Revolutionary Faith

        Through faith in Christ Jesus are the mind and body born anew, cleansed of the forms that have been imposed upon it by the nefarious forces of this world. Through love among comrades is the Holy Spirit realized, here and now as a material force that compels us towards each other and our purpose. Through recognition of becoming is being realized, and through the letting go of being is becoming realized, the true nature of the world.

Christ died! The Holy Spirit lives! May Her love never die!

*

For a revolutionary to be born, he must first die. He must give up everything, all of it. He is no longer a son, a father, a brother, a husband. She is no longer a daughter, a mother, a sister, a wife. She has shed all her former attachments and become one with the revolution. Her brothers, sisters, mother and father, husband or wife, sons and daughters, cease to fill those wretched roles stained by the old world, and become comrades, friends, conduits of pure, universal love, unsullied by exploitation.

*

The Holy Spirit is the immediate manifestation of universality in action. In contemporary socialist jargon, it is the hyper-intensified solidarity that exists among the members of the revolutionary party.

*

Rejecting God, the revolutionary is immersed in the Holy Spirit, the only thing that remains of God

An Open Letter to My Comrades

With the United States general election arriving soon, we all must remember what it is we are fighting for, and who our enemies are . We must stand firm and hold the line. The bourgeoisie and the left wing of capital will do everything in their power to bend us, twist us, corrupt us and break us. They will employ every tactic, every strategy, every method at their disposal in order to silence us, suppress us, or render us functionally passive. No matter what, it must be remembered that no matter who wins, the proletariat will lose unless we take quick and decisive actions against the forces of capital.  Though the bourgeoisie seems divided, this division is completely artificial; it is a front put up to distract us from the real and pressing issue at hand. No matter how different they may seem, both the Democratic and Republican parties share the same interests, are controlled by the same class, and funded by the same people. Through their cunning, the progressive wing of the bourgeois

Theses on Queer Materialism

1     Identity is not determined by vague philosophical speculation, but rather, it is determined by the practice of everyday life. 2     Queer materialism understands that identity is not something arbitrary, but rather, it is a historically conditioned state of alienation from the difference of the self. The self yearns to be free, to overflow out of the bounds of identity.  3 Identity is the realization of reification of the level of the self. In a society where commodity relations are the dominant relations, our relation to ourselves and others can only be regulated by static identities. 4     The end goal of queer materialism is the abolition of all static identity, of all social class. In other words, the end goal of queer materialism is communism. 5     The basis of queer materialism is queer negativity, that is, the negation of all former social structures and modes of being. It is upon this negation that new ways of life will be built. 6     There is no such thing as universal

The Eternal Return of Capital

  1 The Eternal Return is localized, materialized, brought to life in the everyday workings of the capitalist death machine. Nietzsche’s demon brought to life as a Landian hyperstition that appears out of the shadow of the future; it looks down on you, smiling, for it has done this all before. Its voice booms; “This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and every sigh and every thing unutterable small or great in your life will have to return to you -”  It stops. It Laughs. It knows. It knows that you know. And it knows that you will do nothing to stop it (The Gay Science, 125). 2 Unlike the eternal return of Nietzche, which is more of an ethical thought experiment than anything else, a thought experiment meant to help guide the individual towards the path in life that best suits them. However, the eternal return of capitalism is quite d
