[livius drusus]

Okay, I've finally finished translating the manifesto. I've tried as much as possible, with the help of today's chatters, to retain the feel of the original, including non-standard grammar and invented words.

FTM: Futuristaction 2007

Futurism was born in Paris in 1909 with the publication of the Manifest of Futurism of FTM [Filippo Tommaso Marinetti] published in the daily "Le Figaro". Our Idea in movement blends all the fields of life, society and culture. For this our nature, we will be the Vanguard, as such we will collide against everything and everyone in the spirit of fight and sane violence, we wil be make of this greybourgeois society a TRIUMP OF COLOR. We will batter you to make the Art, Culture and Work live again. Together with you, the aged and survivors of a marketcentric society, will die art, work, ingenuity as a phenomenon capable of following all the new means of production of contemporary industrial society. Thus begins, for we futurists of the new millennium, a new adhesion to the evolved techniques and the new means of expression interpreting a total renovation brought about by a frenetic impetus towards the future but above all by a preoccupation for the passage of time. Thus is born the exultation for the fight, March, to Not Rot, -- Fight, to Not Die. Glorify the machine, the motor and the speed of the Gigabyte, elevate the speed of thought as creative genius of a new beauty that grows and enriches the world. We futurists reject utterly your foggy and nebulous past, we reject your collections of books, your academies and your museums, tragic representations of the present cultural cemetery and we distance ourself from the political alchemies of this your society of dwarfs.

Today is born with us a new violent conception of Life and History, that exalts the battle at the expense of peace, and despises you asslickers of false power, slaves of the global market. Receive our contempt like a sentencing. We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and fearlessness, courage, audaciousness, rebellion, will be essential elements of our behavior. All actions are generated to lend strength to the fight against the wastage of the regime, the precariousness, the usury, the trafficking of beauty, the falseness of the law, the temporariness of workers' lives, the uncertainty of tomorrow and for the liberty of the peoples.

Eja!
