Concise description of the directive:
The most recent bourgeois literature is steeped in pessimism, it is decadence on a scale never seen before in history. Contemporary prophets of the Weltschmerz (universal pain) are born out of the collapse of capitalist civilisation. The thinking of many modern poets of capitalism is imbued with an awareness of this collapse.
