Leaving humanism behind: Notes on zones of indistinction which need no justifica

lort | 29.05.2012 00:00 | Repression | Social Struggles

Every smashed window is a refusal to negotiate, a blow against the being of liberalism, a recognition of the singular structure inherent in the articulation of becomings. To those who deride the inoperative joy in a car set aflame or a burning dumpster, we propose nothing less than to reject their pathetic fossilization of our desires, at all costs. We must negate all representation—in secret. The homogenous impotentiality proposed to us is like a bad joke, and instead of laughter we respond with rupture.

Confronted with those who fail to recognize themselves in our conspiracies of destruction, we offer neither dialogue nor criticism but only our contempt. It is necessary to commence absolutely; not to dream of new ways to organize, but to make manifest the subterranean zones of offensive capacity in the heart of each barricaded hallway. This is a call to social war, not an insistence on mobilization. In the elaboration of desiring-bodies, we destroy those who would have us give up the immanent ecstasy of indifference for the misery of absence.
Our need to desire is less the articulation of a concept than the realization of a line of flight. What's needed is not normalization, and even far less activism, but a putting-into-practice of radical insurrection, a rejection in all forms of the teleology of banality.
The homogenous banality proposed to us is like a bad joke, and instead of laughter we respond with insurrection. It is necessary to commence without illusions; not to dream of new ways to be productive, but to make manifest the subterranean zones of offensive capacity in the heart of each c-clamped pushbar. To those who deride the radical ecstasy in a smashed window or a moment of friendship, we propose nothing less than to reject their pathetic totality, with every weapon at our disposal. Confronted with those who neglect to recognize themselves in our conspiracies of negation, we offer neither criticism nor dialogue but only our contempt.
Our need to riot is less the elaboration of a plan than the setting forth of an event. In the articulation of communes, we shatter those who would have us give up the inoperative joy of rupture for the misery of activism. What's needed is not passivity, and even far less normalization, but a putting-into-practice of immanent crisis, a rejection in all forms of the being of representation. We must negate all fossilization of our desires—for once and for all.
Every burning dumpster is a refusal to organize, a blow against the logic of anarcho-liberalism, a recognition of the singular temporality inherent in the articulation of becomings. This is a call to social war, not an insistence on impotentiality.

Unarmed struggle?

Such words of revolutionary passion and wisdom! Let us take arms together, comrades!

Poetry Cells of Combat

We combatants seek to recover volition and dispel the inauthentic. This can only start from our experience, not from the experience or dogmas of others, although it involves our relationship with a few comrades we must organise into poetry groups. But these 'poetry cells' must maintain there secrecy whilst demonstrating their ability to strike with the flamboyant flame of ACTION!

Actually, i put this post up as a joke. Hence written by "lort"

It was created using an auto-insurrection script generator i found. I just cut and paste it to prove a point that Indymedia will post any fucking shit if it vaguely sounds like it is toeing the party line of anarchism. Then, people will lawd over it and cream their pants in support.

What a joke indymedia is.

What's needed is not activism, and even far less totality, but a putting-into-practice of inoperative social war, a rejection in all forms of the temporality of normalization. Our need to riot is less the setting forth of a project than the articulation of an event. What's needed is not activism, and even far less totality, but a putting-into-practice of inoperative social war, a rejection in all forms of the temporality of normalization. It is necessary to commence without illusions; not to dream of new ways to be productive, but to make manifest the subterranean communes in the heart of each c-clamped pushbar. In the construction of zones of offensive capacity, we negate those who would have us give up the immanent ecstasy of insurrection for the misery of banality.

Indymedia is a comedy site and very silly.

325 site have been happy enough to publish our fake stories for a while now.
Read through the 'reports' and you'll spot the clues.
Here's one to make it easy to start with:

"Solidarity attack for Greece against ‘Commerz’ Bank in Bielefeld (Germany)"

"325 receives and transmits:

17 February 2012

"Solidarity with the revolts in Greece (Bielefeld/Germoney)"

"Our hearts beat for freedom. When we look to Greece where thousands each time more intense rise in revolts against state, capital, social cuts, exploitation and opression and show their anger they beat even faster. In solidarity with those revolting, we want to take part in spreading the uprising here in the nearly pacified territory of capitalism."

"We stand full of passion for a free, solidaritarian society in which everyone self-determines her/his life and in which money has no role when it comes to the question of (basic) needs."

"In deep denial of the ruling system of money, privileges and authority we took our anger against the windows of a ‘Commerz’ bank and an ATM in the city of Bielefeld in the night of the 17th February."

"Anarchist group"
