#the revolution will not be televised

[padawan-historian]

Just in case anyone needed a reminder . . . corporations changing their logos to rainbow colors and making a "Happy Pride Month!" post on social media does not conceal the fact that these entities continue to fund antiqueer policymakers, profit and promote imperialist industries that perpetuate environmental racism and gentrification, sponsor "minority development and programs" that reinforce the white savior complex and civilizing [assimilationist] mission, exploit BIPOC culture and queerness in advertisement, resist collective organizing and union representation of their workers, and defend their capitalist interests all while claiming that "it's okay to say gay!"

The revolution will not be televised, and it absolutely positively will not be led by some privileged yt Putin loving libertarian bloviating their juvenile shitty ass takes on “communism,” who unironically (but self-servingly!) believes that racism is somehow a secondary problem to classism

The revolution may not be televised during the 2023 Macys Thanksgiving Parade, cutting to commercial when Palestinian activists blocked the parade to demand a genocide stop - but they will fly a giant half deflated balloon of a character from one of the most popular series of all time, an anti imperialist anarchist pirate, who’s father was literally Fidel Castro. This will never make sense to me.

You will not be able to stay home, brother

You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out

You will not be able to lose yourself on skag

And skip out for beer during commercials, because

The revolution will not be televised...

...The revolution will be no re-run, brothers

The revolution will be live.

We Are Fine

If anyone asks, tell them we are fine.

Let them go back to drinking their wine.

We both know they don’t have a spine.

If they see the riots on the news,

Let them not of savagery us accuse.

Tell them it’s not the game of the hungry, but the fight of the ones with nothing to lose.

The revolution won’t be televised,

So don’t you stay silent when our demands are bastardized,

And don’t be surprised when your children are despised.

My friend, I ask of you as I lose my breathe,

Do not abandon our cause after my death.

The revolution will not be right back After a message about a white tornado, white lightning or white people You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom The tiger in your tank or the giant in your toilet bowl The revolution will not go better with Coke The revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath The revolution will put you in the driver's seat

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised Will not be televised, will not be televised The revolution will be no re-run, brothers The revolution will be live

“the revolution will not be televised” and “we’re here and we’re ready to livestream the apocalypse” are two sides of the same coin in a way I cannot exactly fully explain

Andor is (obviously) not a leftist show. It’s a prestige drama that’s using Lucas’s own tendency of anchoring fantastical stories in real world history to justify a more honest depiction of revolutionary networks. Given that it still wants its characters to come off as likable underdogs, a lot of the historical revolutions it pulls aesthetically from are necessarily the leftist ones.

It’s only *allowed* to do this because the culture it exists in is so monolithic that this kind of signposting **CAN’T** be read as political by the public. Or, presumably, the writers. It’s all Baudrillard and Zizek. Part of the “fantasy” in the show’s “fantasy/sci-fi” is the fantasy of revolution, which is presented as an impossible indulgence of genre in the same way aliens and space wizards and warp travel are. The aestheticization of history into the media, rendering it meaningless.

That said. Andor is a show about guerrilla, cell based insurgency groups, fighting against a mostly banal bureaucratic fascist imperial force. And it’s position as “gritty prestige drama” means it’s allowed to have its characters act in “morally grey” ways. ie: the rebels actually have fucking *spines* for once. They aren’t winning the war in the marketplace of ideas, they’re killing and thrashing and fighting with everything they’ve got, taking no prisoners, acknowledging the necessity of the moment. That is definitely cool to see. As far as junk food genre schlock goes, this is pretty entertaining stuff.

In closing: Andor Good, but also I’m deeply worried for anyone who believes this hundred million+ dollar production from one of our largest capitalist monopolies is a communist call to action. Thought it was common knowledge that the revolution will not be televised.
