A Not-Elite Conversation



"Hey—are you an elite? Like, a
Kathmandu elite?"

"What? God, no! I mean—can you imagine being one of those?"

"Yeah, I know, right?"

"It's okay. They behave like that only because they are ignorant. Because, you know, they can't be more critical about their class conditions, you know what I mean?"

"Yeah, I know, right? It's like, they haven't read the right books. Otherwise they'd be totally conscious."

"Exactly! Like they haven't, you know, read theories and stuff. Like, the right books, exactly, the right book. If you read the right stuff, it totally changes your life. That is what I find. At least."

"Yeah. Me too."

"But, God! Can you imagine being one of those?"

(both laugh derisively)
