Against the Logic of Submission: Neither

...Intellectualism nor Stupidity.

"One of the most fundamental ways people have been kept in ghetto-ized resource identities is that which created the role of the intellectual, the specialist in the use of what is called intelligence. But the intellectual is not so much defined by the actual meaning of "intelligence" as by how deeply they traded and adapted the depth of their individuality for the surfaces of high institutionalization."



Note: I'm sharing this to bring the temp of this forum up a notch or three. Heh. This one goes out to the 'Registrants' who are truly under "The Jackboot."

Neither Intellectualism Nor Stupidity

The Subversion of Existence


One quote:
"An understanding of how the decision to live in revolt against the present reality relates to desire, relationships, love and friendship requires an understanding of how such a decision transforms those who make it. The logic of submission — the logic that the social order seeks to impose on the exploited — is a logic of passivity, of resignation to the mediocre existence offered by this order. According to this logic, life is something that happens to us, that we simply “make the best of”, a perspective that defeats us before we’ve begun to struggle.

"But some of us burn with an energy that goads us towards something else, something different. In our burning we suffer anguish from every humiliation that the present world imposes on us. We cannot resign, accept our place and content ourselves with just getting by. Moved to decisive action by our passion, against all the odds we come to view life differently — or more precisely, to live differently.

"A social reality exists. It is smothering the planet with commodities and control, imposing a pathetic and miserable existence of enslavement to authority and the market everywhere. Starting from a refusal of this imposed existence, a decision to rise up against it, we are faced with the necessity of creating our lives as our own, of projecting them. We are posing ourselves a most difficult task: the transformation of ourselves, of our relationships and of existence itself."
