The Virtues of a Disorganized Resistance
by: Stephen DeVoy

"American opposition movements have always focused on the notion of organization.
It has always been their goal to organize the people.
Their hope has been to wield the collective power of the disaffected, downtrodden, and exploited as a single unit against the concentrated power of the ruling class.
While their hope has been noble, their methods have been foolish.
Organized resistance has many drawbacks.
These drawbacks have seldom been discussed by the opposition. We believe that the only effective resistance is a completely disorganized, decentralized, and leaderless opposition.

While, on the face of it, this claim may impress you as absurd.
Of course it seems absurd! It is counterintuitive.
Never the less, it is the ONLY method of resistance that will work within American society.
We will explain why organized resistance has never worked in the United States.
In addition, we will promulgate a new formula for effective resistance.

Why has organized resistance failed in the United States?

There are many reasons for the failure of organized resistance. The two primary causes of failure are intimately connected to the culture of the United States and the political system laid down by our nation's founding fathers.

The Cultural Cause

Americans, culturally, are anarchists. Few Americans realize this. Most Americans have a false understanding of the term "anarchism."
However, upon examining the beliefs of your average American, you will find that most Americans: do not trust leaders, do not trust government, wish to be left alone, value their privacy, think of themselves as independent from society, do not believe that there is a systemic solution to their problems, believe that others should be free to do what they choose, provided they do so in private and do not harm others.

While it is undeniable that political culture in the United States often speaks to the opposite of the above list, it is also undeniable that most Americans register as neither Democrat or Republican and most Americans do not vote.
Thus, despite the political culture, most Americans choose not to participate in it.
This is not only due to their belief that the American political system is hopeless, but also is due to the cultural clash between the wider culture and the political culture.

Any attempt to organize large numbers of Americans into a single political movement will fail.
Any attempt to create an organization led by a strong group of leaders will fail.
Americans reject submersion into the collective.
In a sense, Americans are anti-collectivists.

The Political Cause

American political culture is not ideological.
Politicians attempt to draw ideological distinctions between the two major parties, but these distinctions are a matter of splitting hairs.
The only significant difference between the two political parties is the degree of compassion represented by the rhetoric of the two parties.
Compassion is not a political concept.
Compassion is an attitude.
Thus, the two parties differ, primarily, in attitude and not ideology.

Despite this, there remain two political parties.
One is prompted to ask "why?"
If each party is basically the same, with respect to ideology, why do they not merge into one party?
The answer to this question is best found in viewing each political party according to its true nature.
American political parties are, for all intents and purposes, organized crime units.
American political parties have more in common with the Mafia than they have with their counterparts in more democratic societies.
Like Mafia, each political party competes for control of territory in order to maximize the benefit to their business constituency.
Like Mafia, the political parties attempt to mold the system to maintain their positions and access to resources.
Like Mafia, the political parties force the average citizen to pay "protection" under the threat of violence (taxes).
Like Mafia each political party uses the "protection" money collected for its own advantage.

By defining our political system in terms of the "majority" and the "opposition," our Constitution enshrines this two mafia system into law.
Each Mafia passes laws to exclude new comers from the game while focusing the rest of its energy in destroying the other Mafia.

Thus, any resistance movement that chooses to become an organization is in competition with these Mafiosi.
The deck is stacked and the power of the state, wielded by these organized crime units known as the Democratic and Republican parties, will waste the time and resources of any newcomer.
A newcomer can only succeed by rejecting the political system, draining its resources, and undermining the rule of the state.

How is disorganized resistance superior?

In some societies, dissidents become heroes.
In American society dissidents are systematically slandered, libeled, harassed, and villainized.
If they become successful, they are murdered (e.g. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X).
In the American experience, movements that look to leaders are decapitated. Leaders are a liability, not an asset. Organizations can be (and are) infiltrated.
Organizations can be taxed.
Organizations have legal responsibility.
Organizations have membership lists and lists are wonderful tools for the oppressor.
Organizations take on a life of their own.
They struggle to exist and their continued existence takes priority over their mission.
Organizations attract opportunists, power mongers, and attention seekers.
Organizations tend to exploit their rank and file for the benefit of their inner circle.
Disorganizations share none of these defects.

Bureaucracy cannot comprehend disorganization.
Disorganization is invisible.
The asymmetry of the relationship between organization and disorganization favors disorganization.
Organization depends upon planning.
Planning requires predictability.
Disorganization cannot be predicted.
This leaves organization at a disadvantage.

Organization requires a supply chain.
Supply chains can be disrupted.
Disorganization depends only upon the resources of its members. Supply chains that do not exist cannot be eliminated.

Disorganized movements rely upon swarming.
Swarms are difficult to defend against.
If you cut a swarm in half, you have two swarms.
If you eliminate one of the resulting swarms, you still have a swarm.
Disorganization breeds.
Organization grows.
The many and dispersed are a more difficult target than the large and concentrated.

Organizations takes their steps by design.
If the design is flawed, the organization fails.
Disorganization relies not upon design but upon evolution.
The motivating notions of disorganization are memes.
Memes evolve and memes compete.
This process improves the motivating notions of disorganization. This process produces multiple courses of action.
While some may fail, others are likely to succeed.
Taken as a whole, disorganization is more likely to succeed.

The important thing to remember is that it is easier to destroy than to create that which is designed.
Thus, the cost to those who lose the manifestation of their design outweighs by leaps and bounds the cost it takes to destroy it. That which evolves is cheap and when an effort is created to destroy the evolved entity, it merely mutates and evolves again, adjusting to the new conditions.
As a process that fosters evolution, a movement based on disorganization will continue to survive, evolve, and expand without cost.
The resource constraints placed upon the designed (e.g. government and corporate) and those absent from the evolved (a decentralized and disorganized opposition movement), favor the later.

The limits of disorganization

We do not propose a complete absence of organization. Instead we propose a disorganization of units.
Units can be as small as a single individual, or as complex as cell of individuals working together.
Cells may be internally organized, but they should not be statically organized cell to cell.
The movement should have no commander.
It should have no central committee or governing body.
No global plans should be made.
The modus operandi of each unit should be to think globally and act locally.
Ideas, strategies, and tactics should float freely and compete as memes within the medium of the collective conscious.

Conclusions

We need to construct a disorganized movement.
You need not apply to join.
In fact, it might be better if you did not contact anyone except those with whom you wish to form a unit.
Your ideas, strategies, tactics, and lessons learned should be spread anonymously or by word of mouth.
When you act, should you decide to act in resistance, attribute your actions to "the Resistance."
The growing din of disorganized disruption will be felt as an earthquake.
There will be trembles.
There will be pre-shocks.
The tension will mount and, in time, there will be an earthquake. When that earthquake strikes, the organized edifice of the oppressor will fall like a house of cards."

Sounds like HOPE-filled naive middle-class babblings, preaching what we should do generally, wasting time, with the chip in place during a time of conflict or social rife, THEY will know WHERE you are...

Its like someone pretending its 1962 or something.....

The problem is, most of us have NOt lived through WAR directly, seen a real police state, LIVED through the fear.

I have only lived in 2 nations AT war, but not in war....

I have felt the mass fear of trains being stopped and evacuated because of BOMBS, and hearing the bombs exploding on a Saturday night, but never being bombed....

I have seen the mass hypnotic gathering of hundreds of thousands mouning Dianna, a media creation, their hearts and wills painfully manipulated....unwilling to see outside the box, at a mass illusion, ignoring their children crying that they are hungry or wanting to go home....

I understand the idea written here, but were shit to really hit the fan, in a cashless, scientifically controlled society.....I mean shit hasnt even BEGUN to happen, the void might be filled soon....the next chess move.....it could be anywhere.

Imagine a dozen car bombs in Sweden over a few weeks.

The mass media hype, people horrified DEMANDING something be done.... the dabate about CHIPPING to save us.....keeping an EYE on everyone for ALL our sakes....

The disorganized rebellion can only happen if the will is there, I understand the idea, it is hopefull, but were the corrupt few to REALLY up the stakes.....

Dont you see the pieces of the chess game being aligned?

Preparing fo the next big move, The Fabians or the Facists.. the pendulum swings....the choice to make....

When the elite get even more afraid or nervous, they do more drastic things... the Mass Vaccinations were a small test and social-conditioning... too see how FAR they could push people, watching, waiting, gathering info...

Who will DARE then when hardly anyone dares now? ; )

All that talk you posted, it sounds nice, but like too little too late...

But you NEVER know hehe.... I could be very wrong, really, and just want to grow carrots for the most part ; )

Fantastiskt bra inlägg, rocket! Jag är hyfsat organiserad av mig och är framförallt aktiv i hierarkiska organisationer, men det har alltid varit något som känts lite fel med dem. Tror du satte ord på mina känslor, gav mig ett alternativt perspektiv. Mycket tacksam och det är det som jag känner är poängen med vaken. Plötsligt händer det!

Tror att det är en bra idé. Enklare att få dagens människor att säga "Nej tack" än att organisera dem i nån sorts motstånd. Vara aktivist är väldigt ute. Om nån annan därute jobbat som chef förstår ni vad jag menar... Räcker om folk är tillräckligt skeptiska så kan det vara frustrerande att manipulera dem, från båda håll.
