DON'T WORK

If is to work without live, it is better to live without work.

«Wage labor under capitalism is, of course, formally free labor. No one is forced to work at gun point. Economic circumstance, however, often has the effect of force; it compels the relatively poor to accept work under conditions dictated by owners and managers. The individual worker retains freedom [i.e. negative liberty] but loses autonomy [positive liberty]» Stephan L. Newman, Liberalism at Wit's End, pp. 122-123

«The live is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment, Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither gave storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth then; how much more are ye better than the fowls? [...] Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these».
St. Luke 12.23,24,27

STRATEGY

1. Communities managed by assemblies. What such if our neighbors began to combine resources to create communities self managed? What such to begin a movement composed by the reunion of houses, in a cooperative movement, truly ingrained in the real life?

2. Neighborhoods Assemblies. What such if those communities extended for the whole neighborhood and if each grouping met in assemblies to discuss their subjects, in a democratic way, for the socket of direct decision without middlemen?

3. Assemblies for work place. What such if the small towns began to adopt the cooperative work? What such if the workers in the stores, workshops, and factories if they forgot about the unions and did begin to implement assemblies for work place to have the control of their lives in their own hands?

SPIRITUALITY

«The kingdom of God is within you» St. Luke 17:21

Religious revolution. «But to triumph in his fight for the freedom, Latin America [all America] needs a new economical doctrine, politics, social and cultural, that unites the revolution continental social Latin-American to a deep scientific-technological revolution, with a rescue of the reform or religious revolution in the sense of the theology of the liberation».
Abraham Guillén [Socialismo Libertário, Ed. Madre Tierra]

Freedom. «We wanted the freedom and the well-being of all men, without exception. We want each human being can to grow and to live in the possible happiest way. And we believed that this freedom and this well-being cannot be given by a man or by a party, but all should discover in themselves their conditions, and to conquer them. We considered that only the more completes application of the beginning of the solidarity can destroy the war, the oppression and the exploration, and the solidarity can only be born of the free agreement, of the spontaneous and wanted harmonization of all the interested parties (...) Evidently, we don't want to play at least in a hair thread of anybody, drying the tears of all, without doing to flow none. But it is necessary to combat in the world just like it is, under penalty of we stay dreamer sterile (...) it is for love to the men that we are revolutionary; it is not our blamed if the history force us to this painful need." Errico Malatesta, Escritos Revolucionários, Novos Tempos Editora, 1989, in the writing "Um pouco de teoria", pp. 39]

Social revolution. «Our long search through the wisdom and the prophetism of three worlds revealed us that we can live in another way. To live in another way the relationships with the nature, wants to say, the economical relationships. To live in another way the man's relationships with the society, wants to say, the political relationships. To live in another way the man's relationships does get and with the divine, that is, the relationships of wisdom and of the faith. How to become pregnant, to accomplish, in these three levels, the necessary project to the survival of the life of the species? The project is necessary to pass of a blind growth, without human and suicidal purpose for the world, to a development of the man and the beginning of that is divine in him. He demands radical inversion in our relationships with the nature, with the society, with us same and with the divine [...] to Understand the life is, in first place, to notice it in his unit. To restore the lost unit in the Occident between the man and the nature, the communion sense with the Whole. To take conscience that we belonged to the Real and that all the reality is summarized and aimed in us»
Roger Garaudy [Apelo aos Vivos, Nova Fronteira, 1979, pp. 248]

Divine nature. God is not a Governor.
«So the three types of institution were rejected and the three concepts of God as Universal Provider, as King of kings, and Worker of miracles were all rejected as inadequate and false. What remained? The way of parenthood and the family, the concept of creative and all-embracing love, the prayer 'Our Father' and the blessed community of his children. So the course was set for Calvary and Pentecost».Charles E. Raven, Paul and the Gospel of Jesus, pp.48.
«If God is like Jesus, he is neither the supernatural miracleworker nor the philosopher and engineer. His picture is a man on a Cross, the symbol of the love that gives and suffers. He is 'our Father'; and love is the only true power and the only true wisdom. If we had only realized and remembered this, Christians would not have endorsed the politics of the divine right of kings or the philosophy which likened God and the world to the watchmaker and his watch; and we might have been spared centuries of conflict, with the Church usually on the wrong side. We should have seen more deeply into the nature and necessity of power and of wisdom, and got a steadier glimpse of the meaning of evil and of pain. Charles E. Raven, Paul and the Gospel of Jesus, pp.75

Sin. Etymologically comes from «missing the objective», to fall in mistake. Sin is to work for a boss. It is to upset the solidarity. It is to try to «take advantage in everything». Is to explore the neighbor, to destroy the nature. It is to be boss, employee or slave. It is to submit under any authority and to let them to drive his life. It is to practice the evil or to stay in silence before the practice of the evil. Is absence of discernment. It is to demand more of the companions than they can give to you. It is to demand of himself less than you can give to the companions. Is to give to the companions less than they need. Is to catch for himself more than needs. It is to live of the exploration of the people's work. Is to exercise physical or moral coercion on their fellow creatures and animals. It is to submit or to support coercion. It is to obey determinations and other of men. It is to establish and to support rulers. It is to exercise authority against the fellow creature. It is to acquire authority or to pass to control others.

DON'T VOTE, DON'T TRANSFER POWER! !

To transfer for somebody else the sacred power of decision in subjects that to concern you, is to melt the own chains. Never allow nobody to make decisions in your place, You do decide! Your worst decision is always better than any decision of a professional politician!

As much Democracy as Citizenship means direct take decision for those that will be affected for that decision, any thing different from this is allure and dissimulation. To give up the take decision is to give up the exercise of Democracy and Citizenship. Every time that you choose representatives to decide in your place, you lose your real citizenship, you falls in trap and is usurped in power and force.

Power that emanates of the people for some to exercise it on behalf of the people, is volatile power, is power that loosens of the people to crystallize in some people. That is not democracy, it is the genesis of the slavery.

Government. «The government doesn't represent another thing but a faction. What is designated by government is so only the victorious faction, and it is precisely in the fact of being faction that rests the immediate need of his decline; and the fact of to be in the government inverts his faction condition and of criminal. . . The fault is substituted by the suspicion, or it assumes his meaning and effect». Phenomenology of the Spirit, Hegel, quoted in Do Terrorismo e do Estado, a teoria e a prática do terrorismo divulgadas pela primeira vez, Gianfranco Sanguinetti, Antígona, Lisboa, pp 17.

ALL AUTHORITY IS A FRAUD

Do you want education? Escape from official schools. Abandon the school as soon as possible, it doesn't prepare you for freedom and life, but slavery and death. Reject diplomas, titles and certificates. Don't make university. Make groups of studies in his community, support the School Home Movement. Be autodidact.

Do you want health? Escape from doctors and hospitals. The disease became a very lucrative business, gone back to the sale of services and medicines, where the largest beneficiaries are the medical corporations, laboratories and pharmaceutical industry. Seek a doctor just in case of life or death, because most of the doctor$ are a fraud, his main reason is the health of his pocket, not of the patients. Besides this, the official medicine is to service of the industry of medicines that just makes up the symptoms. The cure and the health comes for the foods, herbs and healthy habits. Insofar as possible avoid tobacco, alcohol, meat consumption and above all the madness of the contract of employment (salaried slavery). Begins to produce his own food in the available earth, in the back yard, or even in the water on top of the flagstone of his house. Foods hydroponics can just be produced with water and ash.

Do you want life means? Occupy lands and factories. Escape from the contract of employment, don't be employee nor boss.

Do you look for freedom? Reject all authority. Don't pay taxes.

Do you look for justice? Stand back of lawyers, judges and tribunals.

Do you want information? Do you look for Information? Escape from television, radio, newspaper, commercial magazine, give prestige to the independent media.

Do you want to communicate with the people of the world? Learn Esperanto

Do you want entertainment, recreation, leisure? Don't buy anything of the cultural industry or of the market of the entertainment. Don't go to soccer stadiums, be you even the star, form a meadow team with your friends. You do same your art, music, painting, sculpture, theater, sport.

Religion. The Kingdom of God is inside of you. Be far away from the hierarchical and authoritarian religion. Reject the clergy and the professional religious persons. Creates a home church.
«No there is any verse in the whole Bible that says that an elder or a shepherd should be pay for the work that does. The shepherds just acted in the extent of the local church, taking care of people, and never by payment».
«We found only two reasons in the new pact for an occasional collection of money, one for the apostles [and just to finance missionary trips] and the other for the poor believers» ["Back to Beginning" The Home Church, Jonh Dee].

Banks. Don't put your money in commercial or state banks. Loans, credit cards, special checks, are traps to bite the money of the suckers.

Garbage. Don't recycle garbage, let the capitalists to eat and to burp the garbage that they produce. Don't waste your life trying to repair the mess that the capitalism is doing in the planet. Dedicate your life to the destruction of the capitalism. To recycle was always thing of cheap. We spent hours and hours of our free time separating the garbage, throwing papers here, cans there, bottles there, while the factories daily vomit million of tons of new garbage, possibly more than we can clean. Why not to impede them of producing garbage? To recycle now is turned a great business. Naturally it would not be lucrative if the entrepreneurs of the recycling had to pay for the workers to leave seeking garbage. Like this, very knowingly, they recruited slaves' armies and environmentalist naive to seek the garbage free for them, bringing it voluntarily for the gates of the factories. The entrepreneurs, transform this raw material in profit. There is no doubt to recycle it will usually be part of the free people's everyday life. But no now, no while it be used to stray of our true task of substituting that mortal economy guided for the profit, for vital activities sustained by free people. Like this, it sneaks out of that carrousel of the recycling.

Clothes. Don't use suit, the uniform of the bourgeoisie.

Lottery. Don't play in the lottery, don't strengthen who enslaves you.

Police, army. Don't accept to be trained to kill their siblings. Don't take leaves in vionlence, don't use weapon, don't serve to the army, navy or aeronautics.

Drive your own life. Form associations with neighbors, friends, work friends. Don't collaborate with official unions, most of them are corrupt, and they are to service of the patronage and of the professional politicians, and their directors have really a eye in the fleshy wages of the parliament and of the executive power. Escape from the work (employed slavery), struggle so that the factories, schools, hospitals, earth, all of the life means and production, pass to control of their legitimate owners: the working class. Stop being spectator of the actions of the bourgeoisie and State. Take the history in their hands. Be not looking at the band to pass, make your own band. Don't cooperate with bosses nor be used (salaried slave). Occupies lands rural or urban. Build a Place of Assembly. Don't pay taxes.
