OVERTHROW! The Autopsy of NEOISM

by Istvan Kantor

Neoism is philosophy of total being, characterized by the perfervid individualism of its countless members, including all the millions who don't even know that they are Neoists. Being composed from a prefix and a suffix. NEO + I~M conceals nothing, means nothing, therefore it can be defined as nothing or everything. It suggests, however, that it might has to do something with "new"(neo), therefore it might mean the refusal of the "old"(ism), which is the rejection of everything that has been before: Ultimate Refusal. Theoretically, perhaps it is, but in practice, Neoism seems to be exactly the opposite, being a vacuum that sucks in everything without any order, causing an accumulation of complete disorder! Yes, thank you Neoista Desconocida for summing it up so perfectly in your impassioned, lyrical message to me. Yes, we are all bastards, of course, it makes me want to puke when I'm listening to all the sick talks of my angry and insane artist friends. But I want to be among then wasting time, pretending to be gods, creating confusion, infesting the atmosphere with infernal theories of Neoism. That's what I live for. It's all glorious bad news, nothing but beautiful nonsense! Great confusion!
Total disaster! Neoism?! (Istvan Kantor) Monty Cantsin? Amen.
