 CD Baby: THE MOURNING SICKNESS: Good Mourning America - from info
This sickness has been brought on by the trauma and alienation of the Ideological State Apparatus (as manifest in the churches, schools, family, legal courts, the political system, trade unions, the press, and culture) and its associated Repressive State Apparatus (the tools of violence in the hands of the State).
This sickness obfuscates and destroys the material connections between people and replaces them with blind allegiance to an ideology or to a leader.
The Mourning Sickness operates from the assumption (probably and perhaps necessarily a false assumption) that this sickness can be fought, and that the cure lies (in part) in challenging assumptions (including this one) and exposing the break between ideology and (ultimately unknowable) reality.
