I must admit that I have the same concern vis a vis ANY revolution.

That doesn't sound likely, but corruption is always a possibility.

Well, how do you define "surreal"?

In recent history an embarrassment of trolls and increasing flame wars
have taken their toll. The regulars are mostly gone, and there is
little left other than drive by posters & assorted nuts. This could, of
course, change at any time... a group is but the sum of its parts.
In the past there have been periods of interesting (to me) discussion of
surrealist obsessions such as Desire and the Imagination, collaborative
poems, and even image manipulation (before most servers began refusing
binaries for this group).
Will there be an alt.surrealism renaissance?
