THE GOALS OF CHAOS MARXISM
14. Marxist revolutionary politics seek the coming to consciousness of
the vast majority of people in the world – the goal of magick, the tools of
politics.
15. In this sense, the Leninist cadre party is – ideally - a magical order
of adepts.
16. The central goal of Chaos Marxism is to integrate chaos magick
and dialectical materialism.
17. You may have a wrong idea of what being a Marxist is about from
the idiots who try to sell you badly-xeroxed newspapers. Being a
“revolutionary” is, in most cases, a mass-produced consumer product,
just like any other lifestyle. People can talk all kinds of revolution and yet
still be completely harmless.
18. The way you can tell a revolutionary from a political lifestyler is –
are they trying to figure out how to engage the masses? Or are they just
interested in recruiting to their cult?
19. For both the Leninist party and the disciplined magickal order, by
making yourself available to it you are also used by it. If this offends your
notion of yourself as a Beautiful and Unique Snowflake, then you are in
the wrong game.
THE ENEMY IS LIFESTYLISM
20. Chances are, the "tribe" you cling to is a mass-produced consumer
product.
21. If you're entirely hung up on your own "lifestyle", so determined to
surround yourself with a fortress of The Right Kind of Stuff that you're
incapable of thinking beyond your own self-image, then you're part of the
problem.
22. Consumer culture is the opium of the 21st century masses.
23. "I am the Chosen One" is the opium of 21st century niche
markets.
24. A lifestyle or a subculture is neither politics nor magick. It is a
religion.
25. People will believe any insanity if it allows them to belong to a real
or imagined community.
26. The logic of the “in-crowd” or the “enlightened few” is precisely
what we are trying to destroy.
27. Civilization isn't about sealing yourself off from the rest of the
world and your responsibility to it, and you don't get bonus marks just
for being a nice or politically correct person.
28. The only antidote to mass-produced identities is an Identity of
Opposition which is combined with a practice of effective opposition.
29. “The proletariat” is not a mass-produced consumer product. It is
more like a kind of industrial waste. No-one wants to be a wage-slave.
But in wage-slavery there is the potential of power.
30. The Real World of Horrible Jobs is everything that the Corporate
Egregore sees as “chthonic” or even the Qlippoth. It’s the dirty underside
