Recognizing that:
- This century has only brought for a politics of restoration of the old
capitalism
- We are fighting for the things we won one hundred years ago
- The music has resorted to the outbreaks of the previous century, merely
reproducing the forms and dramatically failing in generating a new content
- Time has been accelerated only for the commodities, and we as humans remain
deeply in the conditions of the past
- And this is why the experience of this discrepancy has resulted in
psychological breakdown, anxiety, depression and suicide;
- Trump had become a president
- Our social spaces, as commons, have shrink beyond recognition, and we are
thrown into the solitude of the private
- As all is being privatized, we have privatized the guilt for the failures in
our lives, ignoring the systemic failures of the contemporary politics
- Eight people, in the 21st century, control wealth equal to half of the planet’s
population
- Art has become meaningless, its exhibiting doesn’t even represent the shame of
its own presentation, it rather disseminates the general melancholy every time
it appears
- Philosophers are only interpreting the disaster of capitalism, offering more
grim scenarios, instead of messiahs, they became our scarecrows, often arrogantly
disassociated from the people
- Discipline and punish is not a function of the system anymore, and that we
have internalized them as our autonomous instincts, we became living prisons,
our own policemen, accountant, judge and fathers and mothers
- What was rational, calculative, has meddled with our desire to the point of
no difference, we can neither fully be satisfied with the positivity of our lives,
neither enjoy the pleasures of its excesses
We declare our program towards the:
- ABOISHING THE 21ST CENTURY, in discourse and in action, recognize our material
condition as not affected by the time that that passed, thus the urgency of the
past century’s revolutions is still immanent
- Unlearning everything that has been instilled onto us by the experience of life
under the generalized conditions of capitalist realism
- Destroying the means of production that only reproduce the conditions of our
enslavement
- Generation of spaces of minimal intensities, linking them globally in a vision
for of a desert of minimal freedoms with an unlimited potential for expansion
- The invention of a new production that will emerge from the desert on which a
new community, defined by the absolute lack of heritage and privilege, will force
the creation of new means of production, ones that will reproduce our freedom
- Thinking in terms of immediacy, of real non-fetishized conditions of our
existence and immediate interests bound by collective material idealism
- Pursuing of a post-philosophical exchange of knowledge functional for a general
emancipation of instincts through transformative practice
- Reemerging of health-supporting senses of inter-individual communicational,
sexual, cultural and political intercourse out of communized desire for the
environment
- Enable a dreamer’s society freed from the calculative every-day dictate of
capital
- Bring the future into the present and shape it outside the double blackmail
of acceleration and primitivism
- Absolute negation of almost everything existing
