(sec-head book Bookchin thought)
(ul
(li Nearly a half century ago, while Social-Democratic and Communist
theoreticians babbled about a society with "work for all," the Dadaists,
those magnificent madmen, demanded unemployment for everybody.)
(li Our Being is (b Becoming), not (i stasis). Our (b Science) is
(i Utopia), our (b Reality) is (i Eros), our (b Desire) is
(i Revolution).)
(li If we do not do the impossible, we shall be faced with the
unthinkable. )
(li I believe in individual freedom; that's my primary and complete
commitment - individual liberty. That's what it's all about. And
that's what socialism was supposed to be about, or anarchism
was supposed to be about, and tragically has been betrayed.))
(sec-head jpos J. Posadas thought:)
(ul
(li We must call upon beings from other planets when they come to
intervene, to collaborate with the inhabitants of the Earth to
overcome misery. We must launch a call on them to use their
resources to help us.)
(li Dialectic concepts can permit the existence of UFOs and other
life-forms... Even if these reports of flying saucers are fantasies,
as is possible that the majority may be, many of them, their
historical basis is correct... the scientific capacity of human
beings is determined by their social organisation... The answers
to these mysteries would lie in a study of Marxism.)
(li It is true that we can see today thousands of kilometres away
with new instruments and improved mathematics. The true vision,
however, is that of Marx: Marx who saw that capitalism would be
destroyed.))
(q The class struggle does not have to exist. It is on Earth that
the process of history has played out like this, but there is no
reason why it should be the same elsewhere. Social organisation can
have forms infinitely superior, without struggle, without
antagonism. There is no reason at all to fight. The beings of those
places may be looking at us in astonishment, and say: "Oh! They
fight over a car, shooting and killing each other!" It may even be
that death does not exist for them as it does on Earth. The notion
of death, the notion of the extinction of matter, or of cells,
cannot be identical everywhere.
(p) We are preparing ourselves for a stage in which before the
atomic war we shall struggle for power, during the atomic war we
shall struggle for power and we shall be in power. There is no
beginning... there is an end to atomic war, because atomic war is
simultaneous revolution in the whole world, not as a chain
reaction, simultaneous. Simultaneous doesn't mean the same day
and the same hour. Great historic events should not be measured
by hours or days, but by periods... The working class will
maintain itself, [and] will immediately have to seek its cohesion
and centralisation...
(p) After destruction commences, the masses are going to emerge
in all countries - in a short time, in a few hours. Capitalism
cannot defend itself in an atomic war except by putting itself in
caves and attempting to destroy all that it can. The masses, in
contrast, are going to come out, will have to come out, because
it is the only way to survive, defeating the enemy... The
apparatus of capitalism, police, army, will not be able to
resist... It will be necessary to organise the workers' power
immediately.
(p) Nuclear war is revolutionary war. It will damage humanity but
it will not - it cannot - destroy the level of consciousness
reached by it... Humanity will pass quickly through a nuclear war
into a new human society - Socialism.)

(sec-head kadv Kopimi Laws, advanced:)
(ul
(li Copying of information is ethically right.)
(li Dissemination of information is ethically right.)
(li Copymixing is a sacred kind of copying, moreso than the
perfect, digital copying, because it expands and enhances the
existing wealth of information)
(li Copying or remixing information communicated by another person
is seen as an act of respect and a strong expression of acceptance
and Kopimistic faith.)
(li The Internet is holy.)
(li Code is law.)

(li Fuck em if they can't take a joke!)
(li "Too much" is always better than not enough.)
(li The real role of the Church of the SubGenius is to completely
destroy the Conspiracy of the Normals. But don't repeat that, ever. (July 1953))
(li The world ends tomorrow and you may die!)
(li Repent! Quit your job! Slack off!)
(li The subgenius MUST have slack.)

(maj-head gloss Glossary of terms)
(sec-head gloss-pc Political correctness:)
(q PC is also a good deal less radical than its proponents imagine,
firmly reformist rather than revolutionary. In the PC pantheon of
`race, gender and class' class has always come a very poor third,
but the pursuit of race and gender equality detached from the
struggle of the working class inevitably proceeds in a reformist
direction more or less regardless of rhetoric or subjective
intentions.
(p This is because objectively neither blacks on their own, nor
women, nor lesbians and gays have the material power to overthrow
American capitalism and its power structure; consequently their
focus inevitably shifts to the demand for inclusion within the
existing capitalist hierarchy. Nor is PC by any means the most
radical form of reformism. Despite all the talk of the `rights' and
`empowerment' the main tactic of PC is to appeal to the consciences
of `the oppressors' on the basis of moral guilt. Hence the PC cult
of victim status so excoriated by D'Souza and Hughes.)
(p Unfortunately it is far easier to guilt trip an idealist
student or a liberal intellectual than the US ruling class. Guilt
is also a very poor basis for fighting racism and other
reactionary ideas in the working class. The mass of white workers
will be won to anti-racism and unity with black workers through an
understanding of their common class interest, not through guilt
over the legacy of slavery (for which they were not responsible in
the first place).)
