the left is literally littered with insular secular cults
devoted to their pantheons of lenin, trotsky, and marx
to overcome the satanic forces storming the gates of power
will require ideological flexibility morphing constantly hour to hour
the power of the marxist matrix is blunted by mental sterility
eaving its adherents recycling tautologies like fundamentalists with their ministries
red jesuits sacrifice anything in the name of their prophets of choice
what we need are revolutionaries armed and ready-striving to speak in harmonious voice
rebuilding the left is a project that takes on urgency nowadays
the forces of bigotry and empire are swimming in hubris and breeding new plagues
red jesuits will never be up to the tasks of building a resistance that can fight and win
revolutionaries must arm themselves with new road maps for where to begin
the theorists of the marxist canon were brilliant in their day
but to apply the theory to reality requires our movements to use our own brains
we must evolve innovative praxis integrating divergent insights
building power to transform this system—bringing human creativity into the light
in the revolutionary movements of our time red jesuits will have no place
rote theoretical incantation will be superseded and replaced
the power of our resistance is amplified by theoretical foresight
forging common ground between revolutionaries—socialist, anarchist, and otherwise
evolution and revolution are the twin pillars of this seismic era
heory evolves to meet the challenges of this moment—or it fades like a chimera
