Guy Debord citáty

Guy Ernest Debord bol francúzsky básnik, lettrista, umelec, experimentálny filmový tvorca, spisovateľ a zásadný teoretik modernej kultúry a spoločnosti. Bol ovplyvnený marxistickými ideami, kritizoval kapitalizmus a médiá. Používal metódy psychogeografie agitácie a tvorby situácií.

V roku 1957 založil Situacionistickú internacionálu ktorá združovala rozličných umelcov používajúcich umelecké a antiumelecké metódy, anarchizmus a protopunk na narušenie kapitalistickej indoktrinovanej spoločnosti. Situacionistické idey zohrali významnú úlohu pri študentských nepokojoch v Paríži roku 1968. Guy Debord bol komplikovaná autoritárska osobnosť, čo sa odzrkadlilo aj v sporoch a následnej deštrukcii samotnej internacionály. V roku 1994 spáchal samovraždu. Wikipedia

“Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.”

The Bad Old Days Will End
The Incomplete Works of the Situationist International (Nov. 1963)

“We are going through a crucial historical crisis in which each year poses more acutely the global problem of rationally mastering the new productive forces and creating a new civilization. Yet the international working-class movement, on which depends the prerequisite overthrow of the economic infrastructure of exploitation, has registered only a few partial local successes. Capitalism has invented new forms of struggle (state intervention in the economy, expansion of the consumer sector, fascist governments) while camouflaging class oppositions through various reformist tactics and exploiting the degenerations of working-class leaderships. In this way it has succeeded in maintaining the old social relations in the great majority of the highly industrialized countries, thereby depriving a socialist society of its indispensable material base. In contrast, the underdeveloped or colonized countries, which over the last decade have engaged in the most direct and massive battles against imperialism, have begun to win some very significant victories. These victories are aggravating the contradictions of the capitalist economy and (particularly in the case of the Chinese revolution) could be a contributing factor toward a renewal of the whole revolutionary movement. Such a renewal cannot limit itself to reforms within the capitalist or anticapitalist countries, but must develop conflicts posing the question of power everywhere.”
