Crimeth Inc. Manifesto, Part 72-A

Crimethink can be reached from the subway station with a double somersault. It's a mere multiple orgasm from the grocery store checkout and a stone's throw from the courtroom witness stand. But from your homes, schools, workplaces and scenehouses, it's a lot harder to get to Crimethink - only a mystical revelation or a revolution (without a leader) will do. Crimethink riots instead of fasting (riots rather than diets) in order to love yourself, body and soul.

Crimethink cannot be captured by photojournalists' cameras. Crimethink dies upright before it lives on its knees. However, you are most likely to find Crimethink on the run - maybe just like you?

Crimethink is the burning thorn bush in the desert of industrial society - a piece of untamedness that can be found between the thighs of those who do not submit to ideals of beauty and are therefore not only the freest but also the most beautiful. Crimethink is revenge for the shitty flag on the moon.1

Crimethink doesn't speak, it just acts; if it speaks, then only when speaking is acting. Crimethink stakes out its territory where the body is the staircase effect of the world and it proudly pauses before the abyss of abstraction. Crimethink tells you: I enchant you because you are mine.

The market manages the managers, the hierarchy bosses the bosses, capitalism owns the haves - crimethinkers, on the other hand, are real people, free and wild.

You have to be good enough as a crime thinker to be able to behave like a crime thinker towards your own crime think. Crimethink is not the same as CrimethInc. – Crimethink is more the spirit of playful destruction that CrimethInc. saves from himself.

For Crimeth Inc. Contradictions are like fences: they are created at every opportunity to save themselves from ideology and paralysis. At the same time, CrimethInc. after revolt, loud enough to be heard everywhere, at least before the end of the year. 2 If you listen carefully to the silence, you will hear the thunder rolling within it.

Crimeth Inc. is the hip gnosis of a new youth rebellion that goes beyond both youth and rebellion. Crimeth Inc. is a non-prophet organization: it is full of love, but when it comes to swearing allegiance it becomes more nadaist than dadaist, or in other words: it leaves all isms behind. Crimeth Inc. is beautiful, CrimethInc. is ugly. In a world where everything has been copyrighted by greeting card companies, by phone card companies, by credit card companies, it is like an expedition into the unknown as we seek out new veins of joy before we all suffocate, like yeast, in our own excrement.

Crimeth Inc. is the cure for the cancer diseases with which they propose to cure cancer. Crimeth Inc. sweeps through the streets with fire and banners and steals through the classrooms with photocopies and whispers. Crimeth Inc. controls the rudderless ships of the movement that follows the paths of the nomads and exchanges their shackles for the vagabond existence; Crimeth Inc. destroys tourism and all other miserable formulas that want to keep us in the same place.

Crimeth Inc. is the final relaxation: it exists at the request of those who are so disorderly that order can never again exist or be commanded. Mob without a reason: CrimethInc. the ticket you've been waiting for is out; that is, if you are willing to redeem it. Crimeth Inc. is what you do - not what we do.

Crimeth Inc. is active at barricades that line neighborhoods, in banks being robbed, on planes flying over the Brazilian desert at sunrise. It has its offices in houses occupied by youths who have escaped the suburbs and besieged by riot cop units. There are also outposts: for example, take the last night train from La Plata to Buenos Aires, sit on the steps of the train when the doors are open and listen to the young passengers drumming samba rhythms on seats and singing along as the Argentine night rushes by - then you will realize that there is a letter or a novel that you have to write; and you will understand what we mean.

Crimeth Inc. is present wherever something (or someone) is burning. Crimeth Inc. is active wherever there is crimethink - and beyond, until it gets to places where it is needed or unnecessary. It rushes through arctic waters after comets hit and is swallowed by the cold, until it reaches mythical Russian cities ringed by great rivers at the end of winter, the crash of melting ice in the background of the night. It reaches the magnetic poles3, where compasses rotate in circles. It moves to the bottom of the ocean, where the water-filled corpses of whales lie.

Obviously, gentlemen, if you are concerned about the morality of your wives, the education of your children, the peace of your investors, the submissiveness of your mistresses and pets, the stability of your armchairs, privatized prisons and factories, the licenses of your brothels and the security of your state, then you are doing everything right in defending the status quo. But you are lost and corrupt. The fire is waiting for you.

But as for the revolutionaries, people who call everything their own, without boundaries, girls and boys who love without leaving: we urge you to be more strict in your ruthlessness, to be more ambitious in your hedonism!4 If you feel young and invulnerable, it is because you are! From now on no one will die anymore.

Crimethink is the first wave of a new world, smuggled across every border into the minds and hearts of a nation of millions of dissidents. Crimethink is thrown through glass windows, in the form of notes tied to stones. Crimethink is everything that escapes control: blue-collaring by the sea; handing out free food when the manager is away; temporarily clearing a street during a demonstration; the proud look in a girl's eyes as she walks into the principal's office, hand in hand with her friend.

Crimeth Inc. is the Underground Railroad from this world to the next. Jump up!

You know why they put those there, right? Because there is no oxygen to burn them. ↩

You don't believe us? But you heard the call, didn't you? ↩

It's important to point out here that the magnetic poles are not constant - rather, they move across the Earth's surface. This is exactly the kind of journey that CrimethInc. agents undertake and propagate: invisible, noticeable only because of effects felt thousands of miles away, but of global importance... ↩
