What are you so "enraged" about?
I rage against a machine that permits me this life and style, dammit!

Par for the course I suppose for artists. In the post-war era, as Italy entered a wicked good economic boost between 1950 and 1970, leftist artists were busy fawning over communism. It brought Italy a certain artistic flair sure, but the average Italian never really took to Pasolini and neo-realism in film, for example, or literature for that matter.
In fact, left-wingers were so tyrannical they suppressed any type of art that didn't conform to their views. The classic case is the novel The Leopard by Lampedusa.
It never got published because of left-wing censorship, but when it did, it was enormously popular and soon became one of Italy's greatest novels of the 20th century.
Ironic stuff.
