Anti-Politics

[Avanti]

the rule of the game is

all parties agree on the long-term goal

a globalized system

built on the domination of the elite

the politicians are just cogs in the wheel

and sucked up into the vortex of elite systems

those who are chosen as leaders

are selected through a darwinian process of backstabbery within their parties

all parties that matter

are pre-selection of leaders processes

rather than expressions of any people's will

conservatives are elected

Babylon rules

liberals are elected

Babylon rules

social democrats are elected

Babylon rules

when someone who is not approved by Babylon rises up

the system destroys them

digs up all their shadows

pierces their brains with bullets

drag down their pants

media is executing them through camera flashes

nobody who isn't stamped with the seal of approval

is allowed to enter the temple

Babylon reigns supreme

politics is just a theatre

all political theories

all ideologies

are just justifications for elite rule

empty declarations for grey academics to mark themselves

the only real ideology is the conviction

the only real programme is the action

we want to live

Babylon is a cool place.

[cynicles]

Babylon always reminds me of 'Invisible Light' by the Scissor Sisters and that part with Ian McKellan. I find it easier to commit things to memory if either Morgan Freemon, Ian McKellan or Stephen Fry reads it for me.

IMO capital rules despite the election of conservative, liberal, or social democratic politicians. Ergo social revolution is the only solution. Avanti il rivoluzione soziale!

Politics is illusory. Power is constant and antagonistic to our interests, for now

Politics is illusory. Power is constant and antagonistic to our interests, for now

the first step

is to break free

from their control

begin

with dumpster diving

free food

test to sleep outside

soon

you will live in the wide open

breathing fresh light

you will feel the soil under your feet

you need to be free from their stain

you need to be free

it is their fault that you feel so empty inside

so hurting

so alone

their

the avanti believes in you

you are the lost children

you will wander through the urban desert

fulfill the prophecy of avanti

rise up

[Avanti]

rule of cool (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool)

is underestimated

[GoddessCleoLover]

Didn't some guys make their fortunes on Madison Avenue and in Hollywood based upon knowing how to manipulate the "Rule of Cool"?

[Avanti]

we can manipulate it

and we will use it

to change the world

to change the minds of billions

forever

[GoddessCleoLover]

We need to capture the "rule of cool" to rescue the popular culture for the proletariat from the current forces of cultural hegemony.

We need to capture the "rule of cool" to rescue the popular culture for the proletariat from the current forces of cultural hegemony.

This theory actually holds weight.

[Yuppie Grinder]

Like, I buy it. Really good idea.

[GoddessCleoLover]

Thank you. I would like to think it is a bit of applied Gramscianism.

Yeah but the odds are against socialism in USA. Listen to this interview of the socialist activist Michael Slate and Bob Avakian, about how can we have a revolution in a country of so much capitalism propaganda

How can this be a popular revolution when so much is lined up against it ... are you nuts?: 35 minutes / 23.9 meg (mp3) (http://bobavakian.net/sound/slate/popular_revolution_are_you_nuts.mp3)

the key is

to first make a revolution

where you can

inside your mind

inside your heart

and let go of the possessions of Babylon

they are entrapments

tying you to a system

that forces you to act as an oppressor

that forces you to own slaves

the money you hold in your hand

owns you and your fellow sisters and brothers

you are a slave and a slave owner

you have been tainted

by the values of a sick system

you must follow the light

of true liberation

which is found

outside the system

in between the boxes

amongst the outcasts

a generation of lost children is awakening

avanti has spoken

Bob Avakian should write a smaller constitution almost no one is going to bother reading his long ass boring constitution, only thorough people like me will. Too long to be practical even if I agree with a lot of it.

[Flying Purple People Eater]

Oh god, there's three now!

[Avanti]

all constitutions deteriorate

because they are an expression of state legitimization

and most states will deteriorate

Babylon will find its ultimate expression

it is inevitable

the river seeks the easiest way

[LiberationTheologist]

Bob Avakian and his absurd party wants to ban porn! http://revcom.us/movement-for-revolution/stop-patriarchy/index.html

[Avanti]

who is bob avakian?

is that anything

anyone

should pay

any attention?

[LiberationTheologist]

Oh god, there's three now!

I see you are a part of that neo-anarchist party brother. These are your people! I'm only an infiltrator in that party, I'm woking on Trotsky entryism in that lame group.

Yes, you should. He is the Sri Chinmoy of communism.
