Ive already said this but I cant help saying it again. When people realize that we are systematically exploited and the rules of laws, ethical standards, cultural atmosphere and so on are all completely against who we are, we simply lose the reasons to follow any of the customs and rules forced upon us. What is the point of paying respect and the dues when our compliance would further solidify the order and structure which strangle our existence? In fact, if we have any sense of dignity and will to be humans, we would simply destroy the oppressive structure surrounding us. Imagine a single fact of our children, hundreds of them, being shot to death, and that results in us being surrounded by people in military gears telling us to calm down and obey the law at gun point. That is a time when we realize that we are dealing with an inhumane criminal force. I applaud the courage, determination, and their will to be humans by rejecting the tools of oppression in the community of Ferguson. Those who fail to understand the desperate situation and chastise the oppressed people to be peaceful and obey the laws are solidly the part of the force of exploitation and subjugation. Why not stand with the oppressed and demand justice and humanity for them? Why not renounce the violence committed by the authority and point out the illegitimacy of its power? Instead, why do those people of the empire look at the burning buildings and cars with contempt and point out the fact that the oppressed are no longer following the rules and order of the empire? Why do they talk about bringing them to the police, judicial system, and legal system, which have splendidly failed the blacks over and over while showing contempt and violence directly aimed at them? I have no more patience for those who casually talk about rule of laws, peace, non violence and etc. in demonizing the oppressed. Those words have been repeated by the oppressors to keep the blacks in misery of the status quo of police killing, mass incarceration, structural violence, criminal banking schemes, and systematic assaults on their communities for so long. Look, we are facing a real revolt against the empire. The burning cars and buildings are the screams of the dead children and a direct challenge against the imperial abusers and its ruthless ways. My thoughts are with those who are on the edge forced to set fire in their community to break away from the imperial cage. And, friends, I hope you can feel the wider reality outside of the empire where all of us, not just some of us, share the values of humanity and we reach out in building a new, better tomorrow.
