Setting Fire to the Future: Presentation on Global Civil War (in Milwaukee)

A wave of refusal in Rome, an occupation in New York. The trashing of a factory in Dongguan, the mobile blockade of interstates in DC. Flames in Athens, riots in Oakland.

Every day we're moving farther from the total stupidity of all political and social milieus. The coming insurrection will be a revolt whose terrain is everywhere and whose weapons are blockades, strikes, sabotage, and solidarity: the inseparable embrace of building power and insurrection.

It is in new social formations and new forms of attack that our potential lies. This is the emergent threat of social war, our war.

Thursday March 5th 7pm at the CCC in Milwaukee there will be a multi-media presentation, talk and discussion touching on a veritable multitude of topics ranging from the ideas of the Invisible Committee's 'The Coming Insurrection', recent sustained rioting in Greece, the state-of-exception, the ever present yet new impending forms of global crisis of capital and a perhaps newly realized terrain of global civil war.

This event is free. People are encouraged to bring food and ideas to share. There will also be free literature available on topics relating to the presentation.

The CCC (Cream City Collectives) is located at:

732 e Clarke st.
Milwaukee, WI 53212

"Setting fire to the future"? Isn't this literally what our industrial economy is doing? And we're choking on the smoke and will be for decades, at least.

Romanticizing fire, destruction and violence is fucking adolescent macho bullshit. As is dismissive crap like "the total stupidity of all political and social milieus". The TOTAL stupidity of ALL milieus? Wow. Everything is totally stupid, and now we're going to destroy it all and everything will be better. Nice punk rock song, ridiculous plan for action.

Collectives are about cooperation. Solidarity is about cooperation. Cooperation is this negation of capitalism and militarism. It's also based on listening, patience and finding the best in all people's perspectives, pretty much the exact opposite of the mentality expressed in this announcement.
