Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army in Rostock 2007

by http://guerrillaradio.iobloggo.com/

Roll up, roll up - ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, friends and foes - welcome to the unparalleled, the unexpected, the perfectly paradoxical, the grotesquely beautiful, the new-fangled world of the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA).

We are rebels because we love life and happiness more than 'revolution'. Because no revolution is ever complete and rebellions continues forever. Because we will dismantle the ghost-machine of abstraction with means that are indistinguishable from ends. Because we don't want to change 'the' world, but 'our' world. Because we will always desert and disobey those who abuse and accumulate power. Because rebels transform everything - the way they live, create, love, eat, laugh, play, learn, trade, listen, think and most of all the way they rebel.

We are clowns because what else can one be in such a stupid world. Because inside everyone is a lawless clown trying to escape. Because nothing undermines authority like holding it up to ridicule. Because since the beginning of time tricksters have embraced life's contradictions, creating coherence through confusion. Because fools are both fearsome and innocent, wise and stupid, entertainers and dissenters, healers and laughing stocks, scapegoats and subversives. Because buffoons always succeed in failing, always say yes, always hope and always feel things deeply. Because a clown can survive everything and get away with anything.

This is a very creative way to protest. It is a very creative way to disrupt people's unconscious-taken for granted way of thinking...

Creativity is what we need now.

Ich bin links, ich weiss das Engagement zu schätzen aber durch diese Aktivität wird der Linken geschadet. Gegen Bullen vorzugehen, ist immer der schlechteste Weg. Sich wie Irre aufzuführen, hilft auch wenig. Politik ist und bleibt der einzige Weg.

@singecretin Why not ridicule socialism too? All forms of collectivism and statism glorify weakness. Fascism pretends to glorify strength, but only collective strength (which is based on individual weakness).

[singecretin]

@IggyHazard Call it labour division, but there are already other teams that are fulfilling the part of ridiculing fascists. Look for the German Apple Front (Front deutscher Äpfel) :)

@direction88 I would love to see a cop beat the shit out of you. Hopefully it would get posted all over your local news as another story of police brutality. That would be so awesome man.

These riot cops need a steam roller

Why are these clowns pro-Palestine? I can understand being anti-internationalist, but if they're against internationalism, they should also be against Islamic authoritarianism. On the subject of ridiculing authority, why do they ridicule Western authority? Why not the REAL fascists of the European Union? As for being pro-Palestine and anti-Bush, why ridicule what they perceive as fascism only to support another form of fascism? That's the real joke here.

falls er doch zur linken gehört hat er vieleicht schon ein bewegungsprotokoll über dich angefertigt :D

[Atzeone86]

endlich einer der es begriffen hat

[MetalheadPogofreak]

ach und auf die straße gehen zeichen setzten ist keine politik? ich finde es gut den sie bleiben friedlich und zeigen ihre abneigung gegenüber der polizei

[direction88]

I would love to see the cops just go berserk and beat the living shit out of that retard with the water gun and the douche with the horn.
