I haven't got a clue as to what this is. However, I
tried to do some research on the web. "Luther Blissett" is a former
soccer player, whose name has been stolen by a loose network of avantgarde
artists and writers in Europe. There seems to be some kind of connection to
anarchism.
One of the cultural saboteurs is a certain Stewart Home, whose most known novel is suggestively titled "69 things to do with a dead princess". Home is the author of a 30 cm long leaflet called "Green Parasite", in which he fulminates against the British hippy mag Green Anarchist, quotes my favourite non-entity the International Communist Current, and mentions ex-neo-Bordigist Jacques Camatte. I take it "Green Parasite" by Luther Blissett is this leaflet, then?!
Ha ha ha.
Not my kind of stuff, I'm afraid. I'm an honest, hard-working member of my community, not some kind of ersatz hippy. But then, it's interesting to note that at the only public meeting of the ICC I ever attended, one of the other attendees (who was barking mad) tried to hawk...a surrealist-looking and completely incomprehensible art magazine. This would have been circa 1989.
I think I met the real Luther Blissett. And I don't mean the football player.
