NEVER WORK!

n°1 – FINAL

From ediciones inéditas

This small magazine is the product of the desire to create something beyond just text, the way anarchist magazines of the past often did. To bring together humor, wit, analysis and powerful images (or at least attempt to). This is not to further market the image of rebellion, since nothing is for sale here, but to join in on the proliferation of a visually antagonistic radical culture that speaks to place, history and culture here in occupied Tongva territory, city of Los Angeles (just don’t call this Art.).

Who do the passionate communards work for?

"I will then become a worker: such is the idea that stops me, when the mad rages push me towards the battle of Paris - where, however, so many workers continue to die while I write to you! Work now, never again." 1 Rimbaud

Since 1871 - the year in which the "accursed poet" wrote this letter - it was not necessary to be a "seer" to see the obvious: the masses of workers who fought on the barricades in Paris continued to work. That "wildcat strike" in front of the Versailles authority was, in turn, a new job that produced new obligations and condemned them to perpetuate work in saecula saeculorum. Such deep reflection, in the midst of a necromancing trance, probably prompted Rimbaud to question: who were the passionate communards working for? prophesying a system of domination based on direct democracy as the axis of political-social management, which ensured the permanence of authority and continuity of work.
