Sisters and brothers,
When there is no place for us, no economic exploitation for us, they
call us scroungers. When they have a use for us, we are degraded into
useless work, crushing our spirit so we accept our endless orders
unquestioningly. We must work constantly to earn pitiful wages to
consume useless products. When we take our rightful share, they call us
thieves — though they deny us any other choice except conform, obey and
subsist on what they choose to give us or resist and starve. When we
stand up for our humanity, rejecting their right to give orders, they
call us ungrateful, wild and extreme, yet they have offered us nothing
but the chance to be exploited in a grey, dead world where we have no
say, no power, for this we should be grateful? When we try to change
things they crush us with the lies of their media and the tear-gas and
rubber bullets of their police with their vicious dogs. They destroy us
with poverty and boredom, when we resist they call us mindless
hooligans.
They give us nothing but endless misery. But we have less and less to
lose, less than nothing, and we are not content with sub-human
existence, we want to live and we have a world to win. We offer you
hope, we your friends, in our just anger. Join with us in the
rediscovery of our humanity, and the joy of living.
Love and Anger,
The Liberty group
