When one is voicing any revolutionary intent, this often gets quickly subverted by the "agents of order", whoever they might be. For example, you say you want to abolish Capitalism. They will say: "...but some people profit from Capitalism, and not only the ruling class. Also, people in medieval times, even in the stone age, showed Capitalist behavior, so there is no escape from Capitalism. And what exactly is Capitalism anyway? And is Socialism any better?" and so on.
But there is one point, one goal, that cannot be easily "put aside" this way. And this is:
The modern world needs to be destroyed.
There can be no arguing about it, no second thoughts, no games of definitions and sidestepping, no fake pluralism about it. Is is a pure, total ideal and thought, one hundred percent the truth, a goal, a way, an ambition. You cannot talk and debate it away or your way out of it.
It also defines that the source of the misery the world is in right now is "modernism". It's not all of humanity that is the problem, not even all of the world - it's just its modern(ist) aspects.
Now lets get further on to this, our enemy, modernism. It's not just the obvious aspects of modernity - modern technology etc. - even though a lot of modern technology, such as social networks and smartphones and so on are very much part of the problem. It's the modern mindset that we should fight againt.
Technology in itself is not necessarily modern, ancient people used technology too, and as a good example: Techno music resurrected tribal and traditional drum and percussion focused music by *using technology* and was in this way, in the end, a lot more traditional than 19th century classical compositions - even though it used "modern equipment"!
Is terrorism the way, like the Unabomber etc. did? No, because as I said, we are fighting a mindset, and you can't blow up a mindset with bombs.
We need to employ art, theory, ideology, debates, poems, books, to fight the modern world.
So, this is our cry: do away with the modern world, and this is the path we should follow, and the ideal we aspire to.
