Stop the march of cupcake fascism.

Michael Blackburn: ‘Not only am I not a fascist (not even a twee, vintagey one), but I can also eat more other-cake knowing that I am contributing to the radical, anti-neoliberal revolution that will overthrow all social oppression. I could be a right-on, non-infantilized child. I could be a sticky-fingered, cake-eating comrade.’

Michael Blackburn: ‘I don’t count myself among the Philistines and have no desire to see art schools closed, but if this is the best that they can do to justify their existence to the outside world then they’re doomed. Most parents would not be happy if they knew their children were going off to college just to get a three-year course in Marxist indoctrination.’
