The Fight: What Does It Mean and Where Does It Come From, An Essay:
Homosapien. A man. He is alone in the universe.
A punker. Still a man. He is alone in the universe, but he connects.
How? They hit each other.
No clearer way to evaluate whether or not you're alive.
Now.
Complications.
A reason to fight.
Somebody different.
Difference creates dispute. Dispute is a reason to fight.
Now, to fight is a reason to feel pain.
Life is pain. So to fight with reason is to be alive with reason.
Final analysis: To fight, a reason to live.
Problems and Contradictions: I am an anarchist. I believe that there should be no rules, only chaos. Fighting appears to be chaos. And when we slam in the pit a show it is. But when we fight for a reason, like rednecks, there's a system, we fight for what we stand for, chaos. Fighting is a structure, fighting is to establish power, power is government and government is not anarchy. Government is war and war is fighting.
The circle goes like this: our redneck skirmishes are cheap perversions of conventional warfare. War implies extreme government because wars are fought to enforce rules or ideals, even freedom. But other people ideals forced on someone else, even if it is something like freedom, is still a rule; not anarchy.
This contradiction was becoming clear to me in the fall of '85. Even as early as my first party, "Why did I love to fight?" [..]d it, but still, I don't understand it. It goes against my beliefs as a true anarchist. But there it was. Competition, fighting, capitalism, government, THE SYSTEM. That's what we did. It's what we always did. Rednecks kicked the shit out of punks, punks kicked the shit out of mods, mods kicked the shit out of skinheads, skinheads took out the heavy metal guys, and the heavy metal guys beat the living shit out of new wavers and the new wavers did nothing.
What was the point?
Final summation? None.
Calvin: Do you believe in the devil? You know, a supreme evil being dedicated to the temptation, corruption, and destruction of man?
Hobbes: I'm not sure that man needs the help.
