It is odd that people should accept the state even although history tells us that, despite its vociferous and strenuous propaganda to the contrary, the state is the longest running, most experienced, most skilled, most copious purveyors in that ancient and intricate art of terror, in the long and tortured history of man.
Ever since the first government was formed, terror has been an accepted weapon for keeping the people in line. Never for the benefit of the people in the line, but for those who wish to keep them there. The few rule the many and since it is against the interests of the many, the few need the weapon of terror to protect their little profitable cabal. It would therefore seem obvious that if we wish to free ourselves from the the ever present anticipation and results of terror, we have to first and foremost get rid of the greatest source of terror, the state, and its mouthpiece, government.
THE WAY OF SLAVES.
Politicians living a life of opulence
paid for by other men’s dreams,
add to the lexicon of humanity’s suffering
weaving their selfish grandiose schemes.
Abusing privileges, grasping at wealth
egos blown like a hot air balloon,
preaching our poverty will bring
prosperity for all———-soon.
We tighten our belt another notch
accepting a beggarly slice of the cake,
while they bask in a cherry orchard
surrounded by a fine wine lake.
Pouring words, grand posturing,
as they unveil their latest plan,
assuring they live in luxury
while we struggle as best we can.
Poverty’s the price for allowing
others to plan our days,
when will we finally grasp
this is the way of slaves.
I keep thinking about this everything we do, the way of slaves. I drive to a fabric store in the suburbs and look at the way everything is ordered, everything is arranged. It’s all meant to destroy us. The store clerks are slowly being replaced entirely by machines which cash your money for you. It’s all one machine. The goal is to accumulate capital. I know other people know it too, but their doubts and counter-desires are recaptured by the system of social control. Slaves.
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-for ever.” – George Orwell
Rather a negative view of humanity, why not try to remove the boot or get your face out of the road?
