Sacrebleu!
Fuck the bourgeois rock scene!
Long live the anarchist revolutionaries!
Louis Lingg & The Bombs are from Paris… in like, France?
[For Anissa, Fushichô & Vincent. Oh, & German-born carpenter Louis Lingg (September 9, 1864–November 10, 1887) — forever 23, never forgotten!]
‘I tell you frankly and openly, I am for force. I have already told Captain Schaack, “if they use cannons against us, we shall use dynamite against them”. I repeat that I am the enemy of the “order” of today, and I repeat that, with all my powers, so long as breath remains in me, I shall combat it. I declare again, frankly and openly, that I am in favor of using force. I have told Captain Schaack, and I stand by it, “if you cannonade us, we shall dynamite you”. You laugh! Perhaps you think, “you’ll throw no more bombs”; but let me assure you I die happy on the gallows, so confident am I that the hundreds and thousands to whom I have spoken will remember my words; and when you shall have hanged us, then—mark my words—they will do the bombthrowing! In this hope do I say to you: I despise you. I despise your order, your laws, your force-propped authority. Hang me for it!’
