In May 1968 brother priests Daniel and Philip Berrigan with seven others burned draft board records in Catonsville, MD, with homemade napalm, setting the template for Plowshares's nonviolent civil disobedience.  At his trial, Daniel said, “Our apologies, good friends, for the fracture of good order, the burning of paper instead of children.”

Morris, 'Why I Am a Socialist'

Internet History Sourcebooks

I will say what I mean by being a Socialist, since I am told that the word no longer expresses definitely and with certainty what it did ten years ago. Well, what I mean by Socialism is a condition of society in which there should be neither rich nor poor, neither master nor master's man, neither idle nor overworked, neither brain­slack brain workers, nor heart­sick hand workers, in a word, in which all men would be living in equality of condition, and would manage their affairs unwastefully, and with the full consciousness that harm to one would mean harm to all-the realisation at last of the meaning of the word COMMONWEALTH .

Gangsters


The gangsters of the world
Are riding high.
It's not the underworld
Of which they speak.
They leave that loot to smaller fry.
Why should they great Capone's
Fallen headpiece seek
When stolen crowns
Sit easier on the head -
Or Ethiopia's band of gold
For higher prices
On the marked can be sold-
Or Iraq oil -
Than any vice or bootleg crown of old?
The gangsters of the world ride high -
But not small fry.

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

– Major General Smedley Butler, who died the most decorated US Marine in American history, in a speech given in 1933

Zizek on the proletariat

Today's historical situation does not compel us to drop the notion of the proletariat, of the proletarian position; on the contrary, it compels us to radicalize it to an existential level well beyond Marx' s imagination. We need a more radical notion of the proletarian subject, a subject reduced to the evanescent point of the Cartesian cogito, deprived of its substantial content. For this reason, the new emancipatory politics will no longer be the act of a particular social agent, but an explosive combination of different agents. The ethico-political challenge is to recognize ourselves in this figure - in a way, we are all excluded, from nature as well as from our symbolic substance . Today, we are all potentially a Homo Sacer, and the only way to stop actually becoming one is to act preventively.

‘Don’t get me wrong. I’m not recommending one form of love over another. I don’t know if prudent or reckless love is the better, monied or penniless love the surer, heterosexual or homosexual love the sexier, married or unmarried love the stronger. I may be tempted towards didacticism, but this isn’t an advice column. I can’t tell you whether or not you’re in love. If you need ask, then you probably aren’t, that’s my only advice… But I can tell you why to love. Because the history of the world, which only stops at the half-house of love to bulldoze it into rubble, is ridiculous without it. The history of the world becomes brutally self-important without love. Our random mutation is essential because it is unnecessary. Love won’t change the history of the world (that nonsense about Cleopatra’s nose is strictly for sentimentalists), but it will do something much more important: teach us to stand up to history, to ignore its chin-out strut. I don’t accept your terms, love says; sorry, you don’t impress, and by the way what a silly uniform you’re wearing. Of course, we don’t fall in love to help out with the world’s ego problem; yet this is one of love’s surer effects.’

    Love and truth, that's the vital connection, love and truth. [. . .] How you cuddle in the dark governs how you see the history of the world. 

Julian Barnes, A History of the World in 10 ½ Chapters, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1989, p. 238.

“This movement to which he had dedicated his life could not be snuffed out by a few opportunists, a sackful of dollars and a cunt in the Kremlin. It was as old and as strong as the human spirit itself. It would come back, with fresh vigour, soon, very soon. It might have a different name, a different banner. But men and women would always want to walk that path, that tricky uphill path across the river of stones and through the damp cloud, because they knew that at the end they would burst into the bright sunshine and see the mountain top clear above them. Men and women dreamed of that moment. They would link arms again. They would have a new song – no longer ‘Stepping the Red Pathway’ as it had been on Rykosha Mountain. But they would sing this new song to the old tune. And they would gather themselves to make that mighty second jump. Then the ground would shake and all the capitalists and imperialists and plant-loving Fascists and filth and scum and renegades and fucking intellectuals and boy prosecutors and Judases with birdshit on their skulls would shit themselves one final, mighty time.” Julian Barnes, The Porcupine. p. 115.

Years, fingers folded

We are kind because it makes us feel good about ourselves: kindly people are self-approbation junkies. Encountering this argument in the 1730s, the philosopher Francis Hutcheson dispatched it briskly: “If this is self-love, be it so. . . . Nothing can be better than this self-love, nothing more generous.” In Emile, Rousseau made the same point in greater psychological detail. Emile’s kindness, Rousseau shows, is an extension of his amour de soi (natural self-love). Emile “enjoys his pitié” because it expresses his vitality; only the self-caring child who enjoys being alive will “seek to extend his being and enjoyments” to others. Rousseau’s portrait of Emile shows very well why it is kindness that is the most envied human attribute. People think that they envy other people for their success, money, fame, when in fact it is kindness that is most envied, because it is the strongest indicator of people’s well-being, their pleasure in existence. Adam Phillips and Barbara Taylor, On Kindness, NY: Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, p. 111.

The Kinks' Secret Sessions has some gems and faves in different, rawer versions. Here's one:

"There’s a more than critical criticism that’s like seeing things—a gift of having been given to love things and how things look and how and what things see. It’s not that you don’t see crisis—cell blocks made out of the general meadow, and all the luxurious destitution and ge(n)ocidal meanness, the theft of beauty and water, the policing of everyday people and their everyday chances. It’s just that all this always seems so small and contingent against the inescapable backdrop of constant escape—which is the other crisis, that is before the first crisis, calling it into being and question. The ones who stay in that running away study and celebrate its violently ludic authenticity, the historicity that sends us into the old-new division and collection of words and sets, passing on and through, as incessant staging and preparation. This necessity and immensity of the alternative surrounds and aerates the contained, contingent fixity of the standard."--Fred Moten

Foucault, in 'Friendship as a Way of Life',' on "what makes homosexuality “disturbing”: the homosexual mode of life, much more than the sexual act itself. To imagine a sexual act that doesn’t conform to law or nature is not what disturbs people. But that individuals are beginning to love one another -- there’s the problem. The institution is caught in a contradiction; affective intensities traverse it which at one and the same time keep it going and shake it up. Look at the army, where love between men is ceaselessly provoked [appele] and shamed. Institutional codes can’t validate these relations with multiple intensities, variable colors, imperceptible movements and changing forms. These relations sbort-circuit it and introduce love where there’s supposed to be only law, rule, or habit." :-)

In the early 70s, when demands for greater popular participation started rearing their alarming heads, a worried member of the US ruling elite, David Rockefeller of the Chase Manhattan Bank, founded the Trilateral Commission to bring together the elite of the three industrialized continents of the capitalist world. Its reports on the threat the new movements posed for the parliamentary system aimed to put ruling institutions on the alert. It organized annual gatherings of leading politicians, industrialists, financiers and academics to provide a mechanism to develop common responses. The Trilateral Commission led to the establishment of the Davos-based World Economic Forum.

Poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action. Poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be thought. The farthest horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems, carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives. Audre Lorde, "Poetry is not a Luxury," Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches (Freedom, Ca: The Crossing Press, 1984), p. 38.

CHARENTON [*] (excerpt)

translated from the Galician by Erín Moure

and now the panopticon is a ruin

but never mind for i can imagine the landscape however i want
if a desert, it’ll be a tell
if rich with vegetation, wisteria will grow over the buildings
if in Antarctica, it’ll be a phantasmagoria of ice

some folks (working women, crazies, schoolchildren, poets) still live there, they don’t realize no one guards them

for in times of plenitude, systems of domination don’t pay attention any more to populations, it’s not their job to feed them

it has to do with what you were saying, that “capital is illiterate”

i have to get out:

exit biology, remain in my body

Positive, wishful thinking is a worthless, hypocritical delusion if you eagerly participate in the reproduction of a psychopathic society. “Mary Pierce, a woman who claimed she was filled with great love for everyone in the world, was killed today by a man who says he didn't know that.” (George Carlin)

Perhaps it's true that only through agreeing to play by the rules and not offend the delicate sensibilities of the middle-class will the Bernie movement become a true political majority. But it's not clear what's to be gained from such growth, if in exchange we make sure to refrain from doing anything that disrupts the smooth reproduction of the status quo. The filling of U.S. voting booths and streets with millions of people doing little but complying is unlikely to bring even mild reform. No, to do that we'll have to resort to the old strategies of the strike, the blockade, sabotage and — one hopes — the occupation and expropriation of private property.
