Anarchy becomes universal

Amidst ecstatic visions Anarchy appears. She says:


Whenever you need anything, once a month at the full moon, assemble in the
wilderness--in the forest, on the heath, by the seashore--for the state of
nature is a community of freedoms. Recognize the imminence of total
liberation, and as a sign of your freedom be naked in your rites.


Dance and sing, laugh and play, feast on the fruits of the earth, the
delights of my body, make music and love--for all acts of pleasure are my
rituals. And I am that which you find in the fulfulment of desire.

Abolish all authority, root out coercion. Share all things in common
and decide through consensus. Shake off the character armor which binds and
constrains. Let the wilderness energies possess you.

Cast the magic circle, enter the trance of ecstasy, revel in the
sorcery which dispels all power. But commit no sacrifices. Repudiate
harmfulness, exploitation and slaughter. Rather venerate all creatures and
respect them as different but equal to you.

Total transformation thus becomes possible.

This rite shall continue to be celebrated until Anarchy becomes universal.

JM

Anarchism is not engaging in Pagan orgies, rites and rituals inside a magic circle at the Full Moon like the Skull and Bonesmen do at Yale, whether you sacrifice babies like they do, or not. Anarchy is self-governance, self-reliance, co-operation, barter and contributing to the larger community for the betterment of all... And we are not equal to animals, a NWO concept.

what was it? oh yes, dance! self-governance sure, but what are you going to do once you have claimed control of your life? if you're going to restrict to your vision your going to be a bit of a bore, an authoritarian bore most likely and a bit of a prude too. what? people enjoying themselves! feeling some kind of connection with nature? a sense of wildness, of being beyond the control of chauvinists and patriarchs, capitalists and priests?pleasure and joy are weapons for revolutionaries, not distractions. if we take ourselves too seriously then we might as well not bother.

or maybe the poem is about anarchy wjile your interested in something else. anarchism?

This cosmic bullshit is why people aren't interested in anarchism. Their pseudo-occultist musings are just one big cop-out from the real task of challenging authoritarianism, patriarchy and other hierarchies.
