Now, one of the main reasons I continue to play music and be creative:
"Even as the last day approached, the people went about business as usual and did not believe." [Mathew 24]
Let's face the music, kids; we live in a fascist state. We are all individually subordinate to our government. Click here to look up fascist if you don't believe me.
Here's my hypothesis:
There is no need for external government; those who claim there is a need are merely affraid, and that fear is killing us. That is all, nothing more; however, those who believe that government is just going to fall all by itself are sadly mistaken. If you're planning to sit back and watch it happen, then you're planning to sit back and watch the demise and ultimately the annihilation of our planet, and us along with it. When is it time to say enough is enough? I've never been into violence but somehow I feel called to action. This corporate control over our government and mainstream media, and the manipulation of our very consciousness, must end. This is where I stand: for the end of state control. We need to organize production anew on the basis of a free and equal association of the producers. This corporate-controlled capitalist society is raping our Mother Earth, and it's pretty much the same thing as prostituting my mom on a street corner for profit. No longer will I allow willfull ignorance to prevail and not shine a light on it - especially my own.
V.I. Lenin quoting Friedrich Engles:
"The state is therefore by no means a power imposed on society from the outside. . .Rather, it is a product of society at a certain stage of development; it is the admission that this society has become entangled in an insoluble contradiction with itself, that is is cleft into irreconcilable antagonisms which it is powerless to dispel. But in order that these antagonisms, classes with conflicting economic interests, may not consume themselves and society in sterile struggle, a power apparently standing above society becomes necessary, whose purpose is to moderate the conflict and keep it within the bounds of "order"; and this power arising out of society, but placing itself above it, and increasingly separating itself from it, is the state. . . .the state arose out of the need to hold class antagonisms in check; but as it, at the same time, arose in the midst of the conflict of these classes, it is, as a rule, the state of the most powerful, economically dominant class, which by virtue thereof becomes also the dominant class politically, and thus acquires new means of holding down and exploiting the oppressed class." (8,13)
Lenin goes on to tell us that "A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and therefore, once capital has gained control of this very best shell, it establishes its power so securely, so firmly that no change, either of persons, or institutions can shake it." (14)
However, Lenin quoting Engles again says:
"The society that organises production anew on the basis of a free and equal association of the producers will put the whole state machine where it will then belong: in the museum of antiquities, side by side with the spinning wheel and the bronze axe." (15)
