Futurism Forever is a Union of Egoists, not a formal political group. So any of the views expressed in any article reflect the views of the person who wrote it. Not everyone who has ever contributed anything to the blog or podcast. We don't tow any political line collectively and our contributors come from many different backgrounds and lifestyles. A love for modern art in general, and especially Futurism is what we all have in common.
Spectacles of Virtue by Avanti Rossa
The Barbarians, 1937, Max Ernst
Spectacles of virtue
you must be offended by the downtrodden and despair you have created
however fear not for here you are
with your crown of thorns spun of gold and silver
Whatever could be done without the glory of your presence?
“Get out and vote” you say
For Mammon of Red, White and Blue
“The Youth are getting involved” you boast
But you are the reason they get involved?
Oh Spectacles of Virtue
How great you must be to brag about your “union”
How brave of you to gravel at the feet of those you call “leeches”
Cowardice is not your forte as posting about your chivalry is
A hawk of blue is your banner and your moralism is your Armor
What a brilliant Knight of Justice you are
When you prop up portraits of the masses while you turn your back on them
Sadly I am not a Spectacle of Virtue
I am a Spectre of Destruction
A Fascist of the Hammer and Sickle variety
My slogan is Avanti Barbari
Yours is Sostieni la moralita
My god is Marxism and Futurism
Yours is a Mirror and a Rose
You are a dog that follows and feigns its bite
But we are Wolves, we don't need virtue or spectacles
All we need is ourselves
