In orde r to write Themes and Variations I made a cursory examination of my ear-lier books, jotting down subjects or ideas which stil l seemed lively to me. WhenI counted them up they came to one hundred and ten. Anarchy is one of them.The theme s o f Themes and Variations ar e th e name d o f fiftee n o f th e me n wh ohave been most important to me in my life and work. Buckminster Fuller is oneof them. Fro m th e beginning o f my knowing hi m I had as he did confidencein his plan to make life on earth a success for everyone. His plan is to make anequation betwee n huma n need s an d world resources . I ha d th e good luc k inHawaii to see proof o f the viability of Fuller's plan . The island of Oahu i s di-vided by a mountain range. Honolulu is on the southern side. I was staying withfriends o n the northern side . The mountai n rang e is of course tunnelled. Butat it s ridge I notice d eac h day crenelations a s on a medieval castle. What ar ethose, I asked. I was told tha t formerly , actually not so long ago, the tribes onone side of the mountain were at war with those on the other side . The crene-lations were used fo r self-protectio n when shootin g poisone d arrow s at ene -mies. Now the tunnel exists and both sides of the island share the same utilities.The idea of fightin g on e anothe r is out o f the question . Thi s chang e was notbrought abou t by a political agreement . Buckminster Fuller believed, and I fol-low him, tha t politicians ar e of no good use . They could be sent as he used tosay to oute r spac e and lef t ther e withou t matter s getting wors e fo r humanityhere on earth. We don't need government. We need utilities: air, water, energy,travel and communication means , food and shelter. We have no need for imagi-nary mountain ranges between separate nations. We can make tunnels throughthe real ones. Nor d o we have any need fo r the continuing divisio n o f peopl einto thos e wh o hav e wha t the y need an d thos e wh o don't . Bot h Fulle r an dMarshall McLuhan knew, furthermore, that work is now obsolete. We have in-vented machines to do it for us. Now that we have no need to do anything whatshall we do? Looking a t Fuller's Geodesi c World Map we see that the earth is asingle island. Oahu. We must give all the people all they need to live in any waythey wish. Our presen t law s protect th e rich fro m th e poor. If there are to belaws we need ones that begin with the acceptance of poverty as a way of life. Wemust make the earth safe for poverty without dependence o n government .

That government i s best which governs not a t all; and when men are preparedfor it , that will be the kind of government which they will have. That quotatio nfrom Henry David Thoreau's Essay on the Duty o f Civil Disobedience is one o f thirtyquotations from whic h a s maximum sourc e the following lectur e was written.The lecture consists of twenty fifty per cent mesostics. In a fifty per cent mesos-tic the second letter of the string does not appear between itself and the first let-ter. In a one hundred per cent mesostic neither the first nor the second letter ap-pears between the first and second letters . How many and which o f the thirtyquotations were used as source fo r each of the twenty mesostics was answered V

by ic (a program by Andrew Culver simulating the coin oracle of the / Ching).Which is the thirty quotations together with the fourteen names (authors, booktitles, graffiti) was to be used as the string upon which each mesostic was writtenwas also determined by ic. Where, through the use of chance operations, dupli -cation of strings resulted, the mesostics having the same string became a singlerenga, a single poem compose d fo r a plurality o f poems. A renga in the tex titself i s indicated b y an asteris k following th e mesosti c number . A progra mmade by Andrew Culver extended the number of characters in a search strin gfor MESOLIS T ( a program b y Jim Rosenberg ) t o an y length ; thi s extende dMESOLIST was used to list the available words which were then subjected to ic.The resultant mesostics are therefore global with respect to their sources, com-ing as they do from anywhere in them. In seven cases, for one or more letters ofthe string there were no words.

This is another text in an ongoing series ; Themes and Variations, Mushrooms et Vari-ationes, Th e First Meeting o f th e Satie Society preced e it : t o fin d a wa y o f writin gwhich through coming fro m ideas is not abou t them; or is not about ideas butproduces them. Anarchy was written to be read out loud. The ends of stanzas areindicated by space, a full stop, a new breath. Within a stanza, the sign ' indicatesa slight pause , a half cadence. My mesostic texts do not mak e ordinary sense.They mak e nonsense , whic h i s taugh t a s a seriou s subjec t b y Yasunari Taka-hashi, author o f a huge book, Nonsense Tai^en (translatable as Summa Nonsensica),whose officia l titl e i s Professor of English a t the University of Tokyo. I f non -sense is found intolerable, think of my work as music, which is, Arnold Schoen-berg used to say, a question of repetition an d variation, variations itself being aform of repetition in which some things ar e changed and others not. O r thin kof work, as McLuhan did, as obsolete. Instead of working, t o quote McLuhan,we now brush information agains t information . We are doing everythin g w ecan to make new connections .

I am glad that in preparation fo r this work I read Living My Life th e two volumeautobiography b y Emma Goldman . Willia m Buwalda, a soldier o f the Unite dStates Army, who dare d to g o t o on e o f Goldman' s lecture s on anarch y wascourt-martialed an d sentenced to a year in jail . I recommend Goldman's boo kto all those who like books that are hard to put down once you've picked the mup. I am grateful t o Sydne y Cowell who led me to Paul Avrich who led me toPaul Herman, author o£ Quotations from th e Anarchists, t o William Anastas i wholoaned m e Seldes ' Great Quotations, an d I a m gratefu l t o Electr a Yourk e whogave me Th e Essential Works o f Anarchism edited by Marshall S. Shatz which sh efound i n a second-han d bookstor e i n Easthampto n o n sal e fo r ninety-nin ecents. I have read and reread it. And I am grateful to James J. Martin who wroteMen Against the State. It i s one o f those books I never have because I'm alway sgiving them away.

Periods of very slow changes are succeeded by periods of violent changes . Rev-olutions are as necessary for evolution as the slow changes which prepare themvi

and succeed them. (Peter Kropotkin, Revolutionary Studies, 1892, in Berman, Quo-tations, 95). Alteration o f globa l societ y through electronic s s o that world wil lgo round by means of united intelligence rather than by means of divisive intel-ligence (politics , economics). (John Cage, A Year From Monday, 17) . The revolu-tion is the creation of new living institutions, ne w groupings, new social rela-tionships; it is the destruction of privileges and monopolies; i t is the new spiritof justice , of brotherhood, of freedo m whic h must renew the whole of socia llife and raise the moral level and material conditions of the masses by calling onthem t o provide , throug h direc t an d consciou s action, fo r thei r ow n futures .Revolution is the organization of all public services by those who work in themin thei r ow n interes t a s well th e public's ; revolutio n i s the destructio n o f al lcoercive ties; it is the autonomy of groups, of communes, of regions; revolutionis the fre e federatio n brought abou t by a desire for brotherhood, by individualand collectiv e interests , b y th e need s o f productio n an d defense ; revolutio nis th e constitutio n o f innumerabl e fre e grouping s base d o n ideas , wishe sand tastes of al l kinds tha t exis t among the people; revolutio n i s the formin gand disbandin g o f thousands o f representative , district, communal , regional ,national bodie s which , withou t havin g an y legislative power , serv e to mak eknown an d coordinat e th e desire s an d interest s o f peopl e nea r an d fa r an dwhich act through information, advice, and example. (Mario Malatesta, Pensieroe Volonta, 1924, in Berman, Quotations, 102). Electronic democracy (instantaneousvoting on the part of anyone): no government; no sheep. (Cage, AYFM, 5 2 [withaddition of "no government"]). The liberty of man consists solely in this: thathe obeys natural laws because he has himself recognized them as such, and no tbecause they have been externally imposed upon him by any extrinsic will what-ever, divine or human , collectiv e or individual . (Michae l Bakunin, Go d and theState, 1871 , i n Berman , Quotations, 161) . I' m a n anarchist , sam e a s yo u whe nyou're telephoning, turnin g on/off the lights, drinking water. (Cage, AYFM, 53) .The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason forexisting. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries ofeternity, of life , o f the marvelous structure of reality. It i s enough if one triesmerely to comprehen d a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy cu-riosity. (Alber t Einstein, Persona l memoi r o f William Miller , a n editor , Life,May 2, 1955) . Private prospect o f enlightenment's n o longer sufficient . No t jus tself- bu t social-realization . (Cage , AYFM, 53) . u.s . ou t o f CENTRA L AMERIC A+ MIDDL E EAS T + MANHATTAN . (Andre w Culver , graffit i notice d i n Ne wYork Subway , August 1987) . We'l l tak e th e ma d one s with us , an d w e kno wwhere we're going. Even now, he told me, they sit at the crossroads of Africa nvillages regenerating society . Mental hospitals: localization of a resource we'veyet to exploit . (Cage , AYFM, 59) . Th e ag e fo r the veneration fo r governments ,notwithstanding all the hypnotic influence they employ to maintain their posi-tion, is more and more passing away. And i t is time fo r people to understan dthat governments not onl y are not necessary , but ar e harmful an d most highlyimmoral institutions , i n which a self-respecting, honest man cannot and mustnot take part, and the advantages of which he cannot and should not enjoy. Andas soon as people clearly understand that, they will naturally cease to take part vii

in such deeds — that is, cease to give the governments soldier s and money. Andas soon as a majority of people ceases to do this the fraud which enslaves peoplewill be abolished. Only in this way can people b e free d fro m slavery . (Leo N .Tolstoy, Address, Swedish Government Congres s Peace Conference, 1909, Sat-urday Review, 8/9/58, in George s Seldes , Th e Great Quotations). America n anar -chist, 1900, admitting failure , retired to the south of France. Dad's airplane en-gine, 1918 , flew to pieces before it left the ground. Alloys needed to contain thepower wer e stil l undiscovered . Discove r dialectric s fo r ultra-hig h voltage s(global electrical networks). Change society so differences ar e refreshing, noth-ing t o d o wit h possessions/power . (Cage , AYFM^ 68) . I heartil y accep t th emotto, "Tha t government is best which governs least"; and I should like to seeit acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts tothis, which also I believe—"That government i s best which governs not at all" ;and when are prepared for it, tha t will be the kind of government which theywill have." (Henry David Thoreau , Essay o n the Duty o f Civil Disobedience, 1849).Society, not being a process a king sets in motion, become s an impersonal placeunderstood an d made useful so that no matter what each individual does his ac-tions enliven the total picture. Anarchy in a place that works. Society's individu-alized. (Cage, AYFM) 161) . Not song s of loyalty along are these/But songs of in-surrection also/Fo r I a m the swor n poe t o f ever y dauntless rebel th e worl dover/And he going wit h me leaves peace and routine behind him/And stakeshis life to be lost at any moment. (Wal t Whitman, T o a Foil'd European Revolution-aire). We have only one mind (the one we share).

Changing things radically , therefore, is simple. You just change that one mind.Base human nature on allishness. (Cage , AYFM^ 158) . Anarchists or revolutionist scan no more be made than musicians. All that can be done is to plant the seedsof thought . Whethe r somethin g vita l wil l develo p depend s largel y o nthe fertilit y o f the human soil, though th e quality of the intellectual seed mustnot b e overlooked. (Emma Goldman, Preface , Anarchism and other Essays, 1910) .We are not arrangin g thing s i n orde r (that' s th e functio n o f th e utilities) : weare merely facilitating processes so that anything can happen. (Cage , M, 12) . I nSan Francisco , i n 1908 , Emm a Goldman' s lectur e attracte d a soldie r o f th eUnited States Army, William Buwalda. For daring to attend an Anarchist meet-ing, th e fre e Republi c court-martiale d Buwald a and imprisone d hi m fo r on eyear. Thanks to the regenerating power of the new philosophy, th e governmentlost a soldier, but the cause of liberty gained a man. (Hippolyte Havel, BiographicSketch o f Emma Goldman, 1910). The problem tha t confronts us today, and whichthe nearest future is to solve, is how to be one's self and yet in oneness with oth-ers, to feel deeply with all human beings and still retain one's own characteristi cqualities. (Emm a Goldman , Anarchism, quote d i n Introductio n b y Richar dDrinnon). . . . capacity audience gave him standing ovation . Commentin g o nthis, Fuller said, "It wasn't for me; I'm only an average man. It was for what I'dbeen saying: the fac t it's possible to make life a success for everyone." (Cage, M,no). Anarchism, then, reall y stands for the liberation of the human mind fro mthe dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominio nvia

of property; liberation fro m th e shackle s and restrain t of government . Anar -chism stand s for a social order based on th e fre e groupin g o f individual s fo rthe purpos e o f producing rea l socia l wealth ; an orde r tha t wil l guarante e t oevery human being fre e access to the earth and ful l enjoymen t of the necessitiesof life, according to human desires, tastes, and inclinations. (Emm a Goldman ,Anarchism, 1910). A man . . . draws now, as far as he can, on the natural force inhim that is no different fro m wha t it will be in the new society . .. Merely con-tinuing t o exis t and ac t in natur e an d freedom , a fre e ma n win s th e victory ,establishes th e ne w society. . . . (Paul Goodman, Drawing the Line). No t onl yhave al l the bi g corporation s becom e transnationa l and take n al l the forme rU.S.A. gol d an d othe r negotiabl e asset s with them , bu t the y have also lef t al lthe world' s peopl e locke d int o thei r 15 0 national pens , wit h thos e 15 0 nation sblocking th e flow of lifeblood metal s without which we cannot realize the in-creasing know-ho w o f al l humanity. Very soo n th e nation-stat e sovereigntie swill have to be eliminated or humanity will perish. (R. Buckminster Fuller, Crit-ical Path, 1981) . Problem s o f government s ar e no t inclusiv e enough. W e need(we've got them ) global problem s i n order to find global solutions . Problem sconnected with sounds were insufficient t o change the nature of music. We hadto conceive of silence in order to open our ears. We need to conceive of anarchyto be able whole-heartedly to do whatever another tells us to. (Cage, Af, 20). . . .class-one evolution i s about t o put th e U.S.A . ou t o f business through interna -tional bankruptcy. . . . nature's way of ridding th e planet of the most powerfulof yesterday's sovereignties and thereby setting off a chain of 149 additional de-sovereignizations, . . . removing th e most stubborn barrier to the free circula -tion o f th e Earth' s world-aroun d metals , foods , incom e energ y supplie s an dpeople. We are now in a position t o get ri d o f the 15 0 sovereignties an d have arecirculatory, interaccomodative , world-aroun d democrati c system . W e no whave the immediately realizable capability to exercise our often-repeated optionto mak e al l the Earth' s people physicall y an d economicall y successfu l withi nonly a decade by virtue of the already-execute d fifty-year critical path o f arti -facts development which has acquired all the right technology. (R. BuckminsterFuller, Critical Path, 1981). What we finally seek to do is to create an environmentthat works so well we can run wild in it. (Norman O. Brown, quoted in M, 213) . Iam a fanatic lover of liberty, considering it as the unique condition under whichintelligence, dignity, and the happiness of men can develop and grow; not tha tpurely formal liberty, conceded, measured, and regulated by the State, an eter-nal life an d which in reality never represents anything but th e privilege o f thefew founded on the slavery of everyone,... I mean the only liberty truly worthyof the name , libert y that consist s in th e ful l developmen t o f al l the powers —material, intellectual , an d moral—that are latent facultie s o f each; liberty thatrecognizes no othe r restriction s tha n thos e outlined fo r us by the laws of ou rown individual nature, so that properly speaking, there are no restrictions. . .. Imean that liberty of each individual which, fa r from haltin g a s at a boundarybefore th e liberty o f others , find s ther e it s confirmation and it s extension t oinfinity; the illimitable libert y of each through the liberty of all, liberty by soli-darity, liberty in equality; liberty triumphing ove r brute force and the principle ix

of authority that was never anything but th e force ; liberty which, afte r havin goverthrown all heavenly and earthly idols, will found and organize a new world,that o f human solidarity , on th e ruins of all Churches and al l States. (MichaelBakunin, quoted by Paul Berman, in Quotations, 1871). Government i s a tree. Itsfruits ar e people. A s people ripen , they drop awa y from th e tree . (H.D . Tho -reau, Essay on the Duty o f Civil Disobedience, quoted by John Cage in X, 155) . To m eanarchism was not a mere theory for a distant future; it was a living influence t ofree us from inhibitions, internal no less than external, and from the destructivebarriers that separate man fro m man. (Emma Goldman, Living My Life, pg . 556 ,1931).
