âThe past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.â (â1984â)
On the pages of this web-â site, RadioAzione-Italy, is been discussed the issue of âcrazed counter-â informationâ more than once. I return on this issue because I was working on Orwellâs â1984â this days and I started to perceive many similarities with what was happening recently. The character, that I mentioned above, is the total opposite of me; he stands in antithesis to an anarchist, but this doesnât mean that his topics arenât interesting.
The counter-â information means everything and the contrary of everything nowadays.
Donât let my words, concerning the net,become the shudder of joy for the admires of paper; as the net express hypocrisy,contradiction, attempts to rewrite the anarchist history, or pearls of shit of Americanâs culture related to anarchism (Oscars for the best anarchists or, the last pearl, a web-site where so-called American anarchists were explained how to practice bdsm between anarchists...), so the paper, at least in Italy, except *âCroce Nera Anarchicaâ* [Anarchist Black Cross], express a poverty of ideas and analysis, in spite of confrontations that should it create, more than sites and blogs.
On all these propagandistic gangrene the red vultures swoop down, flying swirly over our heads, waiting for the first weak mind on which to pounce on. The prey is attacked, ideas devoured,infected, infecting therefore whoever is and remains beside. The ideas are changing, conforming, the thought merges into thousand of contradictions, the specialists spread them and the lie become the truth. From all this the *neolanguage* is born, very popular in past years, and recently based on the *doublethink*, essential notion for the recoverers of struggle, founded on the fact that an individual can support two ideas, completely different and in opposition, at the same time.
This happen regularly, and daily, on the pages of counter-information, these days. Leaving aside the issue about âpaperâ, because I donât want to light the short fuses and waste my time arguing about ânothingâ, my critical thinking refers to those kind of projects similar to RadioAzione, but just for the platform in use. Obvious, I will not cite the names of these projects that I donât support, in respect of comrades who carry on these activities, but whose ideas I donât respect.
Itâs becoming very hard to understand, if many anarchists manage counterinformation web-sites and blog or, since they donât have a storeroom in their homes, they decided to create virtual storages where can amass everything. In the past, has not been practiced what was preached. Today, even the preach is absent. The figures donât add up or maybe, very simply, to put it jokingly like the nowadays dopey kids (and not just them,unfortunately), this is a way to be âvery socialâ (referring to the social networks).
Why âvery socialâ?
Because using that way means, publishing everything, none will be offended. If, then, none even comments on things that have been published, like the comrade from web-site RadioAzione-Croatia says, we risk to become news agencies, which publish everything, from politics to sports, passing trough culture and gossip. But abstain from comment very often means not want to offend anyone. So you can go out on the streets without encounter further enemies, besides those in uniforms, hang out at black, red, rainbow, and so on and so forth, squats. You can welcome anyone at your place, just for quantity, and for visibility of your political job, not giving a fuck about who you are hosting. In this way of doing you can have many âfriendsâ and a lot of âlikeâ, but what remains in the end is the fact that those friendships, in despite of their physicality, are abstract, virtual. If they say to you âLikeâ is because there is an advantage, you are convenient, you allow them to devour you, they sneak in to you like the ticks under the skin, infecting you and you infect others with *doublethink*.
I close this text section by saying that anarchists donât demand âabolitionâ. The respect and the solidarity with the âinternalâ struggle, with those who are sequestered in the dungeons of the State, anyway, donât lead me to blindness and support, transforming them in âmy strugglesâ. âMy struggleâ is definitely to wipe the prison structure off the face of Earth, and not demand the abolition of this or that law. But I donât have unconditional respect for the comrades who have always speaking in a certain way and now are demanding âabolitionsâ, the respect, just because they are former anarchist or are still anarchist comrades, and moreover detained.
What does it mean to fight for the abolition of special prisons? Does it mean these normal prisons are good for us now? Oh yes..., we got used very well to the old prison, and now it will be very difficult for us to adapt to the new one.
The prison is the prison. This is sequestration by the State, or by any other authoritarian structure, above the physical body who doesnât reenter in the ranks for receive the host and thanks the âlordâ. Of course, there are differences about the correspondence, the reduced social relationships, but we must go beyond these things, because the aim of an anarchist is much bigger in comparison with the prison. We are anarchists, not reformists. Weâre not interested in reaching the goal, doing things âstep by stepâ, but in the total destruction, without middle ways.
What does it mean âabolition of anti-â terrorism laws or to be against the anti-â terrorism lawsâ? Does it mean if they abolish them, we will live better? Are we fine with all other laws? These can not be anarchist struggles. This is *doublethink*.
Coexistence of contradictory ideas, uniformity of thought and consider like âsacredâ, what the âsublimeâ minds say, the holders of âpolitically correctâ language. The one who opposes to this, who says what he thinks, what he sees, what is evident, what is *âbetter not to say in front of everyone, or do not write publicly, otherwise, we, anarchist, will appear in a bad lightâ* etc. Well, the one who commits the *thoughtcrime* is branded as dangerous subject, who has to be avoid, as buffoon, jackass, poor loser, and more, as pain in the balls or in the ovaries, going as far as accusing him for treachery if he doesnât conform, except if the State shot him down, because then he becomes a âpoor martyrâ. If this last passage didnât happen, the curriculum vitae of revolutionaries would be diminished. Therefore, there is no need to be an institutional structure to be a âpartyâ, because the parties exist among the anarchists too, with leaders, wannabe leaders, lackeys, and the herd with bowed heads as well. And opposing to the parties, have a not conformed brain, and especially, compared to the masses, to have a spine means attract to themselves so much human misery.
If someone feels offended after reading these lines, makes a mistake to consider me like his âenemyâ, because his real ENEMY is in his thoughts, his ideas, his relations with ideas. His real ENEMY is the *doublethink*.
âTo a time when truth exists and what us done cannot be undone. From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of Doublethink -â greetings!â (â1984â)
