about

In the United States context, living conditions under capitalism and the state may provide us with an adequate means of survival. As we all know and feel, our existence is about so much more than survival. We have too little time for life and fully giving ourselves to the people, places and ideas that we love. This can come in the form of what some call wage slavery, performing a task we hate or are indifferent to in order to maintain barely tolerable physical and existential conditions. The truth is, when we don't own our time we are living in a cage of sorts. not as blatant as a prison cell, but a cage nonetheless. Up and down the ladder of social hierarchy, along each line of race, class, gender, sexuality, etc. we find all methods of caging in an effort by the dominant order to tame our desire and ability to live without them. For the time being, we have to find ways to operate as best as we can within our position in society. That might mean working a job we hate, feeling the loss of our autonomy with each minute stolen from us, while channeling our anger and frustration toward something meaningful. When we can, devising moments of creation with our comrades and loved ones, moments worth living, enacting our ability to live without coercion and ownership. Simultaneously, devising moments of attack against the sources of our fear and the guards of our cages.
(Luke)

lyrics

I wish I could always do what’s right.
Live up to the standards that I have.
I’m afraid that knowing theres a problem.
Ain’t enough for me to change my life.
Oh but I’m so tired.
Too tired to do anything.
My times not mine most of the time.
So what can I do anyway.
I wish I could always do what’s right.
Live up to the standards that I have.
I’m afraid that knowing theres a problem.
Ain’t enough for me to change my life.
Oh but I hope it’s here.
These small actions change my mind.
Oh but I hope it’s here.
In these rooms I change my life.
