A review by Stephen Campbell

5.0

Written by Stephen Campbell on October 3, 2019

Built upon a fascinating temporal/cognitive dissonance that works well, but the narrative is painfully dull and the characters taciturn

The tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the 'state of emergency' in which we live is not the exception but the rule. We must attain to a conception of history that is in keeping with this insight. Then we shall clearly realise that it is our task to bring about a real state of emergency, and this will improve our position in the struggle against fascism.
