As well as involvement in all aspects of our communities, we need publicity, propaganda, call it what you will, but we must continually put our ideas on the table of everyday life. If our ideas are not known to the ordinary people when they find themselves in conflict, then our ideas will not be taken up. Anarchist have a very colourful palette, let's paint our communities, leaflets, posters, conversations, meetings, stalls, stickers, an avalanche of anarchist ideas flooding this festering mess they call capitalist society. Every opportunity to put our ideas, beliefs, theories out there, should be embraced, from pub and bus stop chats to graffiti, it all adds up.
A Mural from Zurich in Switzerland.
The mural reads:
“We are growing old among men and women
without dreams, strangers in a present time which leaves us no room for
outbursts of generosity. The best this society can offer us (a career, a
reputation, a sudden, big win, ‘love’) simply doesn’t interest us.
Giving orders disgusts us just as much as obedience. What we are and
what we want begins with a no. We are exploited like everyone else and
want to put an end to exploitation right away. For us, revolt needs no
other justification. Our life is escaping us, and any class discourse
that fails to start from this is simply a lie. Revolt needs
everything—papers and books, arms and explosives, reflection and
blasphemy, poisons, daggers and arsons. The only interesting question is
how to combine them.”
“NEVER PJZ!”
