Happy May Day crew. World is turning to ash but we carry the hope of a new one in our hearts. Much love and friendship.

Bakunin;

We, on the contrary, must awaken and foment all the dynamic passions of the people. We must bring forth anarchy, and in the midst of the popular tempest, we must be the invisible pilots guiding the Revolution, not by any kind of overt power but by the collective dictatorship of all our allies [members of the anarchist vanguard organization International Alliance of Social Democracy], a dictatorship without tricks, without official titles, without official rights, and therefore all the more powerful, as it does not carry the trappings of power. This is the only dictatorship I will accept, but in order to act, it must first be created, it must be prepared and organized in advance, for it will not come into being by itself, neither by discussions, nor by theoretical disputations, nor by mass propaganda meetings...

If you will build this collective and invisible power you will triumph; the well-directed revolution will succeed. Otherwise, it will not! ! If you will play around with welfare committees, with official dictatorship, then the reaction which you yourself have built will engulf you ... who are already talking yourselves into becoming the Dantons, the Robespierres, and the Saint-Justs of revolutionary socialism, and you are already preparing your beautiful speeches, your brilliant “coups d'états,” which you will suddenly foist on an astonished world...

One thing is needful. -- To "give style" to one’s character-- a great and rare art! It is practiced by those who survey all the strengths and weaknesses of their nature and then fit them into an artistic plan until every one of them appears as art and reason and even weaknesses delight the eye. Here a large mass of second nature has been added; there a piece of original nature has been removed -- both times through long practice and daily work at it. Here the ugly that could not be removed is concealed; there it has been reinterpreted and made sublime. Much that is vague and resisted shaping has been saved and exploited for distant views; it is meant to beckon toward the far and immeasurable. In the end, when the work is finished, it becomes evident how the constraint of a single taste governed and formed everything large and small. Whether this taste was good or bad is less important than one might suppose, if only it was a single taste!
Nietzsche, The Gay Science, §290

still occasionally on the poetry shit, first draft of some ramblings

my issue is
that i sometimes forget to breathe.
my lungs, like trees in the autumn
holding onto it’s leaves.

the last gasp of life
before it’s regeneration, of cycle
before the winter comes,
And the earth takes it’s new wife.

the celebration returns,
the capillaries find novelty
in it’s promise: oxygen obtains new form,
a joyous rapture of biology—
in a renewal of the vow,
for existence.

Peter Watkins has died at 90. A genius and radical filmmaker. His Edvard Munch biopic and La Commune are some of the greatest pictures we've ever had. RIP.
