anarchist.

Reformists  want to tackle the symptoms
Revolutionaries want to tackle the cause
we know progress is not
nationalization  
as stated in the old fourth clause
we want to fracture what is  
and would do so
without pause.
Reformists would leave the tooth to ache
put buckets under the leak and leave it to drip
we revolutionaries  want to go to the root, the source,
go to the heart of the matter and give 'the sub rosa'
the snip.
I'm told I just want the Soviet Union or Cuba  
but I say both of them are Leninist
I'm nae State Capitalist
I'm a fuckin'  
anarcho- communist.  
When I say I'm an anarchist  
they expect me to be lobbin'
a Molotov cocktail
but I know
"you can't blow up a social relation"
and propaganda by the deed  is bound to fail.
I'm  neither the enemy or uncritical supporter
of The Black Bloc
I think it's necessary they exist
but a new world doesn't come
 from throwing a rock.
I reject the false choices
posed as capital or the state
I don't want either to exist
both oppress us
they're close bed fellows
both rob democracy off our plate.
I just want democracy to come  
from the grassroots
without bosses or politicians  
or union bureaucrats  
the forces of reaction in cahoots.
the goals of a just society
should be
freedom  
equality
 solidarity
without destruction
 by archy
without the exploitation reigned down
 by hierarchy.
my positive vision is to restore the commons
to reverse the enclosures
to set them
 free
that in the end  
 is all it means
by Communism
by  
anarchy.  
with that we can build a world
 thats GREEN
local  
grassroots
fit for nature
 and human  bein'.
I argue for a world  
of each according to their need
instead of capitalism  
with it's vampire lust for profit
and dead labour  
love  
of GREED.
I wish for the end  
of the workin' class
we'll make them
 a thing of the past
when the economy is something
society has surpassed.
Some of my comrades argue  
for the mutualism  
of Proudhon
but we no longer buy into the logic of markets
the days of co-operatives  
as radical are long  
since gone.
the whole cash nexus is wrong...
but I'm nothing if not pragmatist  
so I say let many experiments in freedom be tried
I'm nae dogmatist.
I have nae time for  
talk of vanguards
elitist 'revolutionaries'
wi their party cards
I cannae led you to your freedom
you can only discover it  
by your activity
only in action
can you win your liberty
I'll tolerate nae chat aboot
a 'workers state'
a ruling class means  
a power concentrate
the very thing
we seek tae negate
you must understand  
oppression is intertwined
there's nae revolution wioot
feminism or the other problems we find
but this isn't only a battle of the mind
just you step out of the normality confine
and you'll see the true face of the state
just fine
It's true face is the military and the police
hired to ensure the upholding
of the masters peace
the existing order is kept by tv
Gun
ordered by government fiat  
sae pacifists guid luck wi that
iz yer beaten tae death  
liberal platitudes wasting yer last breath  
as malatesta said  
in it's last destination  
the revolution cannot
but avoid  
 
physical confrontation
