ATTACK DART. 1985. (BEAT THE REDS WITH THE WHITE WEDGE: CORRESPOND!). STATIONERY.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1985

23 x 23cm (unfolded size), 2pp letterhead sheet designed to be folded into a paper airplane shape and thrown.
The text inside: “BEAT THE REDS WITH THE WHITE WEDGE: CORRESPOND!” adapts the Russian revolutionary slogan from the famous painting by Lazar Markovich Lissitzky, suggesting writing letters may be a radical response to the attacks on Little Sparta by the Strathclyde Region. It should be noted that the dart is supposedly published by the “Committee of Public Safety” which was the centralised mechanism by which Robespierre and Saint-Just controlled the Terror of the French revolution. This is a mailed example to Ronnie Duncan with stamp and frank. Murray lists this as a card – which is debatable we have decided to categorise it as a letter/document because of it’s intent as a campaigning item. VG+.
