RLF, the resistance to capitalism by capitalism!

RLF The art of resistance
Monday February 10 at 23:45 p.m. (52 min)


The acronym RLF was born from the phrase of the German philosopher and sociologist Theodor W. Adorno: "Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im Falschen" ("There is no real life in false life."). The group of activists wants to prove the contrary. According to him, one can lead an authentic life in an adulterated environment. Launched at the initiative of the Berlin architect and designer Friedrich von Borries, the political activist Slavia and the Berlin artist Mikael Mikael, this protest movement, supported by ARTE Creative, has the motto "Consuming, c 'is to resist ". The objective: to fight the capitalist system with its own weapons. During the demonstrations of May 1, 2013 in Berlin, RLF launched its first action, relayed on November 6 on the Internet with the launch of the game "Start-a-revolution", developed by the digital production company UFA Lab. Open to all, it invited candidates to express themselves on political, economic and societal subjects, to imagine actions, and thus to become "shareholder of the revolution". But RLF is also a company which designs design products with artists, which it then sells, including by cooperating with well-known brands. The sums collected finance alternative projects. Alexander Dluzak's camera has followed the rise of this movement and its enterprise of "gamification" of the revolution.

Any protest movement that takes place inside the system that it claims to fight can, at best, only offer a diversion sowing (a little more) confusion and false alternatives that reinforce ultimately the Totalitarian Merchant System.

This is the case with the immanent criticism of the "Front de Gauche", which fights so that capitalism puts itself at the service of all (absurd performative contradiction)!

The kind of slogans deployed by this "RLF" resemble those of the "novlang" ofOrwell...

Oh but we have hit rock bottom for a long time!
Now we are digging! : Mrgreen:



Ahmed you write:

As superorganism the STM has acquired its own logic, it therefore creates within itself underlying organisms guaranteeing its safety, immune "agents" in a way.
Likewise, other "useful idiots" style agents that allow, as you have noted, to foster doubt in those who have become aware of the problem.

In a swimming pool, the fact of touching the bottom makes it possible to take support to go up, this analogy does not unfortunately apply in our case and the brutal and too late realization of the labile character of the "civilization of money" ( perfect oxymoron!) won't suddenly light up those she had previously flabbergasted ...
