TELEVISION AND VIDEO

 

As discs to tapes, so television to video,

The one autocratic and the other democratic,

Extreme and moderate left-wing alternatives,

With the former corresponding

To a communist equivalent, and the latter ...

To a social democratic one,

Television the outer-light subnaturalism,

Relative to autocracy, of the communist State;

Video the outer-light subnaturalism,

Relative to democracy, of the social democratic State.
