(Testing Heiner Müller’s statement: ‘[...] It would be a truly revolutionary act if people were happy to see others, outside, who have nothing to eat. If people did so consciously, this would be a revolutionary act. There would then be a chance that someday these homeless people would eventually be exasperated and do something. The first commandment of Marxism says: “a socialist doesn’t give to charity.” On the contrary, a socialist should awaken in those who have nothing to eat an awareness of their hunger by eating in front of them and not giving them anything.’ (Heiner Müller. 1991. Fautes d’impression; Textes et entretiens. Paris : L’Arche, p. 108-109))
