still from Sergei Eisenstein's movie "October"

"The shriek, amplified by all the ‘mass-media’ of our time, has frightened millions of people. But it has not helped them to see more clearly the issues with which the world is grappling; it has not advanced their understanding. It has only increased and intensified the waves of panic and hate that run through the world and obfuscate innocent minds. 1984 has taught millions to look at the conflict between East and West in terms of black and white, and it has shown them a monster bogy and a monster scapegoat for all the ills that plague mankind."
Isaac Deutscher

a short manifesto on TNG is currently being written to provide a explanation for what we are and our goals. unlike the guide this is for Recruitment and for those who are interested but dont know what we are.

there isn't much of a point having all this propaganda material and people don't know what its fighting for. after publishing online i will format it so that it can be folded into zines and be distributed irl

'Mental health is the gratifying functioning of a machine whose effective activity is the end, but to which it is human not to be reduced.' Georges Bataille

"Having nothing against reason and rational order, in the numerous cases in which it is clearly opportune (like anyone), I support them both. I do not know if anything in this world has ever appeared adorable which does not exceed the needs of utility, does not devastate and freeze the blood, even as it charms, which was not, in short, on the point of being no longer endurable." Georges Bataille
