You Keep It In

You Keep It In

you stoke the forge and build your first tools
you use it, she tells you. that heat.
you use your first tools to build better tools
of your own design;

you find a name for the thing that you are for the things that you do
for the feeling when the jackals close in

You keep it in.

let it lick out a safe amount in times of trouble
a scorching tongue of insult and derision
a release valve
Can't talk to you when you're like this
well
no That's the point, you walking corpse

you keep it in and sit under the trees in calm moments think

I could detonate
turn my world to ash
and they wouldn't care.

You keep that in, too.

but it stokes the fires. past white hot
from anger to fury to rage

The Real Insurrection Was Within Us All Along

The Real Insurrection Was Within Us All Along

So many many calls for recruitment, proselytizing, and radicalization of the so called masses have been made. So many have put their faith into the teleological ideas around revolution, that all of „our“ collective efforts will lead and have led to this one monumental effort
to change the world. So many well-meaning people have spent their days with this hope keeping them going.

We supposedly just have to get enough people together and then it will work!

But curiously it hasn’t happened and there are no signs of ever it ever happening. Because it is nothing but a „leftist“ variant of the dozens upon dozens of prophesied Raptures, Armageddons and other Ends-of-the- World. A distant symbol, an idol without even a physical component.
[continued]
And all that recruitment, all the playing around optics and all the supposedly „revolutionary content“ uploaded onto the internet has not brought anyone or anything closer to this monumental effort, despite all of the ambitions towards it.

Some might propose that this is the right way to go, that we just have to try hard enough and eventually it will happen (maybe just for those a long time after us) and baselessly accuse me of reformism or incrementalism.

But no.

What I propose is this: stop looking into the distant future, stop looking for salvation, stop your utopian yearnings.

Fight.

Fight right the fuck now!

Every day you can fight. What is keeping you?

You do not need a mass movement. What you need is clarity and conviction!

Every single one of us is capable of a myriad of acts of insurrection. Be they violent, be they caring, be they small or big.

[continued]
And don’t fight „for the people“, don’t fight „for the greater good“, don’t fight for anything that demands you to be a follower! Fight for yourself, for your friends, for freedom, for living, for being able to keep going one more day.

The fight will only keep on going. The real insurrection was within us all along.

Let’s get to work.
