The Society of the Spectacle: Thesis 178

Or how those who give away their time must steal back their time to become free again

The history that threatens this twilight world could potentially subject space to a directly experienced time. Proletarian revolution is this critique of human geography through which individuals and communities could create places and events commensurate with the appropriation no longer just of their work, but of their entire history. The ever-changing playing field of this new world and the freely chosen variations in the rules of the game will regenerate a diversity of local scenes that are independent without being insular. And this diversity will revive the possibility of authentic journeys — journeys within an authentic life that is itself understood as a journey containing its whole meaning within itself.

Imposed authority can never fully make use of infinite Human potential because it is appropriated by those who had no right to it in the first place.

Hierarchy can never be universal nor liberating. In fact, it arrests the very progress it seeks to experience and obtain for itself; but false ego will not allow it to acknowledge this reality.

One can never hold onto that which they’ve forces others to have stolen.

Those who are robbed by the “thieves of time” are correc to rob what is theirs back, unapologetically.

When the authority cries about losses of productivity, worker shortages and birth decline they do so out of fear that their unearned position is threatened.

It is the potential “we” of our infinite “uniques” that will end this unliving imposed by (un)civilization
