Dictionary: Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.
Encyclopedia: Surrealism. Philosophy. Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principal problems of life.

"I'm an anarchist."
"What, you mean one of those people like Ted Kaczynski who thinks we need to go back to hunter-gatherer times?"
"No, that's a primmy. I'm just against all forms of hierarchy."
"Oh. That's confusing,"

Cynically using a minority group as an instrument to attack one's political rivals. Commonly done by the right, which has zero concern for Jews (as evidenced by their entire politics) but likes to use us as a weapon.
