Subvert! Fight back!
GeckoA hundred billion backs broken for a baneful existence undertow. Heels cracking down on the backs of their peers. Yet the working class suffers this disrespect generation after generation. However, we don't have to suffer it quietly. Comrades, in every walk of life we have a choice to make:
Do we continue to act like we can do nothing to stem the tide of neoliberal ideology from consuming every aspect of our lives, or;
Do we take a stand, however minimal, against the onslaught we are oppressed with every day?
Siblings under the black flag, I beseech you to become more than our ancestors! Every minute you fight against the shackles of wage slavery is a minute we draw closer to the breaking of our chains!
Many of you may not know how we can manage even the most minute of advances to our cause, but fret not. They are varied and numerous! We must take the step to expand our levels of sabotaging the very system that seeks to consume our every minute, our every second, our every day! Of course, the very easiest is something that anyone can do:
Propagation of our propaganda against the modern status quo. Place stickers that provide people with the right questions to ask, hand out pamphlets teaching your peers, neighbors, and friends the glorious truth of anarchy! Anyone, anywhere, can engage in this act of rebellion, but always be wary of those who will take this as an excuse to target you with violence, both direct and indirect. Furthermore, be prepared to use the next easiest form of rebellion in the face of their ostracism:
Organize, organize, organize! Does this mean finding only other anarchists to engage with, forming a society of outcasts looked upon with derision? No! This would completely validate their feelings of contempt! Become friends with your neighbors, build a community of interconnection, and maintain a system of mutual aid in your area. This is by no means a word of advice to turn a blind eye to injustice and remain mute on words of prejudice. Rather, this is a full embrace of becoming the change you wish to see. When you build the web of connections, placing ideas of mutual aid and radical thoughts of freedom as core tenets, you find that your enemies worst attacks of ostracism and violence are easily diverted or avoided altogether. When you build that web of networks of mutual aid, you find their power slowly subsides!
Lament not when the tools you need no longer exist. Do we cast aside all projects when we find we need certain tools to make it easier? No! We do what we can with what we have! Tools only exist to make our dreams easier to reach. It does not mean that our dreams are unresolvable, but the path will be rocky and covered with tougher terrain. Ease of discovery does not mean it is the correct path. We have already firmly decided to be associated with the most fringe of tasks. It was always going to be harder! Do we become the very creature we seek to destroy? That would maintain a self-fulfilling prophecy! Therefore, we must deny them the satisfaction of operating on their rules!
Refuse to operate for profit in your personal matters, and make sure that those you come across receive what they need. A community based on what you can extract from others has an unstable foundation. If you seek retribution for each act, you eventually won't act without retribution. How sad the day when someone in need is turned away. Imagine if that someone was you!
The current status quo only seeks to provide for those who are willing to slave away for the profit of those who are not willing to provide for their basic needs. As if we cannot provide for those means ourselves in nature! As if the employer is the only means to provide for yourself and your family! We live on a planet of plenty, we are provided all we need just through sheer result of evolution. Why must we slave away for another's greed simply because slips of cotton are the current method of trade? Why must we pursue imaginary numbers in a computer simply because the current prevailing ideology says it must be so?
You and I both know it must not be so! The ways to live our lives are as limited as our imaginations! Do not allow the powers that be force from you your imagination, your very essence, your very being! Fight back in every way you can! Bring forth the subversive ideas that allow you to undermine the established norms! Subvert their expectations!
