With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
‘Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”- Bob Dylan

Más Allá de los Gritos
In 2000, right after this documentary first came out, I saw it for the first time at LaFayette Park in the Pico-Union district of LA (next to the infamous McArthur park). The screening was a show I had helped organize being in an Anarchopunk collective, the Alternative Gathering Collecive (or AGC). It in many ways changed how I viewed myself, my identity. So often, as a Chicano, we become pigeon-holed by the identity-politics of 40-30 years that just do not fit any more. That we have to some how be true to our “roots” whatever that means and struggle to maintain that. If anything, like most young people I found some of the “roots” of Mexican culture oppressive so I rejected them.

anarchy is an interesting concept. living in a society like this, it’s very difficult to truly call oneself an anarchist. this capitalist structure is so heavily ingrained in us, that we wake up in the morning, go to work or school, feed the machine through quotas, and perpetuate global oppression. perhaps being an anarchist is being cognizant of these barriers and working to break free from them. but then again, what’s left, in my opinion, is chaotic order. isn’t it all in the same?
i don’t think it’s that simple…

To « call » one self an anarchist does not mean that one ascribes to a prescribed lifestyle. Most self-professed anarchist disparagingly label that as « lifestyleism», which is can be exemplified as the notion that anarchism = not buying things, or something to effect.
To be an anarchist is to work to foster, create, endorse anarchism as a new way of dealing with the notion of society.
The « chaotic order » of this current society cannot be equated with the « social order » that most anarchists seek. This current order is based on subjugation to hierarchies and alienation as a means of oppression.

i think like most things, the defining of terms is so subjective. this idea of “anarchism” (or any other -ism) is really relative and certainly nonexistent. and for me, to try to define this term is like encapsulating yourself to this predetermined meaning of what it’s supposed to be. does that make sense? i’m getting an armies of the night/norman mailer moment right here.
anywho, good show.

to live as though all is undefinable is to fall into inaction. we must concede with some in order to proceed.

vélo – boulot – dodo
we don’t need bicycle culture. we need to efface bicycle culture and participate in mass culture to become invisible. but then again for those who’ve been riding for years out of necessity rather than « neo-green-consciousness » , this is already the case. but then again the working poor are always invisible (until the next riot).

où et quand?
The pull of objects
The levity of waves
The screen’s gone blank
To how I’ve livedThe heat between my eyes
Of long dead stars soothe
The dithered light
Of some paper-thin truth -
