Transcript of Ali Armstrong - John Hansard Gallery

A draft of this document was originally printed and circulated during the “GLOOPTOPIA” tour. A performance art Extravaganza investigating political hope. Com-

missioned by the Marlborough theatre in partnership with Unlimited.

It would not be possible to be here or indeed even sane without the success of that tour in March this year. In the penultimate moment of the final showing of the show; The gor-gon, (who shares a story of commucratic life) gives the audience the gift of her face. Or rather “the last thing you will ever see!” & Corona Virus promptly fulfilled that prophetic

moment.

So a huge THANK YOU! (in order of appearance) TO; Catherine Hoffman, Xavier de Sousa, David Sheppeard, Joe Verrent, Katy Baird, Cherif Hashizume, Olympia Bukkakis,

Joanna Le Querre, Ali Armstrong (guardian angel of glooptopia), Katy Fenwick, Anna Smith, Lise Boucon & Ruth Biene.

Also big love to the Marlborough Productions, Unlimited, Home Live art, ]performance s p a c e [ Folkestone, and everyone on the “COMMUCRACY NOW” LADA DIY at the Blue

Coat Liverpool 

At one point this production was blighted by an abomination; the worlds worst, rotating, stage.

A vision was in tatters, a dream at risk of destruction! The future uncertain; how could the show go on!?

“All the worlds a stage”-Bill Shakespeare.

Indeed. This one.

Just as we got through that, we can get through this!Happy Halloween!!!

COMMUCRACY NOW! THE REVOLUTION IS BUFFERING.NEITHER THE FIRST NOR LAST COMMUCRATIC MANIFESTOBY oozing gloop (on this occasion!)

“No Promises, no demands.”

-Pat Benatar. Love is a Battlefield, 1983“[T]he politics of demand is by necessity limited in scope: it can change the content of structures of domination and exploitation, but it cannot change their form… -every demand, in anticipating a response, perpetuates these structures.”

- Richard Day, Gramsci is Dead, pg.89, 2006

COMMUCRACY. To date it has never existed and no one knows what it is. Thus we cannot demand it of any existing structure & must be the architects of its fulfilment. WHY? I cannot live with ethics, dignity and freedom whilst my fellow Earthling starves in the street. Warning, of what will happen to me, should I fail to follow the consensus of capital. We cannot live freely, ethically or with dignity when this dispossession is part and parcel of our participation. In a world where a prison-industrial complex of a global colonial attempt is driving mass exodus on the daily; to service 8 or 18 bil-lionaires. People who have had earth given to them, telling us our 1

fortunes are tied to their fortunes for which we must work or die. A world where every resistance folds once more back into the integrated spectacle where the medium of money rules what it should serve. A world where to challenge my exploitation I must first become complicit in it, until I can no longer recognise what my liberation might be. A world in which my liberation is a drug experi-ence, fleeting, momental, euphoric and gone; consigned to youth.

Sorry, I can never remember if I need both my fingers and toes to count our overlords, or just 1my fingers.

But what is commucracy?COMMUCRACY IS DEMOCRATIC CONTROL OF THE COMMONSCOMMUCRACY IS A POLITICAL TOTALITY TO THE ATOMIC LEVEL OF (IN)SEPARATE EARTHLINGS COMMUCRACY IS THE HAPPY MEAL OF THE USSR COMMUCRACY IS AN EXPLAINED UNDERSTANDING AND AN UNDERSTANDING EXPLANATION OF A LIFE LIVED FOR FROLICING IN THE LIMINAL SPACE.COMMUCRACY IS THE CUP FROM WHICH WE CAN ALL DRINK

COMMUCRACY IS A NEW SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE THAT FACILITATES DEMOCRATIC ACCESS TO THE MICRO AND MACRO PRODUCTIVE FORCES OF OUR LIVES.

COMMUCRACY IS COMMUNIST DEMOCRACY. Democracy is to be ruled by a sys-tem in which you partake in ruling.Communism is an integrated mode of production that profits the peo-ple and not:

Owners (Billionaires, Bezos etc.)LandlordsColonistMasters KingsEmporersGod(s) Etc.COMMUCRACY IS UNDERPINNED BY A PIECE OF CONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLA-TION KNOWN AS THE B.L.A:BASIC LEVEL OF ALIENATION. Basic Income, Social housing &Free Healthcare.To ensure individual autonomy with-in collectivised living.

COMMUCRACY Is not Communism Communism is concurrent with Autocratic Stalinist Regimes and the Gulag. The dictatorship of the proletariat simply turned into a dicta-torship. Thus could not manifest the international solidarity in those 2

places ruled by the dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie. However Commucracy fully accepts the Communist Hypothesis; that the inequality of wealth, due to a subordination of labour to a cer-tain class. Which produces massive personal fortunes that are then passed on by inheritance, that then maintains that class. In a binary of haves and have nots. That this misappropriation of collective wealth to private gain is not inevitable and can change. AND THAT an equitable societal form is possible, practicable and this new collective living a po-tential worth pursuing. However other than this Communism is a vague allusion to a post political position. Whilst Commucracy is always aware of the inherently politic process that accompanies the promise of our potential. Commu-nism is the promise of a place whilst Commucracy is a place of process. COMMUCRACY Is not Democracy Democracy is concurrent with non-economic Parliamentary insti-tutions. As soon as you house politics, you evict it. Politics is happening at every point and juncture of our lives. Economics as a separate sphere simply appeases the current dominant class subordinating labour. The Bourgeoisie. Who can buy and sell governments, specifical-ly those who can access the Newscorp propaganda machine. Commucracy knows every aspect of life has a political process around which we need a praxis of inclusion, exclusion, accountability and appeal. Like, I really don’t want to be involved in meetings about municipal plumbing, nor should I, but if those responsible fall short they should be held accountable and if a decision I did not take part in should affect me negatively in some unforeseen way I should be able to appeal.

Because of these failures, the B.L.A (Basic Level of Alienation) is 2

predicated in commucracys’ foundation.

The BLA entitles one to a basic income so as to be able to lead a basic life unencumbered by welfare office discipline. Enough for groceries, hobbies, socialising etc. One may work as part of a collective and receive basic assets from that collective. But if you’re not 3

feeling it, you can tell anyone, family, colleagues or lover to fuck off and have something to bank on. The BLA entitles one to a social housing. Similar to council housing in the uk, only actually maintained, one applies to a social register and is granted housing in an appropriate area. If you need to leave that area, you transfer or exchange. Finally the BLA entitles one to Free Healthcare. Get your Dentistry, Hormones, sick note or whatever you need, for free, then go live your life.

The BLA manifests as Basic Income, Social Housing and Free Healthcare, but it is more than that. The BLA is a sublimated notion of equity, that is the simple partition of being born into a society re-quires no obligation for a sustained participation within that society. But equally that society serves to provide the possibility of your participation. That every person born can access a base level of abundant resources to ensure their autonomy and freedom from collective repression. Or converse-ly, that they can choose communal participation. It’s that ones bodily barrier is able to pass frictionless through society, unless they have chose to become sticky with social relations. Homophobia, Sexism, Racism and Transphobia, are all in violation of the BLA. Any act of invasive discrimination or social stonewalling is. Equally, it’s there to ensure should you receive any such prejudice, it shouldn’t really matter too much. Obviously they’re a dick, but aren’t experi-encing personal prejudice compounded by systemic discrimination. Not every situation will be able to accommodate every need all the time; but in the system there will be access to a social collective that can. Further an ac-countability, appeal and protest potential if there isn’t. We can tell each other to fuck off, but it’s unlikely we have enough to do with each other. Everyone can feign politeness long enough to get to a place where they can really let loose.

Despite being an essential component in the imagination of our current emancipation UBI fun3 -damentally maintains the wage structure system of our society; which is why it’s so agreeable to Elon Musk et al. who can see the inequalities of capital accumulation is about to kill off all their potential consumers. Basic Assets is elaborated at length on google if u just type it in!

COMMUCRACY is the Bastard Child of Communism and Democracy. With the strengths of both and the sins of neither. It is a direct response to a certain void within the left, not to fulfil that void; but to formalise it. The void being a space of freedom. Commucracy in that sense is a skull, a structured space of play, imagination and possibility. Allow me to contextualise; “Many central concepts of our political vocabulary, including communism as well as democracy and freedom, have been so corrupted that they are almost unusable. In standard usage, in fact, communism has come to mean its op-posite, that is, total state control of economic and social life. We could aban-don these terms and invent new ones, of course, but we would leave behind too the long history of struggles, dreams and aspirations that are tied to them. I think it is better to fight over the concepts themselves in order to restore or renew their meaning.”-Michael Hardt, Reclaim the common in communism, The Guardian, 2011The commucrat refuses this dichotomy between abandonment and invention. To restore and renew these terms is to neces-sarily reinvent them; and in doing so bring that history with us. Baptised anew. We cannot be confined or consigned to debating this shit. Of being forced to react time and again to atrocities that had nothing to do with us and are used to decry any attempts to move beyond the atrocities of contemporary capital.“ALL OPPRESSION IS CONNECTED, YOU DICK”-Stacyann Chin, All Oppression is connected. 2007

COMMUCRACY is the name of the knife that has cut through this.

COMMUCRACY IS NOT Democratic Socialism. Democratic Socialism being the name of a 20th century movement to that set out to achieve socialism through liberal democracy. Pri-marily by providing workers with rights and welfare. This was to appease leftist factions of capitalist nations so trade unions would not organise a violent revolution in allegiance with a global socialist system. Since the fall of the U.S.S.R and a global alternative we have seen an erosion of all the social equali-ties brought about by democratic socialism. Specifically since the 2008 financial crisis. Where we were told, repeatedly “THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE” to a bailing out the banks and austerity mea-sures. The bailout of the British Banking System in 2008 was £500,000,000,000. Five hundred billion pounds, all for nothing more, than to produce confidence in markets. CONFIDENCE. CONFIDENCE IN MARKETS THAT HAVE JUST PROVEN THEIR WOEFUL INEPTITUDE. THAT PUNISHED NO BOSSES. THAT DEEMED THIS DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY NO CRIME.“““Too Big To Fail””” They said. As we socialised the poverty of paying for this failure. This is testament to our lost imagination. There have deaths, dispossessions, repossessions, suffering and systemic starvation of the working classes because of this loss of imagina-tion. A suffering, no one, effectively, gives a shit or does anything about or because theres no one there to make them. DEMANDING EQUALITY FROM A FORMATION THAT INTRINSI-CALLY GENERATES ITS OPPOSITE is dumb.Sadly though, I would not be even remotely able to of typed this without these manoeuvres. So, COMMUCRACY, can and should seek to engage in existing structures of power, to protest them, hold them accountable, infiltrate them and reset their agenda. 4

Or rather, sometimes, we just have to do dumb things! ^_^4

8

BUT FUNDAMENTALLY COMMUCRACY SHOULD seek to break away and establish its own systems, collectives, narratives and rit-uals.We possess first The Body. The primary means of production.My autonomy, my space, my time.Then we bring these together to effectively seizeTHE MEANS OF SIGNIFICATION This means seizing the symbol sets that secure our social reality. Our aesthetics, our sounds, our stories, parades and commonality. We come together to produce solidarity, imagination, recognition, oceans of emotion, power, security and confidence. This is hoaw we shall summon a set of soviets for such a time as ours! WE SHOULD NOT STOP CELEBRATING EACH OTHER UNTIL WE HAVE PRODUCED FIVE, HUNDRED, BILLION POUNDS OF CONFIDENCE. 5

We should be confident in posing The Commucratic Question:What are the commons of this situation? And how can we democratise them? So that someone else besides a mediocre white man can benefit from this fucking bailout.5

COMMUCRACY AND THE KITCHEN CONTEXT AND COMPROMISE***Imagine, we have broken away from society and established a commucratic commune, congratulations!*** But now we must organise our meals together….THE MEAL IS THE COMMONIT’S CONSUMPTION, IT’S COOKING and IT’S CLEAN UP.So primarily we have consumers and cooks. Then clean up! No one knows better what to eat than those who eat.No one knows better what to cook than those who cook. Those who cook may say pasta carbonara is the best this to cook given what is in the kitchen now, it’s delicious, the ingredients are abundant, but going out of date soon, it’s obvious! BUT those who eat may agree, or disagree, as vegans, as vegetarians, as lactose intolerant meat eaters etc. How to resolve this? Direct democracy and detailed debate? No! Too many cooks spoil the broth! And frankly sounds exhausting. Each group should elect an accountable representative, so the two of them can meet, ham it out simply, efficiently and strategi-cally with minimal waste and discomfort. So I tell my repre-sentative my preferences one time, and they make sure the menu meets my needs every meal. Some weeks it’s boun-teous, other weeks it’s pasta and salad. Based on the CONTEXT we understand how to COMPROMISE, and see our representive if this context is too compromising.

10

I can then go back to working in the costume department! Whilst the kitchen is populated by the people with the passion for it! It runs smoothly; the more mundane duties get done on a rota basis! When we party this Saturday everyone has sick threads to wear from said Costume Department! Tailor made so we may all revel in the delightful specialisation of labour modern soci-ety is predicated with equity. Engineered with egalitarian principles. Not becoming god fore-saken beetle people grubbing in dirt to avoid ANY hierarchies. At least not all the time! NOTE THOUGH: This compassionate compromise is predicated by rote of being on a commucratic commune. In which we’ve Or mobilised a praxis of inclusion, exclusion, accountability and appeal. INCLUSION of Consumers and Cooks IN VOTING A REP.EXCLUSION of everyone but reps IN MEAL PLANNINGACCOUNTABILITY of Reps IF NEGLECTING NEEDSAPPEAL of Consumers or Cooks INCASE OF THE ABOVE Then we come to Clean-Up! The collision of the previous contra-dictions! Is clean up one task? Or is the clean up of the kitchen and the consumption separate? This is a question for the commucrats in that context to answer. But again we should apply this four met-rics; who should be included? Who should be excluded. I.e. it may be a bad idea having non-cooks cleaning the kitchen. Strategically speaking revolutionary fervour, whilst fun and necessary to stir the great spirit with exhilaration, ultimately sits within ones own frothing vision. This is amazing and necessary in flights of fancy and artistic ordeals. In which we craft and imag-ine new mythologies, letting us quilt functioning ideologies. But for Commucracy to be an economy of government that can function to guide revolution, resistance, reformation (urgh.) Estab-lishment of a new order and fictions fit to inspire us to reach that order it will also require somewhat more staking out. We require ambitious theory both within & beyond our experi-ence; that which is, cannot continue- but what is to come, comes from what we do now, here & in this moment.

11

SO YOU’VE DECIDED TO ELECT A REPRESENTITVE AMAZING! HOW? Democracy is not a dick measuring contest when 51 votes beats 49, unless you’re using an egoistic derivative of Democracy designed to promoted an inegalitarian process that illegitimately manufactures electoral mandate through misconstruction of “mass” approval. 37% of the population voted for BREXIT, in a highly contentious campaign of misinformation, funding violations, national inexperience with referendums and thus fostering inappro-priate electorate decorum.WE ARE LIVING IN THE POLITICAL EQUIVALENT OF THE THUNDERDOME WITH NO TINA TURNER! 13.9 million people, or 1 in 6 members of the uk population voted for the current government that has a functional majority. This is because a first past the post system of voting is deployed. This uses constituent boundaries, of unequal voter potentials to ensure that it is not the lowest common denominator that votes; but the most pervasive prejudice makes the vote. Like the North American electoral college. This is a demography subsumed to a geomocracy. It is a system that makes sure the nation and not the popula-tion makes the vote. An ethnic-miliatry-myth fantasies the boarders of collectivity, projecting them in on the citizenry even as the west projects weapons out on other citizens in the name of the self same democracy it denies the truth of. Contemporary democracy traces it’s roots to the French revo-lution. Used by merchants to displace the monarchy. The pow-er of the people against the divine right to rule. That “We, the people!” Was very much about certain persons taking the reins from the kings of old. Which we see now, still, transnational com-panies treat boarders that bisect bodies as barbed wire bangles in its’ boom & bust cha cha of crisis capital. By controlling the num-ber involved in a decision individual influence can run at maximal potential. Companies lavish in tax breaks, purchase candidates and spawn corruption under the maxim “one man, one vote”

THIS IS A MAP;Of the particular & the universal.

It is the astrological symbol for the sun & the alchemical symbol for gold. Alchemy was not the practice of turning lead into gold, but the quest for the spiritual sun; the point and praxis of convertibility and change. The distillation of this being “the philosophers stone” an abstraction or metaphor for the moment that makes & remakes any & everything from one thing to another thing. Like a wedding, when the golden band is put upon the finger & a family is made. Like a coronation, when a golden band is upon the head & a new lawmaker declared. A passport and a nation. You and the universe. They say silence is golden, because it is this moment of balance, where you are undisturbed by any screaming need or demand.

15

THIS IS A MAP;Of how to get there.

The universal & the particular is an impossible binary of two places we can never fully be. But it is by cycling between them, as a spinning planet orbits a sun we can complete the pattern and lead rich lives. This is voting. A performance art act of the population in which our communion is coronated. We all take our particular little points of view, our ballots; to the box- and say this should be the universal. A point arrived at through pol-icy, promise, debate, critique, inquiry and integrity. That univer-sal moment then descends differentially across the populace particulars. It is the process that can make & remake us make us people, legal, family, friends, equal, grievable.

Corrupting this sacred rite has given 4 apocalyptic premiers;Boris Johnson! A human Virus ruling in viral times; PLAGUE! Theresa May! Arms dealer & The Hostile Environment of; WAR!David Cameron! Architect of austerity and deprivation; FAMINE!Nick Clegg! & the £9000 tutition fee lie; THE DEATH! Of integrity.

This is the ridiculous state of our democracy!

WE LIVE IN A CLOWNOCRACY! Any idiot can play the fool and become king as long as the jokes grotesque enough! Sir Kier Starmer leading the workers party! A TV star turning American politics into a season finale! The post war po-litical consensus is falling apart and a thin parody of its announced aims. Accurate journalism now comes from The Onion & only The Onion.

I refer to this sad situation as a; SATIRÆRCHY! Satire IS the ARKHE! The Arkhe (ar-kay) is the sense-maker of a society. We are already very famil-iar with this; In the Patri-Arkhe it makes sense to be a man!6

A Higher-Arkhe imposes it’s sense making top-down.7

Mon-Arkhe centres around the singular Mon-arch as the literal embodiment 8

of sense making. The King is Dead! Long Live The King! Necrosis Immortal!SATIRICAL SITUATIONS REQUIRE SATIRICAL SOLUTIONS Irrational opponents effortlessly hamstring “serious” opposition.THE SAD STATE OF OUR CHAOTIC SYSTEM SHOULD BE THE SOURCE OF OUR GREATEST & MOST PROFOUND HOPE!Anything can happen! & it can be as stupid as you like! THUS:

COMMUCRACY IS A CARÆRCHY

CARE IS THE COMMUCRATIC ARKHE! CARE IS THE COMMUCRATS CURRENCY. WITH CARE WE WILL CRAFT SOLIDARITY!

THERE CAN BE NO REVOLUTION WITHOUT THE RESOLUTION OF RACISM.

SEXUAL LIBERATION IS A MATTER OF EMANCIPATION; sex based oppression is a gendered order of suffering! IF GENDER IS AN EFFECT POSITED AS CAUSE THEN WE CAN AFFECT A NEW CAUSAL ORDER! THIS IS WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TOSEIZE THE MEANS OF SIGNIFICATION!WE MUST BE SEEN, MUST BE SIGNIFIED AS, EQUAL IN REVOLUTION! We cannot shelve some kind of solidarity in favour of class solidarity and expect to get that solidarity. However we can offer ourselves to that task each and every time and offer commucratic methodologies to these struggles for self defini-tion so we can smash capitalism and have a new system ready to be meaning. WE NEED COMMUCRATIC MODELS IN PLACE TO ULTIMATELY REPLACEWE TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE OF CHIARA BERSANI!“A wasted opportunity. There were so many ways to use this moment. This virus, its easy move-ment in the world, could become an opportunity to remind us that we are human and as such we are fragile. We could have accepted together that all of us are mortal,”-Chiara Bersani on COVID-19 and disability

CORONA VIRSUS IS THE ULTIMATE COMMUCRATIC MODELUnifying the Global, Intra-Continental, Regional, International, National, systemic, economic, structural, institutional, civil, social, educational, familial, personal and psychic levels of our spectacular being! It must be signified there is fragile humanity; people that require care.

I DEMAND MY SOCIAL DISTANCE!Like the most fire meme you can never again find or the single .gif you watch a whole movie to capture; we must establish momentous equity! A virus is a half life, It isn’t even a living cell. With no passport it travels, with no mar-riage it loves and with no family it reproduces. Like all children of the atom a commucrat has a half life & the solidarities of our partial presence aligned within a spectral architecture can provide a new life without ruining this life. Let us share the thrilling fireside of this haunted house! Without burning out.

I DEMAND A BASIC LEVEL OF ALIENATION!

COMMUCRACY IS SEXY AND COMMUCRATS LOVE TO…

K.I.S.S.

KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID. SO IT STARTS WITH THE COMMONS.WHAT IS THE COMMON.WHAT IS THE SHARED,. WHAT IS THE EXPERIENCE.WHAT ARE WE DOING AND WHY ARE WE HERE.HOW CAN WE ORGANISE HOW TO DO THIS WITH OUT HAV-ING TO SPEND ALL OUR TIME ORGANISING ORGANISINGSO OFTEN, SO MANY THINGS ARE SHIT, BECAUSE OF PRI-VATE INTEREST AND THE PROFIT MOTIVE. ITS FOR THE PROFIT EXTRACTION OF AN OWNER, CONGLOMERATE, OR FRANCHISE, WHO HAS ALL THE AUTHORITY BUT NO PRES-ENCE. THE PEOPLE PRODUCING THE IMMEDIATE HAVE NO SAY OVER THE STRUCTURATION OF THAT SITUATION AND THOSE INTERESTED IN CHANGE HAVE TO CLIMB A BEAU-REACRATIC MANAGERIAL MOUNTAIN JUST TO FART AS SUCH, COMMUCRACY. Is an inquiry into form over content, it is a fundamental shift in the forms of thought. Or rather it’s a tool, medium or energy for building a space, place or home. No body tries to live in electric.

INVENT NOTHING. STEAL EVERYTHING IT ALL ALREADY EXISTS, IT’S ALL ALREADY THERE, BEZO’S, MUSK, JENNER GOT IT FOR US, NOW THEY MUST GIVE IN TO GIVING IT. OR GIVE UP THE PLANET. BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES ARE BURNING IT UP; AND WE CAN FIX IT TOGETHER, BUT NOT FOR FREE.WORDS ARE PRODUCTION, NARRATIVE IS PRODUCTION. SIEZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND PRODUCE A NEW WAY OF SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN SAYING. ÉGALITÉ, FRATERNITE, LIBERTY, BEYONCE 9

OUR CULTURE IS JUST RERUNS OF PAST NARRATIVE RE-TURNED TO EXPLOIT THE DESOLATION OF MEANING IN OUR CURRENT DESERT OF THE REAL. WHICH EXISTS BECAUSE THE BIGGEST CHAMPIONS OF CAPITAL ARE DEEMED “TOO BIG TO FAIL” THOSE NOTHING IS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS NOTHING. THE INVISIBLE HAND, THEIR OWN LAW, DICTATES THEIR FALL, THEY STAY.THUS NO NEW GROWTH IS POSSIBLE; WHEN THE DAY IN THE SUN NEVER ENDS FOR THOSE GNARLED, ANCIENT, WOODEN, SCOTRUMS. WHO BEAR NO FRUIT - BUT SUCK DRY, THOSE WHO WOULD. WE ARE LEFT WITH NOTHING. NOTHING BUT; THE POWERFUL ARE POWERFUL FOR THEY ARE POWERFUL AND THUS YOU SHALL WATCH X-FILES BECAUSE YOU WATCH X-FILES. STAR WARS FOR WE WATCH STARWARS. GHOSTBUSTERS, TOMB RAIDER. MAD MAX. TERMINATOR. THE LIST GOES ON.IF THEY WILL NOT PASS THE TORCH, WE MUST BURN THE FOREST. GUILT FREE.
