All
the interior doors had been taken off and stacked in the back landing. Neither bedroom had a door. There was no door on the bathroom. Weathermen didn’t believe in the things doors
stand for. The desire for privacy
embodied, in the Weathermen cosmos, the worst side of bourgeois
individualism. It was born in the same
reflex that denied the body, abstracted the person, and thus prepared a kill
target. Besides, private intimacies
might lead to private agendas. To avoid
this, everyone must go to bed and the bathroom with everyone else. Private pissing was counterrevolutionary.
