This zine is part submission part collaboration.
“The intent of this zine/terrible notebook is to make it easier for our ourselves and comrades to imagine a better world and articulate the means and ends for creating such a world. As radicals, one of the most powerful tools we have is the creative capacity of our imaginations. To imagine a world without a state, a world without exploitation, and a world predicated on affinity, mutual cooperation, and direct democracy is in itself a radical first step in prefiguring such a society. Figuring out what steps we take to get there is much more difficult. To paraphrase Mark Fisher paraphrasing Fredric Jameson – it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.”
But its also about time. Restructuring it, tearing it apart, and realizing how it limits us and harms us. In the zine, there’s a quote from Estelle Ellison, “Time structures our pay, which structures our survival, which impacts our ability to be in relation to each other, time controls the windows where care is available and influences how often we come across desirable opportunities. Time is waging war against our very agency.” (Abolish Time Issue #3)
In this zine you’ll find some words, and some blank pages you must think upon and write yourself. Pages situated through “time”, to bring into being your goals, your wishes, your desires, and the worlds that are to come.
Also, to pull from the zine again, in imagining and creating a better world, “Shooting at clocks and turning off your morning alarm would likely help too.”
