Shaw = en frastødende glistrupist. Aforisme-geni
Bo Warming
Journalist og skuespilsforfatter, George Bernard Shaw kom fra Irland
til London samtidig med Oscar Wilde og færdedes i samme kloge
socialistiske kredse, hvor man lagde mere vægt på frihed end lighed.
Glistrups socialisme er af samme slags - er social, er ikke kortsigtet
a la SF.
Shaw sugede Wagner og Nietzsche til sig og var et sprudlende
overmenneske, der gav alle andre mindreværdsfølelse. Han er kynisk og
ærlig og hans sandheder gør ondt på mange.
"George Bernard Shaw hasn't an enemy in the world, and none of his
friends like him." Oscar Wilde
Glistrups største forskel fra de andre Nietzsche-kloner er, at han er
pragmatisk politiker og derfor ikke kritiserer det hvidkitlede
præsteskab, læge-halvguderne.
En lighed mellem dem er vennesælhed, elskværdighed, og frihed for
indre splittelse - Men helt som sin professorhelt i "My Fair Lady" var
Shaw så fri at konformitet at det blev "pindsvin-stikkende", så ingen
kvinde kunne holde ham ud som andet end penneven.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
"There is in man a specific lust for cruelty, which infects even his
passion for pity and makes it savage. Nietzsche
