Salient or the Dominion

With reference to your plans to sell Salients in Wellington — what are you some sort of latent capitalist? Are you not aware as Mr Tripe (symbolism there?) points out in his fascinating letter (June 27) that 'Marxism-Leninism, however, shows the impossibility of using the institutions of the bourgeois state for the purposes of the proleterian state'? If selling papers isn't a capitalist trick what would you call messers Blundell/Gendall — cultural revolutionaries?

On the other hand, possibly your reluctance to perform the 'heroic act of the peoples' revolution' i.e., giving the fucking things away is based on your shrewd appraisal of the fact that 'the masses' of Wellington would probably, like us students, prefer the Dominion: But going by the piss-poor rag you produce, who's fault is that?
