What is Sunland worldwide movement?

Some people turn to us with advice "You may simply buy some uninhabited Island. Why not?" These people don't realize properly what Sunland’s main foundations are. Even if this short introduction to the issue will antagonize by a part of our audience, nevertheless we must clarify the matter.

Sunland is a light beam in a Kingdom of darkness. Ordinary persons depreciatingly say “that is utopia”. Yes, Sunland is embodied utopia! Blockheads don't understand that Sunland is nothing unless it becomes a completely alternative vision. What is utopia in philosophical sense of word?
Utopia is an integral part of life. The world accumulates entropy in various forms until people, which inspired by the utopia, begin building some new forms of life. The world would have comes to end very quickly if utopia did not exist.

Thus, we can set up these Sunland’s main foundations:

1. There is no private property on Sunland.

Because “private property is a theft” (P.-J. Proudhon) Sunland doesn’t allow one person to be hired by another person. So in private ownership may be only personal items. All means of production and real estate is in a public ownership. All it belongs to commune itself. Also, the succession right applies only to personal items.

2. There is no institution of matrimony on Sunland.

People, who love each other joint for living together as they want it and how long they want it.

3. Sunland is not a state.

Because “State is the name of the coldest of all cold monsters” (F. Nietzsche) Sunland never will be a state or something like a state. Probably, a need will arise for Sunland's representation in relations with the States, but Sunland have to appear as likeness of a “state” only in this certain relationship.

In spite of the wild outburst of entropy, very few people nowadays want to change the whole world better. But even that few…how can they do any global, radical change if they don’t wish support any practical minor steps which help to go ahead towards the ultimate aims that they proclaim?

So, as realistic utopianists we don’t want to create the copy of a worm-eaten world in a smaller scale of the Island. Sunland should be a place at which people around the world watching with hope. Sunland should encourage and console them.

In this connection the question occurs. Is there any government in the world that could provide even uninhabited island, even the island that faced with environmental threat, even the island that has no economical or strategically importance? Well, we’ll check it! Sunland is a great project that checks people, governments, leaders…

Obviously, to get its aims Sunland must become a strong worldwide movement. Even you are not going to live on Sunland, if you are on the right track yours duty to help it someway. All we are Sunland’s army: not only those who are the members of the commune, but also supporters and sympathizers.

Sunland is good, really good and indeed good!

What is the SCUM manifesto?

14.07.2009 19:06

It's a humourous rant by a fucked up individual, but occassionally it still strikes a painfully sarcastic chord with your funny bone. Articles like this remind me of quotes such as this :

"
The `hippy' babbles on about individuality, but has no more conception of it than any other man. He desires to get back to Nature, back to the wilderness, back to the home of furry animals that he's one of, away from the city, where there is at least a trace, a bare beginning of civilization, to live at the species level, his time taken up with simple, non-intellectual activities -- farming, fucking, bead stringing. The most important activity of the commune, the one upon which it is based, is gang-banging. The `hippy' is enticed to the commune mainly by the prospect for free pussy -- the main commodity to be shared, to be had just for the asking, but, blinded by greed, he fails to anticipate all the other men he has to share with, or the jealousies and possessiveness for the pussies themselves.

Men cannot co-operate to achieve a common end, because each man's end is all the pussy for himself. The commune, therefore, is doomed to failure; each `hippy' will, in panic, grad the first simpleton who digs him and whisks her off to the suburbs as fast as he can. The male cannot progress socially, but merely swings back and forth from isolation to gang-banging.
