The Harsh Rules of the Game

“The new epoch is profoundly revolutionary, and it knows that it is. At all levels of world society, we can no longer and we will no longer go on as before. The Situationists are here to combat the spectacle, not to govern it. They do not form a distinct party. The Situationists have no interests separate from the proletariat as a whole. They have freely given themselves, in a very harsh century, very hard rules of the game; and they have gladly submitted to them.” – Guy Debord and Gianfranco Sanguinetti, The Veritable Split in the International.

Class Wargames will be hosting a collective playing of Guy Debord’s The Game of War

Entrance free. Bring your own food & drink.
