American Futurist Manifesto: Alexander Slavros

AMERICAN FUTURIST MANIFESTO
ALEXANDER SLAVROS
Behold, America, the land of opportunity, where it was born and where it was shot dead
and left to bleed out and decompose on the side of the road. This used to be the place to
be if you wanted a new start, if you wanted to run away from the life of the Old World –
instead you got exactly what you were running away from and then some. What is this
great nation if not the putrid concentration of all the worse aspects of the decay that had
taken over the Old World way back when?
The Old World followed those who sought freedom and wanted to impose its order on this
soil as well – our ancestors replied to that with a revolution. The Founding Fathers declared
independence but sowed a poisonous seed, one that was full of the very rot that was killing
Europe, but while Europeans had something distinctly their own to fall back on in order to
fight death – America had nothing. So our ancestors kept running, running away from
anything resembling a system and law, to the frontiers where a man still had a chance to
make something of himself without a damn Big Brother watching over the shoulder to nag
and impose limitations, where law was defined not on some paper but by your own ability to
defend what you’ve carved out for yourself.
But soon enough the poisonous seed spread its roots all across this land and eventually
there were no more places left to hide or run away to. And yet that is exactly what many
people still want today.
Immortality is in the fountain of youth – drink from it and go back to your beginning, but
where can Americans go? The constant debate on who is or isn’t betraying the law of the
Founding Fathers, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence – it is completely
irrelevant, because it is the source of our decay. Whatever is good in the constitution isn’t
an accomplishment of some dead men, but rather stems from the principles that brought
people to the New World in the first place, principles that predate the Founding Fathers;
whatever is purely of the Founding Fathers in the constitution is the disease that is killing
us.
“This is our world now, our world, and those ancient people are dead.”
To hell with the past because the past is what’s killing us, strangling us and won’t let go
of our throat until we cut it at the root. Our fountain of youth isn’t in adherence to the
writings of dead people; it is in those principles that brought our ancestors here in the
first place – it is in the life of the frontier, in a political no-man’s land, it is in the life
before and after a civilization and the desire for that life is engraved deeply in the mind
of every true red-blooded American that didn’t succumb to being a slave of this system.
It is clear as day that what an American wants is to be free to travel from place to place,
no laws but what his own, true freedom. Bikers are the last cowboys, pensioners want to
travel the country in their RV’s, while rednecks, racists, tribalists and survivalists all try
to isolate themselves from mainstream society and create their own soc ial environment
in the woods, compounds and settlements that they create themselves.
Our pop culture is riddled with expressions of this desire: movies, TV-series and games
about a zombie apocalypse, a post-apocalyptic future, a collapse of our society are
immensely popular in society and amongst people who wait for the fall of society in
particular as they now cold steel weapons and guns for these scenarios (namely the
zombie apocalypse) – we want our civilization to fall and crumble around us because we
live in a rotting corpse of a prison, and once it falls apart we’ll be able to get a glimpse
of the sun.
We like to talk about freedom but in reality we are all slaves in a multitude of ways.
We’re not merely slaves to a defunct state through our dedication to dead men’s words
(that most can’t be bothered to remember anyway, making it an irrational drive instilled in
us through generations); we’re not merely slaves to corporations through consumerism;
we are foremost slaves to each other. In agreeing to a social contract with a state as the
arbiter we had all willingly given up our freedom, true freedom. Instead we have a system
of mutual limitations – I limit your freedom and you limit mine and we must accept it at
that because that is the law, the social contract enforced by the state that holds the
monopoly on violence in order to sort us out if we suddenly attempt to practice real freedom.
Real freedom allows us to sort each other out, whoever comes out victorious by imposing
his will, be it through manipulation, coercion or force, affirms his freedom – no state, no
lawyers, no third parties. You and me, here and now.

Naturally guns become a great tool in the affirmation of one’s freedom and the establishment
of one’s law because his reach is extended as far as the bullet will take it, splattering the
brains of whoever dared to challenge you and yours. No, this will not bring about anarchy of
everyone against everyone, because nature declared men are not equal, through this constant
push and shove of establishing dominance and the freedom that comes with it leads to the
formation of gangs, groups, tribes, movements, where every person is put into the exact place
where he belongs: the leader, the right hand man, the warriors, the lookouts, etc. depending
on the nature of the group. Want freedom? Bring down corporations to emancipate yourself
from consumerism. Crush the banks to emancipate yourself from debt. Burn down the night
clubs, gyms and fast food joints to emancipate yourself from hedonism. Destroy the system,
to emancipate yourself from everyone else around yourself. Want freedom?
End this “American” way of life. Wipe your ass with the constitution.
This is the call of American Futurism:
1. We want to bring about the complete and rightaway destruction of American civilization,
to blast this society free from its own history.
2. We aim to do that by utilizing its own systems, technology and mechanisms against it.
We will jump at the wheel of American civilization and push it into overdrive until it
crashes and burns, forcing us into a clean slate.
3. We stand for the true American way of life, where your freedom and happiness are
determined by you alone.
4. We will make way for a new American Frontier, one that exists around every corner for
every American.
And just as our Italian Futurist predecessors:
1. We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness.
2. The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, audacity and revolt.
3. Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no masterpiece that has not an aggressive
character. Poetry must be a violent assault on the forces of the unknown, to force them
to bow before man.
4. We want to glorify war — the only cure for the world — militarism, patriotism, the
destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas which kill, and contempt for
woman.
5. We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism and all opportunist
and utilitarian cowardice.
