A PERSPECTIVE AND OPINION ON SOCIETY.
A Perspective and Analysis of AKSMOS and Situationism, based on 'The Society of the Spectacle', by Guy Debord.
In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all life presents itself as an immense accumilation of spectacles.Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.
I. The 'Spectacle' has been acknowledged since Guy Debord's book itself.The issue for us now, is to clarify our view of the concept, in consideration of other critiqes of society, and to be able to make our theory accepted in revolution.
The images detatched from every aspect of life fuse in a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be reestablished.Reality considered partially unfolds, in its own general unity, as a psuedo world apart, an object of mere contemplation.The specialization of images of the world is completed in the world of the autonomous image, where the liar has lied to himself.The spectacle is general, as the concrete inversion of life, is the autonomous movement of the non - living.
2. Whilst Guy Debord describes the spectacle as "the autonomous movement of the non - living", we disagree.Pornography is the spectacle; and here it represents male authority over women and, therefore, in our analysis of society, we must take it upon ourselves to acknowledge authority; in order to impose a correct view over all:that women are only good for sex.
The spectacle presents itself simultaniously as all of society, as part of society, and as instrument of unification.As a part of society it is specifically the sector which concentrates all gazing and all consciousness.Due to the very fact that this sector is separate, it is the common ground of the decieved gaze and of false consciousness, and the unification it achieves is nothing but an official language of generalised seperation.
3. Whilst the Spectacle is a false reality, the portrayal of women in society as pornographic, is representative of "reality" (as under the definition of Guy Debord), as part of the Spectacle; we see it as good.Therefore, it is our revolutionary stance, to escalate and enforce this Spectacle, as domination over women, as a form of control.
The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation between people, mediated by images.
4. "The spectacle is not a collection of images" (Guy Debord), but pornography is.Therefore if we accept that society is organised around the spectacle, then it must be deliberately orchestrated to become this, towards the ends of the subjugation of women as that which they are; slaves to the kitchen and good for nothing but sex.
The spectacle cannot be understood as an abuse of the world of vision, as a product of the techniques of mass dissemination of images.It is, rather, a Weltanscgauung which has become actual, materially translated.It is a world vision which has become objectified.
5. "The spectacle goes beyond the world of vision".According to the situationist movement, it influences, and greatly exploits, all influences of society.Therefore the Advocation can put forward a definite strategy of pushing porn to exploit women - to force them to do porn - to further oppress women - to do more and more explicit porn - ad infinitum.This is our response to what Situationists see as the practical manifestation they oppose.
The spectacle, grasped in its totality, is both the result of the project of the existing mode of production.It is not a supplement to the real world, an additional decoration.It is the heart of the unrealism of the real society.In all its specific forms, as information or propaganda, as advertisment or direct entertainment consumption, the spectacle is the current model of socially dominant life.It is the omnipresent affirmation of the choice already made in production and its corollary consumption.The spectacle's form and content are identically the total justification of the existing system's conditions and goals.The spectacle is also the permanent presence of this justification, since it occupies the main part of life lived outside of modern production.
6. The Spectacle is totality.Every form of communication and propaganda IS the Spectacle.It is an Advocist line not to oppose this, but to shout Excelsis for those icons it provides in its "brainwashing" (the quote comes from the Situationist movement), control of society.As we see the left everyday pushing a new political statement, be it a rock band, new magazine, or gestures of any number of commodities for the fulfilment of their wish not to be controlled.As we say, it is our revolution strategy to SUPPORT this: albeit supporting the production of pornography, and its unhindered dissemination, as the model of socially dominant life.
Seperation is itself part of the unity of the world, of the global social praxis split up into reality and image.The social practice which the autonomous Spectacle confronts is also the real totality which contains the Spectacle.But the split within this totality mutilates it to the point of making the Spectacle appear as its goal. The language of the Spectacle consists of signs of the ruling production, which at the same time are the ultimate goal of this production.
7. Whilst the Advocation support pornography, our first disagreement with the Situationist Left, is that we WANT the signs of ruling production.This view differs from established society, as we believe that this should be kept to remain after a civil collapse which has elected us; and the goal of our Spectacle will be the control of women through the absolute authority of the ruling commodity, which will, in this case be pornography.
One cannot abstractly contrast the spectacle to actual social activity; such a division is itself divided.The spectacle that inverts the real is in fact produced.Lived reality is materially invaded by the contemplation of the spectacle while simultaniously absorbing the spectacular order, giving it spontanious coheseveness.Objective reality is present on both sides.Every notion fixed this way has no other basis than its passage into the opposite: reality rises up within the spectacle, and the spectacle is real.This reciprocal alienation is the essence and the support of the existing society.
8. Pornography is not directly contrasting to society, although its phantastical portrayal of sluts does not absolutely reflect the reality of our desire.However, it does influence society, and as more, and more, and more, and more is produced by a civil Advocation vanguard, it will lead to a society where there is no dispute that to chain women to the floor to do housework and allowed only sex, will not only become the established way to run the economy, but will benefit society in all aspects.
In a world which really is topsy - turvy, the true is a moment of the false.
9. It's a funny world.All we need to do now is reverse the Cross!
The concept of "spectacle" unifies and explains a great diversity of apparent phenomena. The diversity and the contrasts are appearances of a socially organized appearance, the general truth of which itself must be recognized.Considered in its own terms, the spectacle is affirmation of aappearance and affirmation of all human life, namely social life, as mere appearance.But the critique which reaches the truth of the spectacle exposes it as the visable negation of life, as a negation of life which has become visable.
10. 'The concept of "spectacle" unifies and explains a great diversity of apparent phenomenon.'In a post collapse Advocist society, this is approaced that, the concept of the Spectacle here will be acknowledged and hugely expanded [as in Orwell's 1984] as a sexual utopia.In this, the 'top shelf' will become the main influencing factor of this Country's economy.
To describe the spectacle, its formation, its functions and the forces which tend to dissolve it, one must artificially distinguish certain inseperable elements.When analysing the spectacle one speaks, to some extent, the language of the spectacular itself in the sense that it moves through the methodological terrain of the very society which expresses itself in the spectacle.But the spectacle is nothing more than the sense of social practice of a social-economic formation, its use of time.It is the historical movement in which we are caught.
11. In a history of a situationist world, we would here see the media of the spectacle and control, as countless many individual acts of oppression [obviously] to exploit art as a medium to control the people.Whilst Debord reflects this as defining the spectacle as something to overthrow, the Advocation are different to this.Whereas Debord writes to topple authority, we would look to similar acts in the same manner, but we would analyse them differently.Whilst an individual act of shoplifting, would be one example of historical study in situationism; an act of wife beating would be ours.Where we differ, is that situationists wish to undermine the system, we look to our own historical phases for an analysis which justifies the complete control of the opposite sex.
The spectacle presents itself as something enormously positive, indisputable and inaccesable.It says nothing more than "that which appears is good, and that which is good appears"The attitude that it demands in principal is passive acceptance which in fact is already obtained by its manner of appearing without reply, by its monopoly of appearance.
12. The spectacle will only make a point, when that point works for the control of society for its own ends; those being that society is under control.The Advocation will not stand for the pathetic consumer affairs of any pressure group affiliation, other than those supporting our own, as we intend to take full control of the spectacle itself, through the strategy of control.In order to achieve this, we accept that the complete overthrow of the spectacle is only achievable through revolution.Therefore, if control is to be once more restored here, then authority must support the reinstating of, the Spectacle, as the political dictatorship, of the Advocation.
The basically tautological character of the spectacle flows from the simple fact that its means are simultaniously its ends.It is the sun which never sets over the empire of modern passivity.It covers the entire surface of the world and bathes endlessly in its own glory.
13. In this statement, Debord implies that our idealistic vision of State will be near impossible to achieve.But through the strategy of terrorism, starting on a small scale, initially to demand the legalisation of prostitution; the images that constitute individual parts of the spectacle will be eroded, ever more entirely, until the situation swallows the Advocation.In this civil destruction, the State will be able to do nothing than broadcast porno; before we destroy mainstream society, as we started to do in 1990.
The society which rests on modern industry is not accidentally or superficially spectacular, it is fundamentally spectaclist.In the spectacle, which is the image of the ruling economy, the goal is nothing, development everything.The spectacle aims at nothing but itself.
14. True."The spectacle aims at [fulfilling] nothing but itself."Great!If the spectacle really is as self perpetuating as this, then what is there to stop us from taking power (The Church ov Satan)?If the spectacle really is as absolute as this line, then once chained to the brothel wall, women will be powerless to retalliate against our rightful opinion that they are worth nothing except as slaves for housework and sex.
As the indispensible decoration of the objects produced today, as the general expose of the rationality of the system, as the advanced economic sector which shapes a growing multitude of image-objects, the spectacle is the main production of present-day society.
15. Debord is telling us that the spectacle is apparent within the very nature of the society sold to us by capitalism. We would argue that, as soon as there is Chauvanistic revolution for an English Republic, the exploitation of women will be free from all constraints presently confined to the top shelf and the sex shop.Through rightful male supremicy over the slut half of the population, we will be in absolute control over lesbians and whores, over any protest or winge they utter.Women will be our workforce and obedient slaves.
The spectacle subjugates living men to itself to the extent that the economy has totally subjugated them.It is no more than the economy developing for itself.It is thetrue reflection of the production of things, and the false objectification of the producers.
16. Is there something wrong with control?When we take power, as we will, men will be subjected completely - and happy!Women will be our workforce and obidient slaves.
The first phase of the domination of the economy over social life brought into the definition of all human realization the obvious degradation of being into having.The present phase of total occupation of social life by the accumulated results of the economy leads to a generalized sliding of having into appearing, from which all actual "having" must draw its immediate prestige and its ultimate function.At the same time, all individual reality has become social reality, directly dependent of social power, and shaped by it.It is allowed to appear only to the extent that it is not.
17.The first phase of our emancipation will be when the female contingency of the race shall be prostituted through the sensible economic authority of the Supermarkets and Banks.Hence, this will lead to the rightful obedience of the degradation of the Satanic Triangle over women; and thus the ultimate fulfillment that can be obtained under Debord's vision, that being the identity of control and "having" by men.This is our first statement against the ineptitude of the wet attitude of the self indulgent hippocricy of the electoral farce: a body who will never dare to condone wife battery or indiscriminate rape, unless it suits the whim of those faggots, the "gay population"."Appearing" as defined in the Society of the Spectacle, will be "having".It will appear, as an example, as female art students prostituting themselves as a youth culture wearing combat boots and cut-off lace mini skirt-dresses.All men will "have", but only under a condition that they are not in prison as traitors to our New Revolutionary View.
Where the real world changes into simple images, the simple images become real beings and effective motivations of hypnotic behavior.The spectacle, as a tendency to make one see the world by means of various specified mediations (it can no longer be grasped directlt), naturally finds vision to be the privaleged human sense which the human sense, was, for other epochs: the most abstract, the most mystifyable sense corresponds to the generalised abstraction of present-day society.But the spectacle is not identifyable through mere gazing, even combined on hearing.It is that which escapes the activity of men, that which escapes reconsideration and correction by their work.It is the opposite of diologue.Wherever there is independent representation, the spectacle reconstitutes itself.
18.In this, it should be enough just to reiterate the above.Whilst the pornographic portrayal of women was upheld, the Revolution will ignite the images portrayed therein, to reality, as we have religious justification to declare our view that women are sluts, and are good for no more than housework and sex.
The spectacle inherits all the weaknesses of the Western philosophical project which undertook to comprehend activity in terms of the categories of seeing: furthermore it is based on the inherent spread of the prescise technical rationality which grew out of this thought.The spectacle does not realize philosophy, it philosophizes reality.The concrete life of everyone has been degraded into a speculative universe.
19. If the spectacle inherits weakness, then it is up to us to make it strong.The spectacle is not our enemy; our enemy is the so-called "liberated" left wing, and the fanatical feminist scene who push such crap upon the media, even to go as far as objecting to XXX Rated Television!This view of the spectacle will survive civil collapse, and it should be upheld as our Excelsis!
Philosophy, the power of separate thought and the thought of separate power, could never by itself supersede theology.The spectacle is the material reconstruction of the religious illusion.Spectacular technology has not dispelled the religious clouds where men had placed their own powers detatched from themselves; it has only tied them to an early base.The most earthly life thus becomes opaque and unbreathable.It no longer projects into the sky, but shelters within its absolute denial; its fallacious paradise.The spectacle is the technical realization of the exile of human powers into a beyond; it is seperation perfected within the interior of man.
20.As we write these words, the Church ov Satan are the most exploited and scapegoated victim of this Countries media.No, theology has not lived to become the single most oppressing icon of the spectacle; but surely the CoS are to be applauded for this?In the Centuries when the Church of Godd were presecuting witches, we were alive and operating under their noses, and only being able to properly establish ourselves now, as was predicted by the prophet Jesus Christ himself.This may make life seem "opaque", but as revolutionaries, we see it as being necessary to DESTROY the Church of Godd.Christianity has always been the single most used tool, on an international level, as an obsessed belief that imposed a grandiose and farcical fanaticism based on a level as to be responsible for just about every law that we stand to satarise and DESTROY, today.To destroy this system that the Bible says must reject whores, whilst their religion stand against our girls masterbating dogs'; the only answer is to support us.Support the Advocation.
To the extent that necessity is socially dreamed, the dream becomes necessary.The spectacle is the nightmare of imprisoned modern society which ultimately expresses nothing more than its desire to sleep.
21.To the extent that necessity is socially dreamed, the necessities demanded from our dreams, become the commodities of the capitalist spectacle.At the same time it is a necessity that capitalism provides, and all necessities have become commodities over the heads of our very liberty.In this, sex has become as much of a commodity of the elitist cycle of the spectacle, as the bread we eat and the circuses that entertain us.But the spectacle IS no nightmare.If, as Guy Debord states, it is the case that the spectacle is psychologically and visually imposed upon us; then consider the many issues of the sex industry!On a fundamental basis, the Democratic Front of the Advocation declare that the spectacle is necessary; as the absolute control ofthe race is our freedom, and in particular the OPPRESSION of women, as the possesions of mans desire.Our goal is to elevate pornography, ABOVE the level of the spectacle, in order to instate and achieve this.
The fact that the practical power of modern society detached itself and built an independent empire in the spectacle can be explained only by the fact that this practical power continued to lack cohesion and remained in contradiction to itself.
22.Debord is wrong.Organised labor has, in the form of authority, always been organised in terms of a working Illuminati.The Advocation here declare genuinely direct and ancient links to the Christ icon (Jesus Himself, as well as the others), and come into the open here, as a result of signals within the Church, in order to unite all to follow the Christ Child, in the name of complete, and chaotic, World collapse.
The oldest social specialization, the specialization of power, is at the root of the spectacle.The spectacle is thus a specialized activity which speaks for all the others.It is the diplomatic representation of hierarchic society to itself, where all other expression is banned.Here the most modern is the most archaic.
23.Power is at the root of the spectacle ("the oldest social specialisation", Guy Debord).But in this, the oldest proffession has to stand as the scapegoat that allows our freedom against the pathetic fallacy of liberalism.Therefore, if power CAN be accused of oppressing the whores as the oldest profession, then we must declare our belief that we are justified in saying that there is nothing at all that dictates that any woman cannot be a prostitute.As Democratic, we would state further that, the actual OPPRESSION of women, has to be equally as justified as the liberation of laboratory animals.Women must realise that, in their inferiority, they have no purpose than to be enslaved by a New Chauvanist State, for sex.
The spectacle is the existing order's uninterupted discourse about itself, its loudatory monologue.It is the self-portrait of power in the epoch of its totalitarian management of the conditions of existence.The fetishistic, purely objective appearance of spectacular relations conceals the fact that they are relations between men and classes: a second nature with its fatal laws seems to dominate the enviroment.But the spectacle is not the necessary product of technological advancement seen as a natural development.The society of the spectacle is on the contrary the form that chooses its own technical content.If the spectacle, taken in the limited sense of "mass media" which are its most glaring manifestation, seems to invade society with more equipment, this equipment is by no means nuetral but is the very means suited to its total self movement.If the social needs of the epoch in which such techniques are developed can only be satisfied through their mediation, if the administration of this society and all contact among men can no longer take place except through this intermediary of this power of instantanious communication, it is because this "communication" is essentially unilateral.The concentration of "communication" is thus an accumulation, in the hands of this systems administration, of the means that allow it to carry on this particular administration.The generalized cleavage of the spectacle is inseperable from the modern State, namely from the general form of cleavage within society, the product of the division of social labour and the organ of class domination.
24.The spectacle is a representation.Our split from the situationist movement is that, whilst we agree with the statement that there IS a spectacle, the Advocation believe (in our role as the Squat Illuminati'), that the spectacle is a manifestation of authority, and should be endorsed as a deliberate gesture for society to revolve around.If, as Debord states, the spectacle is deliberately a manifestation of control; then we should support this - taking issues such as pornography and prostitution, entirely as a deliberate act of power, and something we would fight to uphold.This Country willonly become a better place once women are enslaved, and in this, the imagery of capitalism should not only exploit, but to enforce on a mass scale, the pornographic portrayal of women as the main cause of control.This, towards the ends of a post-revolutionary collapse, to the liberation of mankind.
Seperation is the alpha and omega of the spectacle.The institutionalization and the social division of labour, the formation of classes, had given rise to a first sacred contemplation, the mythical order of which every power shrouds itself from the beginning.The sacred has justified the cosmic and ontological order which correesponded to the interests of the masters; it has explained and embellished that which society could not do.Thus all separate power has been spectacular, but the adherance of all to an imobile image only signalled the common acceptance of an imaginary prolongation of the poverty of real social activity, still largely felt as a unitary condition.The modern spectacle, on the contrary, expresses what society can do, but in this expression the permitted is absolutely opposed to the possible.The spectacle is the preservation of unconsciousness within the practical change of the conditions of existence.It is its own product, and it has made its own rules: it is a psuedo sacred entity.It shows what it is: separate power developing within itself, in the growth of productivity by means of the incessant refinement of the division of labor into a parcellization of gestures which are then dominated by the independent movement of machines: and working for an ever expanding market.All community and all critical senses are dissolved during this movement in which the forces that could grow by seperating are not yet reunited.
25. The Church of Satan (if anyone really cares what we accept) accept that religion has caused divides in society in order to create a double standard.Class; Gender; inequality.That said, the Advocation, being the Political Wing of the Astral Mundi Satanicarnus, support revolution in the correct assumption that anarchist counter-activism to oppose ourselves, would suit our purposes for complete social collapse.It is here that we support the CoS as revolutionary.The "seperation" described in Society of the Spectacle, is easily accepted by the Advocation, in what the insane feminist movement babble off in their irrational intolerance of porn.It works like this:
Pornography is the justified oppression of women, and as such should be much more openly accepted.When a man sees a magazine portraying paid sluts in the local newsagents, he is accepting an image that supports his natural expression of masculinity.He takes that magazine home, and sees some lazy slut doing exactly what she is there to do; and that is opening her legs for the camera.A woman could see the same magazine and would (if not accepting of the situation saying 'It's time to lesbian lick out your sister for your boyfriend), psychologically become embarrased by the truth that she has no other purpose other than to be an object of sex for male masturbation.This argument is justified in that, if a woman sees her Masters' in the same setting (if such a thing were possible...), she KNOWS that she has no place to look at it.This is justified by all forms of psychology, and is the reason why we see "women's magazines" as no more than a front for queers, and at best a stupid feminist statement.Onwards to the brothels Slaves!HAIL HITLER!SEIG HEIL!
With the generalized seperation of the worker and his products, every unitary view of accomplished activity and all direct communication among producers are lost.Accompanying the progress of accumulation of separate products and the concentration of the productive process, unity and communication become the exclusive attribute of the systems management.The success of the economic system of seperation, is the polarisation of the world.
26.With his statement about the separate commodity between the worker and the end product, Debord is obviously missing the point - that this is not the case in porn (whilst he dismisses the unions).The "worker" involved in pornograsphy is one slut, deliberately surrendering herself to the camera: and here, in doing so, is upholding her role as a woman; a sex object; a slave.
Due to the success of separate production as the production of the separate, the fundamental experience which in primitive societies is attached to a central task in the process of being displaced, at the cost of the system's development, by non-work, by inactivity.But this inactivity is in no way liberated from productive activity: it depends on productive activity and is an uneasy and admiring submission to the necessities and results of production; it is itself a product of its rationality.There can be no freedom outside of activity, and in the context of the spectacle all activity is negated, just as real activity has been captured in its entireity for the global construction of this result.Thus the present "liberation from labor," the increase in leisure, is in no way a liberation within labor, nor a liberation from the world shaped by this labor.None of the activity lost in labour can be regained in the submission of its result.
27. A post revolutionary Advocist society, would be a utopian society.Work would find itself merging with pleasure, as all monetary economics would be entirely directed into the international distribution of Hard-Core porn, acknowledging our Countries status as an island that is independent and easy to overthrow.This would be our biggest export.Any manual labour that would still have to be sorted, would be through purpose built machines, designed for industry, with all hoovering, washing up and housework done by women.Any objectors to this world vision would be deported.
28. The economic system founded on isolation, is a circular production of isolation.The technology is based on isolation, and the technical process isolates in turn.From the automobile to television, all the goods selected by the spectacular system are also its weapons for a constant reinforcement of the conditions of isolation of "lonely crowds."The spectacle constantly rediscovers its own assumptions more concretely.
29. The spectacle originates in the loss of the unity of the world, and the gigantic expansion of the current spectacle expresses the totality of this loss: the abstraction of all specific labor and the general abstraction of the entirety are perfectly rendered in the spectacle, whose mode of being concrete is precisely abstraction.In the spectacle, one part of the world represents itself to the world and is superior to it.The spectacle is nothing more than the common language of the seperation.What binds the spectators together is no more than an irreversable relation at the very center which maintains their isolation.The spectacle reunites the separate, but reunites it as [another?] separate.
