careless

Sit carefully in my anger and 
patterns will emerge like smoke 

Pendulums rise swing as radiowaves bounce towards reality broken

Breathe in and you’ll understand 
emergency rooms and emergency people 

Bullshit? I can handle it. 
Unrequited? I can handle it. 
But DON’T play with my heart. 

Sit carefully with my bittersweets
and patterns will emerge like diamonds

Monthly Review | The New Denial of Imperialism on the Left

Today, the imperialist world system is both intensifying world exploitation and leading us to the brink of global annihilation via a planetary ecological emergency and the growing likelihood of a boundless thermonuclear war. For thinkers on the left in these circumstances to argue that anti-imperialism is the enemy is to vote for imperialism, barbarism, and exterminism.

Martin (Burkhard Garweg), Underground RAF Member: Greetings from Illegality

“The term terror has nothing to do with revolutionary counter-violence, which is revolutionary self-defense, of the emancipatory movements of history, which is directed exclusively and specifically against the rulers. Terror describes indiscriminate violence to enforce rule or to secure it. The term “terrorists” in bourgeois society would experience reality content as self-incrimination and description of the rulers, among other things, and would then be a meaningful term instead of a manipulative phrase. Today, the term “terrorist” is above all a means of rule, exploitation, repression, Frontex regime, class justice and prison system; Hunger, wars, coups and military dictatorships under the direction of the capitalist centers and with the historical responsibility of every German federal government: the millions of dead can no longer be counted – terror has nothing to do with us, but a lot to do with them and their system.”
