Title: The Revolutionary's Burdens Author: Zoonotist Language: en Topics: Everyday life, Personal revolt, revolution Source: https://zoonotist.keybase.pub/everydayrevolutionary.pdf
The mindset of a revolutionary is unchangeable by any negative force in
the society, and especially by the system. In fact, these oppressive
forces are the driving energies behind the thrives of a revolutionary.
The true revolutionaries are those who act for the most powerful
reactions against all oppression and corruption of authority. The
mindset of such revolutionaries experience oppression, and/or have
fought the oppressed, and understand firmly that without liberation
there would be no tomorrow for any of them. They steadfastly understood
that no single kind of reformation or collaboration with state power
could bring peace and ending for all oppression, and the revolutionaries
stop at nothing to reclaim that freedom from any oppression, one way or
another.
These are the powerful invisible forces that enable a revolutionary to
take a bullet for another being. This is what to allow a revolutionary
to block the blow of oppressor for the bullied even it was fatal. These
are what driven such courage and righteousness of the revolutionaries
that no fairy-tale heroes could match them. The dichotomy concurs, what
have prevented the undying fire of a revolutionary’s heart and mind to
carry out the grand plan to liberate all lives, humans and animals
alike, from oppression? Their own lives. The burdens that capitalism
have enslaved the greatest mind of the people with no bound of
selflessness and courage.
Eight hours of sleep, eight of leisure, eight of works... Scratch that
and rewind. Sixteen hours of works because of two-three odd jobs, five
for sleep, and three for being stuck in a sardine box called public
transit. Ones could never have thought how could anybody have any
remaining time for leisure, or making plans for revolutionary and
insurrectionary activities. Yet day-by-day, the revolutionary actions
keep on happening. Why should anyone sacrifice their little time for the
greater action of the society? But it is almost miraculous that the
revolutionaries have made time and space for the greater good of the
collective existence, despite the capitalist lifestyle have burdened and
constrained them into cogs and screws for the regime. The everyday
revolutionary fights on.
The most imaginative power that a revolutionary inherited from
experience of their lives, is the knowledge and skill to make used of
any tool, people, time and space they have come across. States too have
such power, however they are bought and coerced to happen, not being
driven by the relationship of mutual aid between living beings. It is
the power of selflessness, to inspire for millions of other similar
people to stand up against all oppressors. It is the power of
solidarity, that ones understand the suffering of another and fight for
them. It is the power of care and love, for each other that drove a
typical person toward the greatest acts of revolution regardless of
burdens.
The only burdens left to decipher, is their own prison of mind. The cage
that hampered their imagination, the power of love, the force of
resistance. It’s the prime decision to break their psychological chain
that enslaved their freedom. It’s the choice between accepting what they
were labeled, or kill the cop in their mind and be liberated. The true
state of mind of a would-be everyday revolutionary is everything. There
is nothing to loose but their mindful burdens.
Would you rather liberate yourselves so you can assist other for their
liberation? Or be caged, both mentally and physically by the burdens of
capitalist society? Would you be stuck in the repeated loop that the
society decided for you, or to seek the imaginative freedom? To free
other from similar chains? If you could answer these questions for
yourselves, you are truly free from all burdens.
