"I wrote articles and leaflets. I have no illusions about the radical nature of
this activity. She retains certain types of alienating social relationships, andI am fully aware of this, but I write in the hope of being inspired by something
other than writing. I hope that something unique about what I have written will
affect another unique personality, allowing us to break down the wall of written
words and provide opportunities to get to know and act together. This usually
does not happen - the social relations of printed words, as a rule, remain
unchanged. " ---- Feral Faun ---- If you peer into the gap between the trees in
the park for a long time, it begins to seem that you are asleep. More precisely,
everything you have seen so far is actually a dream, and you are only now
beginning to realize it. At such moments it seems that one has only to linger a
little on the glare of the sun - and you will rise upward, fly with the ease of a
dream ... The line between reality and sleep becomes ghostly.
The feeling that everything around is dreaming sometimes arises on the Carpathian
slopes. It appears now almost imperceptibly, sometimes capturing headlong into
its surreal whirlpool, full of fantastic colors and amazing pictures. And then
everything appears with a slight tinge of waking dream. Time in this dream flows
according to different laws. It's hard to say what happened two days ago and what
happened on the first day of the trip. The thread of time is lost, and only
records link events to dates. The alarm clock is forgotten, instead of it - the
internal time of the body, tied to solar cycles. You wake up with the first ray,
and when it gets dark, you just stop and settle down for the night. It doesn't
matter at all how long you are on the road and how much time is left before
returning to the stuffy embrace of the urban world.
But nevertheless, in prisons there are different regimes of detention. Both
Kharkiv and Lvov claim to be "progressive" and "intellectual" regional centers by
Ukrainian standards. Both here and there it is paid for at the expense of the
periphery, being sucked out at the minimum cost. Although it is a little more
difficult to go to a European gentleman on a bus from Gagarin Avenue than from
Stryiskaya Street - if this happens in Kharkiv, it often ends up. Meanwhile, the
land of wild spaces or former enterprises, torn by metal fences, here and there
is gradually becoming office and residential boxes.like sprouts of bamboo that
little by little cut into the body of the executed. Is there a greater monument
to the regulation and destruction of conquered territories and lives than a city
under capitalism, even if the fruits of exploitation mostly settle somewhere
behind the shade of the sun - after wood from mountain forests?
Abrasions of clearings on protected mountain slopes
To discuss possible harmonious alternatives to this order of things, when some in
human society eat others, and all together - squeeze the juices from nature, two
dozen girlfriends and friends of the planet gathered at an eco-anarcho-camp
organized by the Lviv Ecoplatform in one of the national natural parks ... To
take back at least a few days from August 19 to 22 as a catalyst for collective
and personal doubts, as a starting point for building and strengthening our ties
and solidarity. For all those hands that support us, for all those eyes that
follow us!
After a few days, most of those present will already return to their usual
routine work for someone or for themselves . But all this will come later. In the
meantime - the joy of meeting, getting used to the new environment, arranging
tents and so on that is needed to build a short-term freedom from everything
oppressive and depressing, from the Internet to alcohol.
And so, the main topic of conversation of the public is vegan grubs, clothes,
concerts. For lectures, presentations or seminars on non-everyday topics, there
were no cumulatively even several hours, despite the fact that meetings were
convened twice specifically to determine the time for them. "In theory, such
events are held to exchange experiences and opinions on theory, ideology,
strategy of activism and actionism. Up to the creation of new cells of movement
and coordination of joint actions. Nobody needs it here. In the same way, it was
possible to get out with the guys from the area to have a drink on the lake.
Weekend club ", - one comrade says wearily through clenched teeth, returning with
us after another trip to the mountains. Such is the paradox: people who are far
from anarchism can perfectly self-organize when they have a common goal and
interests, while at the main Ukrainian event of a black-and-green orientation for
5 years in a row, this community is just absent.
Fresh morning of a new day
Still, there were half a dozen willing to debate about social ecology in its
entirety, breaking spears among themselves several times a day until the throat
dries up. And sometimes, during many hours of conversations, my head began to
spin - either from the acrid pine smoke, or from the number of facts and
inferences presented, or from the grandeur of our aspirations and dreams ...
"The proletariat must become a wall that will stop the expansion of industrial
imperialism, " wrote Emilio López Arango, the ideologue of the Argentine Regional
Workers' Federation, one of the largest anarchist movements in world history , at
the beginning of the last century . " Only in this way, by creating ethical
values capable of developing an understanding of social problems in the
proletariat, regardless of bourgeois civilization, can one come to create the
inviolable foundations of an anti-capitalist and anti-Marxist revolution that
will destroy the regime of large industry and financial, industrial and
commercial trusts."
Where will this wall come from when it, sometimes reviving in some separate
quarter , collapses as quickly and unexpectedly as it appeared? Live
communication is interrupted again, the flow of communication disintegrates and
is exhausted. There remains a minority of the minority , a passionate handful
that still have the strength and desire to continue. Maybe everything will change
or will begin to change after the sale of agricultural land, when the flow of
landless pilgrims of globalization knocks at the doors of key Ukrainian cities at
work? Only time will make it possible to understand this.
... Yes, we always have to look at the clock. Time flows through your fingers
much better than sand. We feel the sand by touch. Time passes silently, like a
skillful thief. We can only see and evaluate the consequences of its course. And
while everyone is busy at best with this, our everyday life will further become
ruins, and new wild and relatively wild territories - gray corpses.
