This sheet is one of Free City’s more explicit meditations on the problem of “news” in a revolutionary culture that is not, at least yet, founded on armed struggle. The text rejects the authority of mass media and official politics in favor of “instant real,” social theater, sexual candor, self-liberation, and the making of one’s own life as the valid ground of revolutionary speech. The layered imagery—part prison bars, part planetary or ritual apparition—suggests both confinement and breakthrough, as though the task were to invent forms of consciousness and communication adequate to liberation on one’s own terms. |
