A communist philosopher storms into
A psychoanalyst’s conference…
Have you heard this one?
He storms in
Claiming divine right
And claims it is
The analysand
Not the psychoanalyst
Who is the proletarian –
The worker –
Of psychoanalysis
He says
The brain is a factory
And we its workers
And it’s the psychoanalyst
Who is the boss
He says we must democratize
The process
He says
The workers of the world
Must own the means of cognition
Althusser looks to Lacan
Expecting the latter to agree.
He says nothing.
Althusser is rushed out of the building.
It just doesn’t feel right, clicking “Like” on such an awful pun.

I love seeing what people see beyond my intention.
