This so called “representative democracy” that we live under
could not survive without the threat of the law and the brutal
violence of imprisonment. These are the pillars on which stand this
edifice of state and capital, while they drain the life blood from
the people. They indulge in no subtlety as they weave their web of poverty,
deprivation and savage exploitation of the citizens, nor in their
brutal police repression, concentration camps for immigrants, and the
rhetoric of racism against vulnerable sections of society. The social
needs of the people are taken off the agenda, while, under a charade
of “progress” our natural environment is savaged and damaged
beyond repair.
All this is done in the name of personal profit, wealth and power
for a ruling elite. The public, should not, and will not, let this
multifaceted brutality go unanswered. However, I believe we are at a
critical period, one where the ideas that hold that old ruling elite
in power, no longer are accepted, but we the public have not yet
articulated what will take their place. A period when the anarchists
must raise their voices louder than ever, where our presence should
be seen and heard at every public debate, in every workplace and in
all communities. When the people seek answers, ours must be on the
table. Rationale and humanity will see that they are the best of
answers.
