REVOLUTION CEASES TO BE THE MOMENT IT BECOMES
NECESSARY TO BE SACRIFICED FOR IT IT IS FORBIDDEN
TO FORBID NEITHER GODS NOR MASTERS DOWN WITH

ART IS DEAD DOWN WITH A WORLD WHERE THE
GUARANTEE THAT WE WON'T DIE OF STARVATION HAS
BEEN PURCHASED WITH THE GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL
DIE OF BOREDOM CLUB MED, A CHEAP HOLIDAY IN OTHER
PEOPLE'S MISERY DON'T CHANGE EMPLOYERS, CHANGE
THE EMPLOYMENT OF LIFE NEVER WORK CHANCE MUST
BE SYSTEMATICALLY EXPLORED RUN, COMRADE, THE
OLD WORLD IS BEHIND YOU BE CRUEL THE MORE YOU
CONSUME THE LESS YOU LIVE LIVE WITHOUT DEAD TIME,
INDULGE UNTRAMMELED DESIRE PEOPLE WHO TALK
ABOUT REVOLUTION AND CLASS STRUGGLE WITHOUT
REFERRING EXPLICITLY TO EVERYDAY LIFE, WITHOUT
UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS SUBVERSIVE ABOUT LOVE
AND POSITIVE ABOUT THE REFUSAL OF CONSTRAINTS,
HAVE CORPSES IN THEIR MOUTHS UNDER THE PAVING
STONES, THE BEACH!

Internationale situationniste in 1969. "The death rattle of the
historical irrelevants," said Zbigniew Brzezinski.
