![[:en]ZORF // VORF 24.10 – 11.11.2017. Tovarni rog](https://adriafest.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/22861850_731474120379338_965121413882124988_o.jpg)
If the last few centuries have shown us anything, it is the fact that revolutionary hiccups are something in the realm of a quite ordinary historical lunch. But this means not that we should roll with our well-fed backs on the floor and fed-up limbs in the air! This would be the kind of lack of action we can not and dare not afford.
Dear all, the New Human code will be written in a language most revolutionary. But the New Conduct of our Life and Living still requires its first Very Ordinary Revolutionary move. The Main Question is: how, oh how do we handle a good game of politics? How, oh how do we engage in the most simple of tasks such as a food supply chain may be, if we are the way we are:in awful shape, analytically incapable, financially incompetent, with a will fairly unfortunately redefined into a mere dream or desire.
How, how to act politically if we are indeed not motivated? Some of us, since we haven’t left the warm parental nests, some of us, since we haven’t abandoned the petty precarious fruits of culturally-funded projects, and for some – an utter fail: we were and still are unable to say no to social welfare.
Oh well, at least we keep up a good spirit.
So as you may have figured this will be nothing more than an ordinary revolution. A smaller flip. Of what coin? Of Modri Kot. Of other places in Rog as well. So, Ljubljana, prepare!
We hit on, full throttle on October 24th an keep the walls of Rog in action until November 11th. This is something we are quite able to do for now. Let your ambitions for more and bigger not fool you – such moves require heavy preparation, for the revolutionary marathon is a steamy, demanding task.
Our first intervention is set out to pervert how we do things in Modri kot. The darkness on the parties has been most atomising. We are stuck in that darkness of self-censorship in front of reality. And because of what? Quite clearly, we are in a state of ecstatic alienation from the space around us, due to the socio-political traps because of which and within which we exist.
As for the space – we maintain it, barely. As for the people, we poison ourselves.. with opiates, with liquor, soft and hard, yes, with consumption, constant consumption which swallows us, until we are the ones who end up being consumed. Of all possible choices we had we are only left with choosing our mortal dose. Will it be six beers? Or eight? Or twelve ? Of all possible reasons to organize we fell as low as to counting drinks. Our clubbing culture devoured our brains, so how do we bring back thought?
Therefore we have decided to intervene. We shall take over production and consumption in Modri kot and every day, every night we shall search: for the self and the other, the common and one’s own.
This is the moment in time when we can make that search, make
a stop, grab a few breaths and look into what are those wonders which influence our actions, where these wonders come from and where on Earth they are taking us.
Yes, we can pause and wonder at them wonders. Wonder at the mistakes and courage of our ancestors. We can lift the curtain from the space around us and say NO to the above-mentioned darkness that surrounds us, so we can look into our modest thoughts and actions which dare to swim within words most tremendous and feelings most thundering.
Yes, we can finally take into consideration that we are on the threshold of political work of the kind that is most hard, which may give birth to fruits at a time most late.
What is obvious is, that repeating past patterns will not bring us very far. So we need to flip things, turn them around, start a debate, kill a debate, read, write, explore how to act and how to make the possibility of finding gaps where our preconceptions have laid themselves comfortable, how to open pores and brain spaces for a better understanding, how to stir a common action of support, how to struggle, how to organize, how not to agonize, but to mobilize.
You are therefore kindly invited to join the gang of thinkers, turn the tides with the doers, be a part of the Events and act !
The main action is taking place in Modri kot, but very little can prevent us from defending other walls of our beloved factory. We shall try to put the average, normal, marginal and weird together, and try to play a wise game. We aim to put more weights on the scales and provoke a fervent resistence.
*** we will continue to collect voluntary contributions for the costs of court proceedings against the 8 Rog comrades which have put themselves through the legal process. Autonomous Rog Factory exists because of such strong willed political struggle, which is all but an easy task. Every cent counts, so thank you in advance.***
