Revolt Revolt to Survive!

Chris, 24. Constantly tired and perpetually revolting. No gods, no masters, queer utopias only. I traded flowers and pastels for fire and riots. Anarchafeminist x.

This should be the consensus on the left at this point. Sanders isn't perfect, but he's the best the American political system will probably ever allow. Yes, capitalism will be maintained and the military industrial complex will continue with its rampant imperialism. But let's be real: universal healthcare, a green new deal, increased employee ownership of corporations, and other social democratic policies would be helpful for a lot of people were they to be codified into law. We believe in the opposite of accelerationism: people need the time and resources to effectively radicalize and organize, and the double-edged sword that is social democracy (it's "the best capitalism can be", but it still has lots of weaknesses and is constantly in danger of being dismantled by the capitalist class) will sooner or later show its limitations and people will push further. The radical 60s -- scaffolding off of the Keynesian reforms of the decades preceding it -- is a testament to anti-accelerationism. Yes, social democracy "saves capitalism from its own excesses", but it also pulls the Overton Window leftward (which is desperately needed) and opens a doorway for further radicalization among the population. We need a Sanders win in 2020.

I use too many devices to keep track of all the panels I’ve saved of “Peter flirting with men or otherwise indicating he’d be dtf”, so fuck it, I’m going to stick them all on this post as I rediscover them.

This shit is why Spider-Man can never join the Defenders and also why he is a widely acknowledged menace.

Gilles Deleuze

[vilicity]

“Capitalism institutes or restores all sorts of residual and artificial, imaginary, or symbolic territorialities, thereby attempting, as best it can, to recede, to rechannel persons who have been defined in terms of abstract quantities. Everything returns or recurs: States, nations, families. That is what makes the ideology of capitalism “a motley painting of everything that has ever been believed.””

— Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari, Anti-Oedipus

[freelance-philosopher]

Forming grammatically correct sentences is for the normal individual the prerequisite for any submission to social laws. No one is supposed to be ignorant of grammaticality; those who are belong in special institutions. The unity of language is fundamentally political.

Gilles Deleuze, A Thousand Plateaus (via freelance-philosopher)

“…writing with someone else becomes completely natural. It’s just a question of something passing through you, a current, which alone has a proper name. Even when you think you’re writing on your own, you’re always doing it with someone else you can’t always name.”

- Gilles Deleuze, On Philosophy

[proustiansleep]

Our decadence, our degeneration is demonstrated by the way we feel the need to introduce everywhere anguish, solitude, guilt, the drama of communication, the whole tragic nature of interiority. […] "Schizo-laughter" or revolutionary joy is what comes out of great books, not the anguishes of our petty narcissism or the terrors of our guilt. An indescribable joy always rushes out of great books, even when they speak of ugly, hopeless or terrifying things. Every great book is already bringing about transmutation and making tomorrow’s healthiness.It is impossible not to laugh when codes are jammed up.
