The Invisible Party

[Djehuti]

There is a brand new concept called the invisible party ( ), a sort of open identity. Compare to the concept faceless resistance, if you have heard of it. Faceless resistance was something that of cource allready were practiced before the term was coined. Through using the concept we managed to point out something common that everyone can be a part of. And so experiences connects that had previously not been communicated. Struggles that before had seemed isolated can now strengthen eachother. This is the absolut opposite to a excluding stance. You have to begin somewhere and in the faceless resistance you can see everyday approaches to class power.

The invisible party is in a corresponding way an open and un-controllable organisatory identity. A "lowest common denominator" [affinity through participation] because every other formalized superstructure would be made superfluous by the stuggle itself.

Just through it's invisibility the party makes visible a simultaneousness and fellowship. Think of the party as a common fist of swarming bees that all contains all the struggles that opposes capital on all work places and throughout the entire society. Struggles that cannot be represented or speak with a voice. In difference to the political democracy that have made the conflict between work and capital to a non-question, the Invisible Party aims directly at the main antagonism. Therethrough you scale away all unessecary fluff and all curtains.

They who knows what it's all about, she who sits beside you on the bus, the guy at 7-eleven, the worker with the dog. It may sound kliché but all of them can be a part of the Invisible Party because it becomes what we make it. See it as a challange and an invitation to action. Make no questions - seak answers!

Spread the concept.

"The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win." — The Communist Manifesto

The resistance, the proletarian movement, cannot hide its aims it must openly declare them. Of course, an "invisible party" may preclude such an action, real action comes from unification and declaration. Without theory and objectives, the proletariat remains a loose cannon of sporadic defiance.

Right there bangin' with Marx's book as soon as someone defiles the theory, huh? Allright, if you wanna play by'rat balls.. Then so be it. But we stand freely to reject and accept his ways as much as we'd like to the victory, and a little "skull-duggery" and rogue-ishness (Also known as Guerrila-tactics) won't hurt the movement, now does it? The attackers can't be... 'traced', well, unless, of course, they brand us with traceable numbers. Heh! But in closing, I'd say I do agree majorly, but now is not the time for dogma. Until then, we'd surely go around like a big goddamn parade in the street, but for now, a certaint finesse is called for here...but you go get k.. be a martyr ;)

This kind of reminds me of Fight Club where everybody knows Ed Norton's character and he gets free shit at stores everywhere he goes.

"Everything is under control, sir"

Haha great stuff!

On the other hand, I think this might be bordering on an anti-organizational, spontaneous revolution type of thing.

While I certainly reject a vanguard with a permanent hierarchy, I do not think we can do this without some kind of cohesive structure.

Something like platformism takes the best from both worlds, although it too has its flaws and needs to be adjusted.

It sounds to me that this Invisible Party actually kind of resembles the definition of class itself. You march and fight in solidarity with people all around the world that you have never met before because you have this "lowest common denominator" as you put it.

In practice, I think that advocating general class consciousness would give results that closely resemble what you describe.

The question is, how do we do that? Who educates and informs people? The communist minority of course! Now the question is, who should organize them...

[anomaly]

The 'invisible party' assumes that all workers actually want to 'march in solidarity' at the present time. Well, unfortunately, this is not the case, atleast not yet. As enigma said, we need something out there to 'spread the word' about communism.

That is, we need a new communist organization. With it, we can have a cohesive body (to steal enigma's term) that can get our message out there to the proletariat. I'm quite certain that if more people knew what communism was, more people would be communists. Myself, I am quite fond of redstar2000's idea as to what this new communist organization should look like.
