Graffiti slogans

[Matty_UK]

Supposing one was hypothetically going to begin a local campaign of thought provoking anti-capitalist graffiti on the streets, what slogans would you suggest one would hypothetically use? Bear in mind one is hypothetically trying to reach ordinary people here!

"KLASS MOT KLASS" = Class Against Class

"Classwar 2005"

"To Fight! To Hunger! To RESIST!"

"Hasta La Victoria Siempre"

And maybe a picture of the Proletariat raising the fist against a capitalist employer or some bourgeois upperclass pricks with the caption "Raise The Fist" Or "Viva Socialism"

All of these would work great as a caption to pictures of the Sickle And Hammer and/or images of the Proletariat and/or 5 point star. Revolution!


Keep in mind these are all just "hypothetical" though ;)

[Enragé]

hmmm hypothetically, one could hypothetically use the following:

The more you consume, the less you live
(hypothetically the best hypothetical place for this would be some wall of a big store)

Our Day Will Come (with a big hypothetical anarchy or hammer+sickle underneath) or you could go with the original in irish: Tiocfaidh Ar La (used by the IRA), doubt if anyone will understand.

Boredom is counterrevolutionary (a hypothetical school wall perhaps)

Everything for everyone and nothing for ourselves

Lead by obeying

the good ol' simple ones;

Down with the state.
Fuck the state
Fuck the system
Fuck Capitalism
Down with Capitalism
etc

Abolish class society

Warning: ambitious careerists may now be disguised as “progressives.”
or you could replace "progressives" with Labour Party members ;)

We want structures that serve people, not people serving structures

Barricades close the streets but open the way

Don’t negotiate with the bosses. Abolish them.

By stopping our machines together we will demonstrate their weakness

Occupy the factories

Power to the workers councils

Worker: You may be only 25 years old,
but your union dates from the last century

Comrades, let’s lynch Blair!

Man is neither Rousseau’s noble savage nor
the Church’s or La Rochefoucauld’s depraved sinner.
He is violent when oppressed, gentle when free.
or simply "Man is violent when oppressed, gentle when free" we dont want you to get caught cuz you have to spray too much, leaving you no time to escape some cop or sumthin ;)

Humanity won’t be happy till the last capitalist is hung
with the guts of the last bureaucrat.

A single nonrevolutionary weekend is infinitely more
bloody than a month of total revolution.

We refuse to be highrised, diplomaed, licensed,
inventoried, registered, indoctrinated, suburbanized,
sermonized, beaten, telemanipulated, gassed, booked

Conservatism is a synonym for rottenness and ugliness

The most beautiful sculpture is a paving stone thrown at a cop’s head

Unbutton your mind as often as your fly

Professors, you make us grow old (hypothetically on some school building)

Professors, you are as senile as your culture, your modernism
is nothing but the modernization of the police (same)

Neither God nor master

I suspect God of being a leftist intellectual

Going through the motions kills the emotions

Down with/Fuck consumer society

“The cause of all wars, riots and injustices is the existence of property.”
(St. Augustine)

How sad to love money (on a hypothetical bank ;) )



remember, where you put the graffiti is of great importance as to the effect it will generate, try to match what you are saying in the graffiti to what you are spraying it on. And by no means ever spray on a worker's house/property.

HYPOTHETICALLY ofcourse :)

[infernomunky]

Capitalism ? No thanks , we'll burn your fucking banks
stop consuming, start living.
"if pro is the opposite of con, does that mean progress is the opposite of congress?"
Crimethink - we kill the bees and eat the flowers.
You are dead.
One life. One chance.
Your hunger. Your life. Your fists.
"you smell beautiful"
"touch me"
"you just proved writing on the bathroom stall works"
"this is one hell of a ______"
"you play dead, i'll get the teacher"
"if pro is the opposite of con, does that mean progress is the opposite of congress?"
"I kill policeman so watch your back you fucking gestapo!"
"queer as fuck!"
"live without dead time"
"make your parents stammer apologies but dun stop screaming"
is this democracy?
stop consuming, start living.
more world less bank
stop gentrification
what have you done for revolution?
does plastic crap make your life better?
"Read Books"
"Eat Your Vegetables"
"rebellion is not in age, it is adapted and kept threw out your life
rebellion is not in the mouth it is in your blood and your heart
rebellion is not in the image, you carry it within you deep inside..
rebellion isnt coherence, coherence is action
coherence is action, not standing there with your arms crossed!!
SIGUE PUNO EN ALTO..(A)...
"time to un-fuck things up" (A).. taking back whats ours and defending it!!
We will rebuild what we destroy. (A)
WE MUST DESTROY INORDER TO REBUILD
your sleeping...wake up
Commute, work, commute, sleep . . .
In the decor of the spectacle, the eye meets only things and their prices.

in the decor of the spectacle, the eye meets only things and their prices.

Commute, work, commute, sleep . . .

Meanwhile everyone wants to breathe and nobody can
and many say, “We will breathe later.”
And most of them don’t die because they are already dead.

Boredom is counterrevolutionary.

We don’t want a world where the guarantee of not dying
of starvation brings the risk of dying of boredom.

We want to live.

Don’t beg for the right to live — take it.

In a society that has abolished every kind of adventure
the only adventure that remains is to abolish the society.

The liberation of humanity is all or nothing.

Those who make revolutions half way only dig their own graves.

No replastering, the structure is rotten.

Masochism today takes the form of reformism.

Reform my ass.

The revolution is incredible because it’s really happening.

I came, I saw, I was won over.

Run, comrade, the old world is behind you!

Quick!

If we only have enough time . . .

In any case, no regrets!

Already ten days of happiness.

Live in the moment.

Comrades, if everyone did like us . . .

We will ask nothing. We will demand nothing. We will take, occupy.

Down with the state.

When the National Assembly becomes a bourgeois theater, all the bourgeois theaters should be turned into national assemblies.*

[*Written above the entrance of the occupied Odéon Theater]

Referendum: whether we vote yes or no, it turns us into suckers.

It’s painful to submit to our bosses;
it’s even more stupid to choose them.

Let’s not change bosses, let’s change life.

Don’t liberate me — I’ll take care of that.

I’m not a servant of the people (much less of their
self-appointed leaders). Let the people serve themselves.

Abolish class society.

Nature created neither servants nor masters.
I want neither to rule nor to be ruled.

We will have good masters as soon as everyone is their own.

“In revolution there are two types of people:
those who make it and those who profit from it.”
(Napoleon)

Warning: ambitious careerists may now be disguised as “progressives.”

Don’t be taken in by the politicos and their filthy demagogy.
We must rely on ourselves.
Socialism without freedom is a barracks.

All power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

We want structures that serve people, not people serving structures.

The revolution doesn’t belong to the committees, it’s yours.

Politics is in the streets.

Barricades close the streets but open the way.

Our hope can come only from the hopeless.

A proletarian is someone who has no power over his life and knows it.

Never work.

People who work get bored when they don’t work.
People who don’t work never get bored.

Workers of all countries, enjoy!

Since 1936 I have fought for wage increases.
My father before me fought for wage increases.
Now I have a TV, a fridge, a Volkswagen.
Yet my whole life has been a drag.
Don’t negotiate with the bosses. Abolish them.

The boss needs you, you don’t need the boss.

By stopping our machines together we will demonstrate their weakness.

Occupy the factories.

Power to the workers councils.
(an enragé)

Power to the enragés councils.
(a worker)

Worker: You may be only 25 years old,
but your union dates from the last century.

Labor unions are whorehouses.

Comrades, let’s lynch Séguy!*

[*Georges Séguy, head bureaucrat of the Communist Party-dominated labor union]

Please leave the Communist Party as clean on leaving
it as you would like to find it on entering.

Stalinists, your children are with us!

Man is neither Rousseau’s noble savage nor
the Church’s or La Rochefoucauld’s depraved sinner.
He is violent when oppressed, gentle when free.

Conflict is the origin of everything.
(Heraclitus)

If we have to resort to force, don’t sit on the fence.

Be cruel.

Humanity won’t be happy till the last capitalist is hung
with the guts of the last bureaucrat.

When the last sociologist has been hung with the guts of
the last bureaucrat, will we still have “problems”?

The passion of destruction is a creative joy.
(Bakunin)

A single nonrevolutionary weekend is infinitely more
bloody than a month of total revolution.

The tears of philistines are the nectar of the gods.

This concerns everyone.

We are all German Jews.

We refuse to be highrised, diplomaed, licensed,
inventoried, registered, indoctrinated, suburbanized,
sermonized, beaten, telemanipulated, gassed, booked.

We are all “undesirables.”

We must remain “unadapted.”

The forest precedes man, the desert follows him.

Under the paving stones, the beach.

Concrete breeds apathy.

Coming soon to this location: charming ruins.

Beautiful, maybe not, but O how charming: life versus survival.

“My aim is to agitate and disturb people.
I’m not selling bread, I’m selling yeast.”
(Unamuno)

Conservatism is a synonym for rottenness and ugliness.

You are hollow.

You will end up dying of comfort.

Hide yourself, object!

No to coat-and-tie revolution.

A revolution that requires us to sacrifice
ourselves for it is Papa’s revolution.

Revolution ceases to be the moment it calls for self-sacrifice.

The prospect of finding pleasure tomorrow will
never compensate for today’s boredom.

When people notice they are bored, they stop being bored.

Happiness is a new idea.

Live without dead time.

Those who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring
to everyday reality have a corpse in their mouth.

Culture is an inversion of life.

Poetry is in the streets…..(SLUMS, GHETTO)

The most beautiful sculpture is a paving stone thrown at a cop’s head.

Art is dead, don’t consume its corpse.

Art is dead, let’s liberate our everyday life.

Art is dead, Godard can’t change that.

Permanent cultural vibration.

We want a wild and ephemeral music.
We propose a fundamental regeneration:
concert strikes,
sound gatherings with collective investigation.
Abolish copyrights: sound structures belong to everyone.

Anarchy is me.

Revolution, I love you.


Practice wishful thinking.

I declare a permanent state of happiness.

Be realistic, demand the impossible.

Power to the imagination.

Those who lack imagination cannot imagine what is lacking.

Imagination is not a gift, it must be conquered.
(Breton)

Action must not be a reaction, but a creation.

Action enables us to overcome divisions and find solutions.

Exaggeration is the beginning of invention.

The enemy of movement is skepticism. Everything that has been realized
comes from dynamism, which comes from spontaneity.

“You must bear a chaos inside you to give birth to a dancing star.” (Nietzsche)

Chance must be systematically explored.

open your mind as often as your fly.

“Every view of things that is not strange is false.”
(Valéry)

Life is elsewhere.

Forget everything you’ve been taught. Start by dreaming.

Form dream committees.

Dare! This word contains all the politics of the present moment. (Saint-Just)

Arise, ye wretched of the university.

Rape your Alma Mater.

Professors, you are as senile as your culture, your modernism
is nothing but the modernization of the police.

We refuse the role assigned to us: we will not be trained as police dogs.

We don’t want to be the watchdogs or servants of capitalism.

Exams = servility, social promotion, hierarchical society.

When examined, answer with questions.

Insolence is the new revolutionary weapon.

Every teacher is taught, everyone taught teaches.

Thought that stagnates rots.

To call in question the society you “live” in, you must first
be capable of calling yourself in question.

Take revolution seriously, but don’t take yourself seriously.

The walls have ears. Your ears have walls.

Making revolution also means breaking our internal chains.

A cop sleeps inside each one of us. We must kill him.

Neither God nor master.

If God existed it would be necessary to abolish him.

How can you think freely in the shadow of a chapel?

I suspect God of being a leftist intellectual.

Going through the motions kills the emotions.

Struggle against the emotional fixations that paralyze our potentials. (Committee of Women on the Path of Liberation)

Constraints imposed on pleasure incite the
pleasure of living without constraints.

The more I make love, the more I want to make revolution.
The more I make revolution, the more I want to make love.

SEX: It’s okay, says Mao, as long as you don’t do it too often.

Comrades, 5 hours of sleep a day is indispensable:
we need you for the revolution.

Embrace your love without dropping your guard.

Comrades, people are making love in the Poli Sci
classrooms, not only in the fields.

Revolutionary women are more beautiful.

The young make love, the old make obscene gestures.

Love one another.

Whoever speaks of love destroys love.

The more you consume, the less you live.

Commodities are the opium of the people.

Burn commodities.

You can’t buy happiness. Steal it.

Are you a consumer or a participant?

To be free in 1968 means to participate.

I participate.
You participate.
He participates.
We participate.
They profit.

The golden age was the age when gold didn’t reign.

“The cause of all wars, riots and injustices is the existence of property.” (St. Augustine)

Happiness is hanging your landlord.

Millionaires of the world unite. The wind is turning.

The economy is wounded — I hope it dies!

How sad to love money.

You too can steal.

“Amnesty: An act in which the rulers
pardon the injustices they have committed.”
(Ambrose Bierce)*

[*The definition in Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary is actually: “Amnesty: The state’s
magnanimity to those offenders whom it would be too expensive to punish.”]

Abolish alienation.

Obedience begins with consciousness;
consciousness begins with disobedience.

First, disobey; then write on the walls.

I have something to say but I don’t know what.

Freedom is the right to silence.

Long live communication, down with telecommunication.

You, my comrade, you who I was unaware of amid the tumult, you who are throttled, afraid, suffocated — come, talk to us.

Talk to your neighbors.

Yell.
Create.
Flourish.
Multiply.

Look in front of you!!!

Revolution is an INITIATIVE.

Comrades, stop applauding, the spectacle is everywhere.

Don’t get caught up in the spectacle of opposition. Oppose the spectacle.

Down with spectacle-commodity society.

Down with journalists and those who cater to them.

Only the truth is revolutionary.

No forbidding allowed.

Freedom is the crime that contains all crimes. It is our ultimate weapon.

The freedom of others extends mine infinitely.

No freedom for the enemies of freedom.

Open the gates of the asylums, prisons and other faculties.

Open the windows of your heart.

To hell with boundaries.

You can no longer sleep quietly once you’ve suddenly opened your eyes.

The future will only contain what we put into it now.

Fuck World Trade

No National ID, No Police State
^if you live in the states, since they're trying to issue that National ID thing.

This is one my friend and I were theoretically going to put on a school...
Success Cannot Be Measured by Productivity
Teach Justice, Not Greed

Burn the Rich

You Eat, We Starve

Chiapas!

People Before Profit

Human Need, Not Corporate Greed


Yeah, a lot of these are hashed out a bit, or old, or whatever, but they still carry the same impact.

and, if you were to theoretically put a message on a brick and visit a church, you could use an Oscar Romero quote:
"A church that does not join the poor, in order to speak out from the side of the poor against the injustices committed against them, is not the true church of Jesus Christ."
