncated product of class conflict, possess the content of what emerges as a set of social relations under /other/ conditions? A more consistently historical materialist theory of communism’s Party would make the case for it as a repository for all that communism is not - the Party of communism is a ruined folly, a midden of premature formulations, inappropriate gestures, and rank error. No, it is an orbiting satellite, tethered always at the same distance. Or it is that endeavour which constantly drifts further from the object that it seeks to approach, and which it never loses sight of but never gains ground on. Just as a painter will continue with a painting as he regrets not declaring it finished at an earlier stage, and now not finding a way out from it.
3,ii The Party is an expression of the problematic of communism set at a higher level, it is an openness, or turning towards communism as a fallen form, a fallen ruin, an architectural structure built to align with the dawning solstice but realised as misaligned, and becoming that glowing burial chamber illuminated by a wrong light. In a similar way, The Church is not the agent of divinity, it does not transport the cargo of God across the threshold between heaven and world but functions as a unique library, a repository, of all the dead-ends accumulated in mankind’s foolish efforts to break down from within the /reizschutz/ that shields humans from the inundation of God - why do they rush to expose themselves to the extra-atmospheric forces that are always about to roll them away?
