Decadent Action Manifesto

Decadent Action are the man and woman sitting next to you at the

cocktail bar, they have money in their pockets and mischief on their

minds.

Decadent Action are a High Street anarchist-guerrilla organisation whose

main aim is to destroy the capitalist system by a leisurely campaign of

good living and overspending. We plan to achieve our aims by making

capitalism fall on it’ s own sword. If you neglect and ignore capitalism

it will not go away, but feed it to excess for long enough and it will

eventually burst.

We use the simple economic principles of supply and demand with their

intrinsic link to inflation to establish our theories. The state must

control these factors to run the economy efficiently; throw in the wild

card of massive irrational overspending on seemingly random luxury goods

and the government is unable to take control. This will lead to hyper

inflation and large scale social unrest, leading to the collapse of the

monetary system and disintegration of the state apparatus.

So how can you get involved in this conspiracy to otherthrow the

government without making too much effort or getting your hands dirty?

Well the answer is to spend, spend, spend! Get money, spend it, it’s as

simple as that. Below we set out ten pointers to help you to become

truly decadent and to destroy the monetary system at your leisure.

Savings are for losers, when the monetary system collapses your few

pounds in the bank will become worthless. Get them out and blow the lot

on a night out. We can recommend The Lanesborough Hotel on Hyde Park

Corner in London, The Stannary in Tavistock (Devon) or just choose the

best place nearest to you and hit the vintage champagne.

Shopping is fun, and you can never have enough designer labels, buy

that dress you’ ve been lusting after. The words ‘dry clean only’ are

what we look out for, and good quality clothing is available in all

major towns and cities. Stylish clothes can get you into all the right

(and wrong) places and can help you convince others of your wealth in

order to pull a fast one.

Government sponsorship is always a nice way to fund a spending spree.

This comes in many forms — dole money, business start up grants,

blackmail and bribery are all money for nothing. Try seeing how quickly

you can blow your dole cheque in a cocktail bar.

Never, ever eat chocolate of less than 60% cocoa solids. Ackermans or

Green and Blacks is what you should be eating.

Credit is the decadent’s friend. It is inflationary, it is free money,

it is fun to spend. Credit cards are best, yours or someone else’s.

Available now from high street banks, all you have to do is convince

them that you can pay it back, piece of piss. When the monetary system

collapses your bill will simply disappear. Keep several with you at all

times.

Shopping without money is an essential part of our plan. See it, like

it, have it. Never take no for an answer.

Pass on the decadent message at all possible opportunities. We

recommend writing, rubber stamping or scalding on bank notes with

appropriate pro- consumer slogans such as ‘spend, spend, spend’ and

‘shop now, riot later’.

Terrorism and violence against the state can be fun but make sure you

get the right tools for the job. Sawn off shot guns are crude and could

snag your clothes. In short, if you’re going to shoot a cop — make sure

you use a nice gun.

Guilt and the morals of the Christian Right have no place in our

plans. Get yourself out and buy some smut, get down to your local perve

shop and kit out your dungeon.

Sort out the right heroes and influences — take a tip from us and

spend the day of the next general election in bed with a jug of your

favourite cocktail, a Combustible Edison soundtrack and read up on

Baader, Meinhoff, Chomsky, Susie Bright, Harry Roberts, Valerie Solanas,

Viv Nicholson and troublemakers the world over. The odd few pence on a

meagre minimum wage is not our concern when we want to bring the whole

system crashing down.

These are just a few of the things that may help you in the war against

the monetary system. If you wish to receive our journal The Decadent

then send a stamped, addressed envelope to the below address.

Invitations to exclusive restaurants, gifts of fine wines and champagne

are also encouraged.
