Violence as Necessity
by Pat Rock

Throughout the prison camps known as schools one often hears the age-old adage "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." This assertion that words do not hurt operates as a front a façade which domesticated people use as defense when bullies cut them down.

Sticks and stones do not hurt much in comparison to the psychological damage inflicted by name-calling. People should resort to violence more often as a way to avoid psychological beat-downs for a couple of reasons; they are the following: 1. When you are in a fight your mind slices through the social conditioned crap, thus you revert to the primal way of life, becoming an animal (as you know all animals are vastly superior to any civilized human). 2. Your senses become enhanced and your mind gets cleansed.

One must be fully certain that his or her target deserves the act of violence that s/he commits. When violence is just, it's beautiful, but when it is not deserved, it's uglier than sin. One must also realize the repulsiveness of institutional violence, such as the military; people who serve in the military go to far away places and kill people who they do not know. In these cases violence is not used for self-defense, but rather as a method of smoothing problems out in order for the system to run more effectively. For example, the U.S. shall attack Iraq for oil, the main resource that keeps the techno-industrial system running.

Pacifism serves as a tool of the system; the more people are pacified, the better the system operates. Violence, when used properly, attacks the all-encompassing system. Bear in mind that any success through pacifism (such as Indian resistance to British rule) occurred in an entirely different context than today.

So, if you desire to fight the powers that be, train yourself in the usage of deadly weapons, and other survival skills (e.g. know the wild edible plants in your bioregion). This isn't hard to do. Go to gun shows, check out some useful books more importantly, train yourself, because reading material pales in comparison to actual experience. If your library (basically the only good thing that a democratic regime produces) does not have any good books, you should use what is called an interlibrary loan. Also, get plenty of exercise, and eat healthy. In short, prepare for the fall (it's coming soon).
