Uprisings Today
Once again, the “Brave New World” of our oppressors is turning to ashes before their very eyes. France, Indonesia, Nepal. Images full of rage. The demolition of a “castle” that they try to convince us will never fall.
Antiviolence: The response of the social base against Authority.
From France to Indonesia and Nepal, the social base is rebelling against miserable living conditions, daily violence from the bosses (both left and right), and the cops. The state and capital are being targeted. In Nepal, the Parliament was set on fire. The Vice President and Minister of Finance, Bharat Paudel, is facing the people’s wrath. A world that robs people every day in order to enrich itself and impose its domination. People block the ring road around Paris, the busiest urban highway in Europe, and railway stations and clash with the cops. Shortly before, violent protests erupt in California against the mass abduction and deportation of immigrants.
With the hoodies or with the ties
Domestic mass media, in perfect cooperation with the entire political spectrum, demonstrate how they present events as dictated by their agenda at any given time. In times of social unrest, innocent headlines adorn the news about foreign affairs…
“Popular uprising in France,” “Generation Z explains itself.” As soon as the same events occur in Greece, they seem to change in essence… “Undercovers, provocateurs, government agents” and other such mudslinging spews from the mouths of journalists about the rebels who clash in demonstrations and protests in cities across Greece. In other words, they are trying to demonize social antiviolence here, fearing a widespread climate of questioning their dominance.
Justice is with the insurgents
So we conclude that individual insurgency is not a beautiful fairy tale we have invented.
From a small clash with the cops in Exarchia to the widespread clashes in the centre of Athens, the thirst for freedom exists within us. Let’s ignore the mainstream and social media that try to prevent us from comprehending reality. Let’s clash with the beast.
Every individual, every affinity group, every collective has power.
