Marathe & Steeply: the A.F.R.'s doctrine, from inside — "The exact time of death and…"

A.F.R. strategy articulated from the inside: "the genius of Guillaume DuPlessis" was to grasp that America has already chosen death-by-pleasure, so "the exact time of death and way of death, this no longer matters" — the samizdat merely formalizes a suicide already underway. It is the doctrine that separates the A.F.R. from the F.L.Q., les Fils, and the Albertans (who "did not understand"): terror not as coercion toward a demand but as the mere delivery of an end the target has itself invited. The whole late-book campaign follows from this reading.
