Stasi
 

Stasi is an online lit zine. And a current affairs site. And a venue for light trolling. And a bit of a street gang. And possibly a rock band. And your party destination when you just can't be bothered to put on your pants and go outside. It is an unprincipled lash-up of the Marxist left and libertarian right with a name that some will find offensive, and it is glorious. It is an exercise in editorial irresponsibility and profligacy. Henry Kissinger wouldn't like it. John Kerry wouldn't get it. The twentysomething selling copies of Socialist Worker on the nearest college campus would find it deeply suspect. The chair of the local Tea Party would use it as an excuse to get wretchedly drunk and hit on bemused waitresses at the local Outback Steakhouse. Donald Trump would call it a pussy. You, on the other hand, probably will like it. If you don't, you should take off all your clothes and have a party. It'll cure what ails you!

This online magazine is so hip that if you need to ask for a link to its location, you know you're just not cool enough to visit.

Seriously though Quincy, can you give me a clue? So many other things come up when searching on variations on 'stasi', 'magazine', 'literature' and 'online' that I'm not finding it.

That's because it is coming soon.

Ah, so it's a project of yours? Sounds interesting. I'll look forward to it.

Well, Jeez, who's the editor, Quincy?

Good Heavens, Quincy Is 'Socialist Worker' for sale on American Campuses? I had thought that sort of silliness ws very British.

I was assuming Quincy was.

The editors are mysterious, nicknamed "The Monk" and "El Loco," last I heard.

El Louwbre, more like.

hahaha!

You never know, though, Rick Mullin... Quincy has mysterious connections...

I thought when you can't bear to put on your pants and go outside there's always Facebook, no?
