Strike While the iron is HOT!

Categories: Announcements, Open Mic, Reflections

At a time When the media’s coverage seems aimed to splinter and discredit:
I offer one person’s ideas that NOW is the time to galvanize our solidarity and Ignore the spectre of Main Stream Media propaganda
The Iron is HOT; This is the time to Strike!
A few words of rabble rousing to counter some bullshit media coverage and opinion:

If you are here to resist this class warfare:
DO NOT RUN!
Step forward!
These are not your family!
These ARe your occupiers!
By their very presence reinforcing your slavery
to wages
to property
not to you
but
to
the
state

They serve and protect The rights of capital,
Not People!
But they are Cowards and only as strong as their Weakest link!
They think they can silence us by
engaging in psychological propaganda tactics to splinter and discredit us!

Do not for forget that By sheer force of WILL and faith and CO-Operation
a critical mass of will at that tens of thousand of protesters shut down the 5th largest port in the country peacefully by nothing more than refusing to work and

waking down the street in celebration of liberty together.

This is important!

How many of you were hungry or bored that day?
If you were; did a new friend glady help you with your need?
How many more days do you think you and your new friends could spend off of ‘work’ freely sharing that which was needed by the other?

How many hour did you spend not worrying about money or rent?
I’mm willing to be the one to say it’s good; but not good enough; its not enough.
Not to insult.
But how many MORE hours could we spend devising and constructing voluntary mutaul support rather than feeling coerced to hours of divisive and competitive labor that

furthers the insidious psychological disease of capitalism?
How many hours?
How many would it take?
One more a week from a thousand of us?
Ten thousand
A hundred thousand?
A million?

How many would it take?
How many?

Untill the bourgeoisie had no more labor to buy
off of us , the proletariat
What if we all valued our time more than money or currency could repesent?

Could they still choose to enslave use ?
Or could we collectively refuse to be enslaved
By simply refusing to be coerced!
To be scared or terrorized!

They will only intimidate us with their gestapo tactics as long as we
LET THEM!
REMEMBER!
OUr appreciattion for nuance and novelty is greater than theirs!
our lack of structure allows us to rapidly
and independently
react to changing circumstance and reform in many differnet directions rather than just one.
we are not automatons!
They are!

Use that against them!

WE
have hearts
AND minds!

They have tear gas!
we have Gas masks and vinegar!
They have radios and jargon and codes!
So do we!

we approach each encounter with a perspective of heart and mind.
and beacasue we do so; we can negotiate reality in new and
un
expected
ways
we can splinter and regroup quicker than they understand because they are dominant paradigm!
we are not!
If they expect us to dress and act a certain way we can fulfill or disappoint that expectation in dramatic and strategically dis-attractign ways.

how about a day glo bloc?
or a tye dye decoy bloc?

the answer is not paranoia
its awareness, intuition and pronoia
not blind ass faith as the zeitgest would loike you to believe.
its critical situational awareness that takes into account a concept of co operation, consensus, and communication rathen than heirarchy, majority and beauracracy

we are a voluntary association of indiviuduals that has our own interests at heart.
beacause we refuse to organize
beacuse we refuse to assimilate
we shall remain
beyond what the meda can portay us as
We shall remain
as we Must!
never Static!
Eccentric!
Entropic!
WE shall be the ever shifting
mutating
organic mass of voluntary co operation that cannot be spoken for by one person even myself!

One think we stated strongly despite our many differnt polital ideologies is that we refused to be your wage-slave if but for even 6-8 hours on the day of the general

Strike!

Think about how many hours of our own lives we liberated by the simple(?) act of attending the general strike in our own ways?!

How many more hours could you spend CO-operating with new member of your community that shares common and mutal interests?

How many hours?
how many hours are you going to spend creating a community today?

How many this Week?
This Month?
This Year?

What if we spent as much time helping each other and Co-operating and working toward common goals as we did working to help a select few gain capital?

Seriously?

20 hrs a week building community and not making or spending money.
That’s 2 and a half days of 8 hr a day 40hr a a week wage ‘full time’ wage slavery!

If you liberated even 6-8 hours of your life from the toil of wages this week
by attending the marches and demonstrations in Oakland or even by calling in sick in solidarity
Consider the idea that if you did that twice a week
You’d be spending HALF as much time Forging and Tempering the chains of slavery as Breaking and Throwing them off!

Do you think that if enough of us did this, would the businesses would be able to continue to enslave us thru wages?

What if you spent 4 ‘work’ days a month focusing on social gatherings and community building outside of captial exchange?
What kind of world would you live in at the end of the month?

How much less money would you need to spend to fulfill your basic human needs?

Maybe:
just maybe,
if we spent Half as much time working together as fighting we’d be active agent in a creating a reality where capital has less power over our lives.

Just a thought.

please share and dis-assemble it and distribute this if you so wish.

    Generally speaking, when you use a font that large, it’s considered yelling…. Nobody listens to someone who is yelling. It’s just too much trouble.
