serialism 

By the Late Romantic period music had become so bad and so long that it was decided it was no longer to be left in the hands of people (prone to emotional outburst roughly akin to public masturbation), and the responsibility was to be passed to maths. This was because numbers don’t have feelings and are less likely to harbor delusions of grandeur.

"I just heard Gurre-Lieder, What the f*ck was that? That's a year of my life I'll never see again. Perhaps serialism will be shorter and make more sence"

Serialism 

A pointlessly painful way for intellectuals to pretend that they can write so-called music. Enjoyed by people who, for instance, place bits of cow turd onto the end of a stick and hang it above their mantelpiece, asserting that it is a metaphor for existentialism in Barnsley.

Serialism is painful rubbish.

serialism 

One of the worst ideas in classical music (the other being minimalism), serialism takes the most mechanical form of atonality, dodecaphony and bases not just pitches, but dynamics, register, and rhythm on rows that the composer inverts and manipulates to create so-called music. It's like writing a book by taking a sentence and rearranging the letters into every possible way except the one that makes any sense.

The result is a chaotic, soulless mess that sounds like two cats clawing eachother to death. Serialism requires little real talent since no matter how you do it, the result will always sound the pretty much the same. It is not unreasonable to speculate that serialism was invented by composers who had no real ability or skill and needed a way to cover that fact up. Serialism is a disgrace to classical music and makes even rap sound great in comparison.

Only terrible composers like Pierre Boulez bother with serialism.

Serialism 

It is something that the composers in the 20th century can think about.
It is something that has been studying in the music conservatory.
It is something that can be use as tool by composers.

You can replace it with "Something" when you think it might be "serialism". It works. Don't take a risk of being an idiot.

A: What is that music ?!?!?!
B: It is Serialism. Oh yeah, it sounds like Serialism.
A: Really?
C: No dude, it is Bach's Fugue in B minor.

or

A: What is that music ?!?!?!
B: It is something. Oh yeah, it sounds like something.
A: Oh yeah.
C: Right.

phone serialism 

The phenomenon of two or more telephones in an office or at home ringing at, or nearly at, the same time with irritatingly dissonant musical intervals such as seconds and augmented fourths. The term "serialism" is a musical term meaning the technique whereby pitches from a tonal series, or row, are used to form a work, usually atonal, emphasizing said series.

Oh, man, it's really getting busy in the office right now. There's phone serialism going on now---the phones are ringing off the hook!

National Socialism 

National Socialism, National-Socialism or German: Nationalsozialismus is a philosophy or world view. National Socialism is based on nature. The belief that Man is a part of the natural world and that he is in no way separate from it. The belief that society should be structured in accordance with the laws of Nature.

Racial idealism is based on the love of your own people. Placing the interests of the racial community to which you belong ahead of your own personal desires.

National Socialism believes that all men are NOT created equal. Just as every individual has his own personal strengths and weaknesses, so each race certain qualities that make it different from other races.

National Socialism also believes in the improvement of your people. National Socialism's goal is that each new generation of children will be better off than the one before it.

National Socialism believes in putting the people before yourself. But there is a considerable difference in the socialism of Hitler and that of Marxist doctrine. Hitler saw nationalism as a patriotic motive to place the good of one's country before personal ambition.

Nat-Soc Germany adopted the Swastika (German: Hakenkreuz), one of the most ancient symbols in the world. The Swastika represents the sun, the giver of all life. Even the Jews had their own Swastika. Today the Swastika is known as a symbol of hate, which is a lie.

Person 1: "I don't like National Socialism, I think it's too authoritarian."

Person 2: "I disagree, I believe a strong state is necessary and National Socialism is a good idea."

Libertarian Socialism

Not an oxymoron. In fact, the term "libertarian" was first used by a French anarcho-communist back in 1857 to describe himself (an anarchist). The modern term libertarianism (economic freedoms) was originally called liberalism. The term "libertarian" describes liberty (thus, the term is also used to describe metaphysical liberty within philosophy and metaphysics), and the term socialism describes a society in which wealth is fairly distributed. Thus, it is neither a literal nor a practical contradiction.

A libertarian socialist would argue that a society based on such huge disparities of wealth is unfree. If you wish to enter into employment, you choose first and take orders later (as with liberal democracy). Libertarian socialists believe in voluntary association and economic democracy. This will allow the individual to reach his/her full potential.

The most famous example of successful libertarian socialism is the anarcho-syndicalist experiment in Spain during to Spanish Civil War, which was eventually destroyed by Communists and Fascists (see Orwell' "Homage to Catalonia" for excellent first hand reportage of this). At its peak, the anarchist union (CNT) had one million members.

Although sharing much of (if not all of) the Marxist analysis of capitalism, lib socialists vehemently oppose state socialism, especially the authoritarian socialism of Lenin, Trotsky, Mao and, more recently, the socialism of Hugo Chavez. The modern dispute between the two schools of socialism began in the First International, in which Karl Marx and Mikhail Bakunin bitterly argued over the road socialists should take. This dispute has continued ever since, with many Marxist regimes imprisoning, murdering (Russia), and exiling (Cuba) anarchists.

Modern advocates of libertarian socialism include linguist Noam Chomsky, historian and playwright Howard Zinn, and the Industrial Workers of the World ("One Big Union"), and the International Workers Association (of which the Spanish CNT is its largest affiliate).
