Honestly hate it when MLs and anarchists treat their cute little ideologies as insular sectarian cliques. Yeah I’m sure you and your five friends who are hostile to other revolutionaries and the masses themselves and don’t attempt any tenant or labor organizing and look down on all non-liberal forms of protest or militancy are gonna convince the masses to take giant risks that might destroy their lives based on hostility and vibes alone.

Nobody is becoming a revolutionary if they don’t believe such a thing is possible which they absolutely won’t believe if they don’t have smaller victories like unionization and wage increases to point to. Your job is to build their confidence, which also protects you. You’re already a target so make yourself a bigger one and become so indispensable in your community that people defend you when the state and fascists attack you and try to smear you as a socialist or anarchist of some variety.

If you’ve already helped them win gains in their lives, they will protect you and that’s our only protection in this world. “Why are they attacking these people who help us” is what you want. Otherwise no one will know or care about the abuses you endure trying to change the world. It also backs up your ideology. If you’re the union steward and the office commie and you’ve helped win gains for the masses around you, that’s gonna convince people maybe you’re right.

If you want to be irrelevant and alone and lose, then yeah treat revolution like a clique of the already initiated that requires nothing from you but smugness and the occasional protest. Which sounds like cult shit to me but you know I guess a lot of fringe ideologues treat their beliefs like secret knowledge outsiders simply cannot understand.

Hadal: 'love language' robe with an Arabic love poem by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish embroidered onto the sleeve.

The poem reads:

قالوا: تموت بها حبـاًً، فقلـت لهـم. ألا اذكروها علـى قبـري فتحيينـي

English translation: They asked "Do you love her to death?" | said "Speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life."

“Spine Corset” by Shaun Leane for Alexander McQueen, SS ‘98.

Initiation Well Location: Sintra, Portugal

A pair of wells, called the Initiation Wells, spiral down deep within the earth, like inverted towers. The wells were never used to collect water. Instead, they were part of a mysterious initiation ritual within the Knights of Templar tradition.

your only job on this earth is to be so intrinsically yourself that the right people gravitate toward you and the wrong people move out of your way
