The End of The Road
I know where the end of road is...
But I have no intention of telling you because there is a fox den there, and there are fully six healthy pups, not more than ten minutes from my home.
My favorite pup, Henry (that's my Pomeranian) and I have dubbed "Curious George." And I hope he makes it in this world -- because he (like we) seems fascinated by things worth being fascinated by -- that is by living things that mean no harm to any other living thing and seek only to understand and to love beauty, self-regulation, and adaptability - i.e. nature - i.e. existence itself.
Which brings me to Capitalism - i.e. to me and to you.
Capitalism is morally evil, because it is fundamentally a lie. Capitalism presupposes that capital is evenly distributed - i.e. that each human participant in the system possesses an equal chance to "succeed" and that each "succeeds" on his/her merits. But that is simply not the case. If it were the case, what argument would there be for "inheritance" of capital and property? In other words, what need would there be for George (the Retard/Shrub) Bush to "inherit" the Presidency of the United States of America -- TWICE.
You see, we live in a rigid class system, even as we pledge allegiance to classlessness. In other words, I have little Capital. And you have little Capital. And a very small number of people have and control all of the rest -- which is substantial -- and the transfer is selective -- which is to say it will never be yours or mine. No fucking way!
Yet each day, we pledge allegiance to that (corporate) flag, believing that because we can go to a gym, go to a restaurant or a bar, stream a song or a porno, that we are somehow "free."
In other words, "Capitalism" is the process whereby those who control capital and the ability to manufacture it have led us to confuse "masturbation" with "freedom."
We have two choices:
1. Violence -- and I do not advocate this. After all, Homeland Security would place me in chains and send me to Guantanamo.
2. Withholding -i.e. to STRIKE. And this is the route I favor. As Marx said, we, the workers -- we, the exploited -- we, the "believers" -- must rise up, stop believing, stop masturbating and withhold our capital - i.e our labor.
Because without our labor, the Capitalists are nothing. And the Death Star, the sewer of exploitation, that we call modern life, would implode -- Colony Collapse Disorder. And not doing this is how we have failed ourselves and every subsequent generation like ourselves.
So let us walk to the end of each of our roads. Let us dream of tomorrow. For the children's sake, let us sacrifice today by suppressing the masturbatory impulse broadcast 24x7 into our homes. And let us begin anew. Like the fox and her pups, it is a new day. It is a new year. It is anew.
