MANIFESTO OF SURREALISMMANIFESTO OF SURREALISM

BY

ANDRÉ BRETON

(1924)

So strong is the belief in life, in what is most fragile in life – real life, I mean – that in the end this belief is lost. Man, that inveterate dreamer, daily more discontent with his destiny, has trouble assessing the objects he has been led to use, objects that his nonchalance has brought his way, or that he has earned through his own efforts, almost always through his own efforts, for he has agreed to work, at least he has not refused to try his luck (or what he calls his luck!). At this point he feels extremely modest: he knows what women he has had, what silly affairs he has been involved in; he is unimpressed by his wealth or his poverty, in this respect he is still a newborn babe and, as for the approval of his conscience, I confess that he does very nicely without it. If he still retains a certain lucidity, all he can do is turn back toward his childhood which, however his guides and mentors may have botched it, still strikes him as somehow charming. There, the absence of any known restrictions allows him the perspective of several lives lived at once; this illusion becomes firmly rooted within him; now he is only interested in the fleeting, the extreme facility of everything. Children set off each day without a worry in the world. Everything is near at hand, the worst material conditions are fine. The woods are white or black, one will never sleep.

“To the customers – Insurrection and Doublethink”

Copia-di-volantino

To the customers
Insurrection and Doublethink

To those who…

To those for whom the end of civilization is a bookstore or grocery business;
To those who consider insurrection as a breach in the monopoly of falsehood, representation, power;
To those who are able to sense that behind the dense fog of the “crisis” there is a theater of operations, maneuvers, strategies and therefore the possibility for self-promotion;
To those who launch “attacks” in order to occupy seats in the municipal council;
To those who seize the propitious moment to display themselves in the mass media;
To those who don’t seek accomplices, but political friends;
To those who don’t desert, but who infiltrate;
To those who mock the refusal to participate in this world;
To those who organize others into a party, perhaps – why not – into a historical party;
To those who intend to give life to a revolutionary force, as long as it’s institutional.

WHATAVATR1

Appellate court for the case of the robbery in Pirgetos with accused anarchist comrades G.Sarafoudis-G.Naxakis on October 9th.
On Friday October 9th begins in the appellate court of Loukareos the
second degree trial with accused anarchists G.Sarafoudis and G.Naxakis
concerning the robbery that was carried out in 2011 in Pirgetos, Larisa.
In the first trial they both had been convicted with the same sentence
of 16 years for robbery, upgraded for both however in the context of
terrorism with DNA found on two movable objects as evidence.

We stand in solidarity with our two comrades.

Depois de impressora quebrada, problema com tonner, dois meses longe de casa e um monte de outras coisas, finalmente tá na mão a primeira leva de 50 cópias do livro, inteiramente feitas de forma DIY, diagramadas, impressas, costuradas e coladas a mão. Um trampo de alguns anos recolhendo e pedindo textos pra anarcopunks de vários países, traduzindo e organizando tudo, e que enfim virou um livro de verdade. Uma edição em espanhol também tá sendo lançada em outros países, com capa de serigrafia, produção e tradução dxs manxs da Argentina.

The following is a transcript of a conversation between two friends shortly after the insurgency in Ferguson, Missouri. (+++) was there and (***) wasn’t, but both of us have participated in anti-police uprisings in the last several years on the West Coast and in the Midwest. We’re publishing this in an effort to explore the complexities of recent events in the United States, but also to contribute to the ongoing discussions and attacks against the existing order, everywhere.
