Comrades.
Alas it seems, we are met with the cruel fate of being born into a
reality like this, where our fellow beings have conspired in their
basest natures in structuring this society to benefit a few at great
cost to the many. The task, of those coherent enough to understand this
obvious truth is clear then, we have been given a mission from the
cosmos, to spend the rest of our lives defying the least of ourselves
each day, to take on the duty of ending this senseless suffering
arrangement by any means necessary, and effective.
I grieve with you, for the life of peace and luxury we wished for, but
which was stolen from us before we even lived. All of you have my utmost
respect.
But the time of excuses is over.
You are the ones who will stand for injustice and propaganda no longer.
You are the ones who meet every challenge with an iron will, and a birds
eye perspective.
You will be the ones to heal this planet of the illnesses of short
sighted ignorance and singular self concern.
You will take the curious under your wings, and watch as they grow to
realize their dignity and power, and demand more. You will be there with
them through good times and the bad.
You will be the ones to end this pointless stalemate with the liberals,
the extension of which shortens any hope for humanity.
You will see beyond your current moment to the grand narrative unfolding
in history.
Our modern times are defined by unimaginable illusion. As outlined by
thinkers like Jean Beaudriard, Guy Debord and Mark Fisher, a combination
of long term domination of every institution of society, including the
media, by the bourgeois, and a smartly evolving consumer culture, have
so far normalized the state of things to your average person, in ways
that are hard to express in non academic language, that new techniques
and understandings are required to address this condition, and cut
through the barriers of our current moment. The old understandings
aren’t enough.
You will never worship a leftist theorist as an infallible being removed
from their context.
You are the ones who will march forward into darkness, illuminating it
for those who cannot yet see.
You will remember that once we are ready to move, there is no difference
between an ideologically dedicated liberal and a fascist.
You will act with rightful suspiscion and hesitency to any concessions
made by the fascists.
You will not tear down your fellow peasants and workers for their
ignorance, but rather uplift them and bring out the best in them.
You will create a new democracy where the voices of the masses take
charge.
You will act with the knowledge that millions are our determined
enemies, precisely because their life story afforded them no other
imagination. You will put aside agonies about your personal sufferings
in dealing with them, and show them an impossible love and forgiveness
when they are disarmed and in the authority of the masses. You will
consider in each of them an unrealized comrade.
You will steel yourself against the inevitable backlash to our every
advance forward.
You will be the ones to restore human relations to their rightful state.
You will treasure and care for each other, because all we have in this
cold dark world is each other.
You will demand better of each other every day, from a place of love.
You will be the ones to carry every struggle as your own, to recognize a
universal humanity.
You will not hesitate, when the time comes, and you will make no excuses
for the tear, ing of your opponents clothes.
You will not accept the words of whichever dictators grab power
afterwards.
You will be the ones that will learn from the failures of the past, and
figure out the formula for Anarchism and Communism in this world.
Arguements about how humanity cannot have freedom yet will be heard as
what they are, the voice of a dying capitalism negotiating for it’s
life.
You will never allow yourself to be taken in by cultish organizational
methods which regiment you into compliance and demand fealty to idols
over your principles.
You will remain forever unsatisfied by symbolic or meaningless victories
and appeasements.
You will be the ones to realize a world where the individual benefits
and flourishes in the collective.
You will tame the aftermath like no generation before.
Even your failures will be exceptional, because you will never lose
sight of the glory on the horizon.
You will never let the stories of those who fought and perished for
ultimate justice be forgotten.
You will herd the imperfect masses towards communism generation after
generation until our momentum is unstoppable.
The point is.
You are... So beautiful.
You are... So inspiring to me.
You are not alone, we are with you.
In almost every home in your corner of the globe is a young person,
naively and beautifully fed up with your collapsing empire, there is
nothing the future fascisms of this world can do to stop them. They
cannot arrest or kill us all. There is no force stronger than the
working class united.
You will write a wonderful story with your life, and with an end tragic
or not, we will be waiting for you at the end of the simulation.
Probably. Lol.
Sorry if you get reborn as a grasshoppper or something. I mean really,
why the fuck were we born into this stupid ass situation. It must mean
something, right? I’m banking on it, comrades, but if not, eternal rest
sounds pretty sweet. It’ll suck if we have to get our testicles squeezed
in pliers by nazis before that, but whatever. I probably won’t make it
to Utopia with you, and I will likely meet some terrifying death, like
many radicals, but we must find the strength to move forward either way.
There can be no more meaningful end in this world than to fight to
realize an end to the conditions that manufacture war.
Thanks for reading, hope it made you thinky. You can find more on my
channel where I do modern Anarchist theory for dummies. You can also
