Tacticians Needed, Not Just More Art

The people live in terror and are frustrated with nonconsequencial voices heard from artists. The only true artists heard are tacticians, and the time for the international maestro with an iron ocotopus to arise.

Avoid states allowing forced injections, NM AZ NV, and avoid states controlled by drug lords, the prohibition states and the other states including CA OR WA. Best bet, consider the USA a stopping point soon to be a third world nation for most people. Welcome world wide war and revolution to overthrow the international closed door regime. Life does not matter when under a boot.

Watch how in this video, the hostile Police threaten arrest, which means more extortion and pnysical abuse.

http://www.indybay.org/news/2005/09/1769473.php

Embrace the ideo of global revolution, even if it starts out as war. Soon you may be the next experiment or injection victim by a government fit for the kill.

MORE ART - LESS WAR!

In his post "Tacticians Needed, Not Just More Art," Kurt Brown" wrote:

It is NOT jack-booted thugs with machine guns that have kept the people in line, but a manufactured culture that seduces, distracts and sedates. Culture is an extremely political thing, and the left has more or less abandoned it. This is best illustrated by Kurt's remarks regarding the "nonconsequencial voices heard from artists." The artist's vision is NEVER inconsequential - from Hemingway's writing on the Spanish Civil War and Picasso's antiwar mural, "Guernica," to today's artists who exhibited at the "Demise of Democracy?" show in Orange County. No... we don't need more tacticians, organizers, and politicos - what we need are visionary artists, writers, photographers, musicians and poets who will work among the people to create and sustain a humanistic culture that points the way forward.

There's little doubt that Kurt did not even bother to see the "Demise of Democracy?" show before offering his pearls of wisdom to the readership of Indymedia. If he had seen the show - as I did - he might have had something more valuable to offer to the readers of this website. Again, culture and art is NOT inconsequential, if it were, then capitalists would not spend hundreds of billions of dollars pumping out everything from movies and books to posters and songs. Art - as Picasso once said, "is a weapon," and presently ignorance is well armed while Kurt and those like him stand there impoverished and without the means to defend themselves - other than to bleat about the need for more "tacticians." Name me a SINGLE left group today that has a position on art and culture. You can't, because one doesn't exist! It has not always been so... a reading of history reveals that from the 1900's to the 1930's, artists played a HUGE role in progressive movements for social change. But today, you walk a picket-line or go on a mass antiwar march - and then come home to consume the "culture" of those you protest against. No... tacticians won't help you, but opening your eyes to the role and impact of art and culture might.

For you lug-head lefties who are utterly bereft of any appreciation of art, perhaps you'll heed the words of Emma Goldman, who put it succinctly, "If I can't dance in your revolution, then I want no part of it!"
