BUT THE EYE OF MODOR IS UPON YOU
The classic
scene in the 19th and 20th centuries – part fact, part
fiction – when the officer orders his men to open fire on the starving workers
as the bread riot gets underway, and, one by one, the soldiers lower their guns
and then turn them on the bloody officers. It’s the cliché tipping point of
revolution. Am I deluding myself with wishful thinking that Edward Snowden,
Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, all the way back to Daniel Ellsberg, are a
more modern version of the same revolutionary. Can all those wage slaves at the
NSA, CIA, GCHQ, etc. fucking over their comrades and spying them night and day become
mad as hell and refuse to take it any more. Okay so the crypto-fascist
cocksuckers in power are watching every move we make. Fuck ‘em. Give them the
finger and go on making the move. They can’t arrest all of us. That’s welcome
to Planet Gulag.
