“For Oaxaca : WE WILL BE BEAUTIFUL
I will feel alive. I will be
in control of myself.
I will be burning, burning with life—a
lightened candle always in the brink of turning off, burning and
burning, never stopping.
Amidst your sacred buildings
destroyed—debris that will be reflections of a past life thrown away to
the dust bin of history, consumed by the fires of joy and of the heart, I
will—we will—celebrate the nihilistic destructions of values and
constraints. We will be the Virgin Mary ready to give birth to god—again
and again.
Amidst poetry scribbled on the walls of your
streets—poetry written with love, for love is subversion, it is
freedom—we will claim the streets for us, and only for us. We will not
give away any bit of it, for giving away a fraction of it would mean
giving away everything.
We will be in control of ourselves.
Amidst
the ashes of your burning flags—burnt by constraint—less compulsions,
the building blocks of anti-history—we will refuse the spectacle of
gender, race, spirituality, nationality, for we want everything—not a
fragment—for everyone.
Amidst your trampled corpses—military
generals, politicians, and CEOs—we will retaliate your violence with
violence—we will embrace the spirit of militancy—and we will deny you
what you denied us. You seized your power with violence, and maintained
it through violence. It will be time for us to seize it back.
So
beware, beware of trampling on us in your schools, in the workplace,
in the street—beware of trying to annihilate every bit of our
creativity—of trying to convert us in cogs turning as the clock of dead
time clicks at every second. Beware of delivering us death.
We
are many. We are cleaning your shit, studying in your schools, dying in
your offices, making your shoes, building your houses, raising your
children, cooking your food—we are everywhere.
You need us, but
we don't need you.
We will be beautiful. The world will be
beautiful.
We don't have any morality since all of them are
yours—your values to maintain your position.
So do not fuck with
us. Never ever fuck with us.”
— Didedikasikan untuk penduduk Oaxaca, praktisi dan pembangun komune abad-21, dalam perang anti-spectacle. Dedicated to the people of Oaxaca, practitioners and builders of the 21st century communes, in the anti-spectacle. Apa yang bisa kami lakukan di sini adalah memperlebar dan membangun apa yang telah kalian mulai di sana, dengan hidup kami sebagai taruhannya. What can we do here is to widen and build what you've started there, with our lives at stake. Demi cerahnya matahari pagi dan indahnya matahari terbenam; demi bulan dan bintang dan hujan sebagai penyejuknya; kami tak ingin menyerah. For the bright morning sun and beautiful sunsets; after month and stars and rain as penyejuknya; we do not want to give up. Tidak sekarang. Not now. This is the only world that worth fighting for. Long live the Commune of Oaxaca.
