14. A Stalinist is someone who has turned Marxism into a dogma and
used it as an excuse for acting just like the more ruthless variety of
capitalist.
15. Stages theories don't work.
THE GOALS OF CHAOS MARXISM
16. The Chaos Marxist practice is:
a. to learn to distinguish objective reality (matter, physical energy,
political economy, brute force and social practices) from subjective
reality (the social myths which grow up around objective reality);
b. to recognize the consciousness or personality of both herself and
others as "interpellated" (derived from the biological individual's
attempts to fit in with the prevailing social practices, rather than
essential to the individual) and therefore as subjective rather than
objective reality;
c. to re-organise the individual consciousness to something which is
more capable of being able to provoke change in objective reality,
as a vanguard of a liberatory "current" of the oppressed and
exploited. By recognizing that our "self" was constructed to fit in
with capitalism, not to challenge it, we challenge ourselves to
surpass the imposed boundaries of the self. In other traditions, I
believe they call this "ego loss".
17. The masses will awaken precisely at that point where they find a
reality tunnel which enables them to make their lives physically,
practically better.
18. Only the conscious mass action of the huge worldwide majority
will change anything. Not a secret elite of memetic superheroes. We can't
make that happen by hiding and manipulating. Nor can we do that by
clowning and phrasemongering, by going on demos just for the sake of
going on demos - that's just another fake identity.
19. The goal of Chaos Marxism is to use the insights into mass
hypnosis and cultural theory which have been brought to a high level of
pragmatic perfection by the management and marketing gurus, and turn
them around to create techniques which can be used for mass-market
from-below political activism, cultural illumination, and just plain lulz.
20. Our aim is social revolution in the real sense, in the sense of the
world turned upside down, of the corporate Kings kneeling as their
kingdoms rise, like the French, American and Russian revolutions
before.
21. Chaos Marxism is about mass dehypnotisation, much like mass
immunization. Remember that bit in Illuminatus! where our heroes
covertly dose the unwashed masses with a drug that turns them from
neophobes into neophiles? Yeah, sort of like that, on the culturalpolitical-psychological-magickal
level.
22. The aim is twofold: (a) to build unity between the workers in
language and information, and the workers in physical production and
services; (b) to learn the skills of the media priesthood to create our own
