Taken from an article on Killing King Abacus:
So indeed, on all
fronts, the American ruling class is fighting for democracy, because democracy
is perhaps the most effective swindle that any ruling class has ever come up
with to keep those they rule in line. Abstract equality, the ideology of
rights, the myth of the “common good” and the work ethic all work together to
blind the exploited to the real conditions of their existence, to create false
hopes for changing those conditions within the context of this society and to
allow the masters of this world to present their interests as the interests of
all. Our liberation depends on our rejection of the democratic swindle, not in
favor of some other form of rule, but as an aspect of the rejection of all
rule, of every form of domination and exploitation. If the most reasonable
response the American soldiers in Iraq could make to their situation is mutiny
and desertion, our most reasonable response here is to move toward insurrection
through autonomous direct action and attack against the institutions that
dominate our lives. But our reasons are not those of the rulers, and will
appear to them as barbarous madness. But as to their opinion, why should we
give a damn?
