Where truth meets nature, and culture rises for rights — dreaming a just world.

যেখানে সত্য আপস করে না, যেখানে প্রশ্ন তোলা অপরাধ নয়, আর নীরবতা কখনোই ন্যায়ের বিকল্প হয়ে ওঠে না। এখানে সত্যকে দেখা হয় নির্ভীকভাবে, খোলামনে, কারণ সত্যই প্রথম প্রতিরোধ।

এই যাত্রায় প্রকৃতি কোনো পণ্য নয়। নদী, পাহাড়, বন ও মানুষ—সবাই একই অস্তিত্বের অংশ। প্রকৃতির সঙ্গে সহাবস্থান মানেই শোষণের বিরুদ্ধে দাঁড়ানো। প্রকৃতিকে রক্ষা করা মানেই ভবিষ্যৎকে রক্ষা করা। ন্যায়ের স্বপ্ন শুরু হয় এখান থেকেই—সমতা ও সম্মানের বোধ থেকে।

সংস্কৃতি এখানে বিনোদনের অনুষঙ্গ নয়, এটি একটি ভাষা। স্মৃতি, শিল্প, গান, গল্প ও প্রতিবাদ—সব মিলিয়ে সংস্কৃতি হয়ে ওঠে অধিকারের কণ্ঠস্বর। যখন ক্ষমতা ইতিহাস মুছে দিতে চায়, সংস্কৃতি তখন মনে করিয়ে দেয়। যখন শোষণ স্বাভাবিক হয়ে ওঠে, সংস্কৃতি তখন প্রশ্ন তোলে।

এই ম্যানিফেস্টো একটি বিশ্বাস বহন করে—ন্যায়সঙ্গত পৃথিবী হঠাৎ করে আসে না। এটি গড়ে ওঠে সচেতনতা দিয়ে, সংহতি দিয়ে, এবং প্রতিদিনের ছোট ছোট অবস্থান দিয়ে। সত্য আমাদের পথ দেখায়, প্রকৃতি আমাদের ভিত্তি দেয়, আর সংস্কৃতি আমাদের সাহস জোগায়।

“Fascism attempts to organize the newly created proletarian masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves. The masses have a right to change property relations; Fascism seeks to give them an expression while preserving property. The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life. The violation of the masses, whom Fascism, with its Führer cult, forces to their knees, has its counterpart in the violation of an apparatus which is pressed into the production of ritual values. […]

“All efforts to render politics aesthetic culminate in one thing: war. War and war only can set a goal for mass movements on the largest scale while respecting the traditional property system. This is the political formula for the situation. The technological formula may be stated as follows: Only war makes it possible to mobilize all of today’s technical resources while maintaining the property system. It goes without saying that the Fascist apotheosis of war does not employ such arguments. […]

“Mankind, which in Homer’s time was an object of contemplation for the Olympian gods, now is one for itself. Its self-alienation has reached such a degree that it can experience its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order. This is the situation of politics which Fascism is rendering aesthetic. Communism responds by politicizing art.”

-Walter Benjamin

“The production of ideas, of conceptions, of consciousness, is at first directly interwoven with the material activity and the material intercourse of humanity, the language of real life. Conceiving, thinking, the mental intercourse of humanity, appear at this stage as the direct efflux of their material behaviour. The same applies to mental production as expressed in the language of politics, laws, morality, religion, metaphysics, etc., of a people. Humans are the producers of their conceptions, ideas, etc.—real, active humanity, as they are conditioned by a definite development of their productive forces and of the intercourse corresponding to these, up to its furthest forms. Consciousness can never be anything else than conscious existence, and the existence of humanity is their actual life-process. If in all ideology humanity and their circumstances appear upside-down as in a camera obscura, this phenomenon arises just as much from their historical life-process as the inversion of objects on the retina does from their physical life-process. […]

“[R]uling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas; hence of the relationships which make the one class the ruling one, therefore, the ideas of its dominance.”

-Marx and Engels, 1845
