A community is a group of people who have something in common, such as living in the same area, experiencing the same problems of capitalist society, or not being millionaires. An insurrection is a revolt against established authority. Authority does not become legitimate merely by existing. If the communities in which it operates come to believe that it is illegitimate, then it has no further right to exist.

This subversive rag is intended to encourage exactly that outcome: to disrupt, undermine, and discredit the legitimacy of the capitalist economic system and the state authority that defends it. Insurrection against illegitimate authority begins in the consciousness of the communities which are oppressed and exploited by it.
