It’s Time to Disorganize!
If
there’s anything that the failures of the left,
particularly the unions (from the UAW, AFL-CIO, to the IWW), it’s
that any ‘revolutionary’ theory that doesn’t
question the key elements of civilization is going to do nothing
more than shift the social order to a slightly ‘modified’
version. That is if they work at all.
We can no longer look
to any kind of reform for an end to the death machine that is
civilization. It has long been an embedded idea in
‘revolutionary’ strands that success requires
organization. The age-old calls of the Wobblies, “It’s
time to organize!” are ringing hollow as the leftist milieu
grinds them into the pages of dead social movements in radical
history.
What has our past of ‘organization’
brought us? We can say that it has brought us some success
because those at the top of the newly created social hierarchies
tell us we have. Organization pushes us back into the same
top-down hierarchies that we are trying to revolt against and
erase. What will this bring us? Goodbye old boss, hello to the
new, any difference? Maybe there’ll be a mild greening (or
Redding more likely), but it’s still the same social order,
which generally is unquestioning of destructive civilized
lifestyles. But even in the short run they offer little more than
pushing forward new leaders to tell us how and when to act out
and how and when we’ve won. It’s getting us nowhere.
Little, lefty reformist games comprised of a lot of talk and no
action. ‘Consensus’ meetings held behind closed doors
by chosen or predetermined delegates will layout the guidelines
of how much reform the masses will stand behind. We have no
choice in the matter and don’t realize the two-faced
realities of those disposing of empty rhetoric. It has not and
will not get us anywhere.
If we do truly desire an end to the
civilized social order, we can only do so by enacting insurgence
and revolt by means that keep no aspect of the current social
order, or push for a system that mirrors this. The only hope we
have is for spontaneous acts of revolt to come from the passions
and rage of individuals. No top down orders or ‘plans for
action’ can wake the insurgent drowned out by the totality
of civilized thought.
The only true and successful revolution
will not be brought about by predetermined games of give, give,
borrow, silent marches and banners, and especially new
hierarchies. It will come from the hearts of those who bear the
blows of civilization (which is all of us, including non-humans).
Those whose dreams are shattered, those who will never life
autonomously, unrestrained from the totality of the civilized
concrete cages we are born into. Those who have been shut off at
birth from their birthright to flourish as individuals and a
community, and from the community of Nature that would offer them
more love than we can conceive in our current downtrodden state.
The failures of all hierarchies are becoming clearer daily.
The constant collapse of the social order from it’s
overbearing weight will draw more to find their catalyzing
points, and thus to their own revolts. Insurgence is rising, and
civilization is falling. Give it the final shove by using your
own words and actions. Breaking the spell of civilized order is
the only way to finish off Leviathan, and everyday is bringing us
closer.
