Vote Green & Still Die Horribly

One more method of keeping us in line. One more party called Green this time. The Green Party, just like Corbyn’s Labour, would manage capitalism with a slightly kinder face. It promises change while leaving the system itself untouched, asking us to trust elections and reforms, constantly deferring into the future the thing that would actually change things for the better: social revolution. The longer we think we can change things by supporting one element of the capitalist state against another, the longer nothing will change. The only time we win anything is when we, the working class, fight for it ourselves. A slower ecological collapse, a nicer austerity, a softer police baton. Everywhere, the spectacle guarantees our passivity by selling us the image of revolt. The scale of the transformation necessary to overcome ecological collapse is colossal. It means a total reorganisation of work, care and everyday life. It means replacing capitalism with some form of degrowth libertarian-communism, via a social revolution from below. Greens seem like nice enough people, but I don’t think they’re up to it, do you?

DOPE is a quarterly magazine about politics, art and culture. It focuses not only on raising awareness of injustices but also possible solutions, taking action and building towards radical social change. We’re run on anarchist principles and our content aims to increase involvement in anarchist forms of organisation.

Each issue features first hand accounts and opinion, from more established writers to more marginalised voices – including precarious workers, homeless people, sex-workers, queer folx, and racialised groups.

Distributed for free to anyone who wants to sell it on the street. Vendors keep all the money from sales.  40,000 copies worth £120,000 to our vendors each issue. Released quarterly, we are supported by our subscribers.
