Fuck Step. Take Leaps!

I really despise how every choice in this country, in politics, etc. always make us choose between one weak option over an even weaker one. The working class has forgotten how people use to really participate in a militant struggle to demand more than mediocrity. Do people not find our collective situation compelling? "A step in the right direction" apparently is the growing gap between rich and poor and the virtual disappearance of the middle class. How are decisions benefiting the free market still a "step in the right direction"? We have been bamboozled, hypnotized, and are being laughed at as we speak, for our inability to ward of distractions that are ephemeral at best, because ephemeral is all we have come to expect and all we feel the working class and the working poor deserve. We deserve substance and meaning and we deserve the glory of a struggle. However the only way we're going to achieve any of this is by putting our necks out and putting both of our feet into the streets. Struggle! In our work place, in the streets, in our schools, through our art and music. Revolt at every turn! Because every facet of this society is tainted by the lure of capitalism. Revolution my friends, all day, everyday!

The same people who are murdered slowly in the mechanized slaughterhouses of work are also arguing, singing, drinking, dancing, making love, holding the streets, picking up weapons and inventing a new poetry.
