Summary/Abstract: The author contends that any contestation or countercultural movement, no matterhow generous, is bound to failure unless it develops as a rational project. Violence, assuch, might help visibility, but, in the last analysis, it amounts to nothing more thanself-gratifying narcissism, incapable to produce positive results, even less to satisfy therequest of present day youth for a different, more open society.
