'''Situationism ''' does not exist. '''Situationists''' - members of the [[File:Situationalistinternationalism-icon.png]] Situationist International - have always believed in the imperative need to not become an ideology [[File:Radape.png]]. Their presence on this wiki expresses their significant failure of that goal- as they have many times complained about it, especially after the events of [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|May '68]] in [[File:Cball-France.png]] France.
Even though it is considered as a leftist movement, Situationists did not consider themselves as members of the ideological corpus of the Left. They advocated for a very libertarian philosophy, believing in an anti-authoritarian interpretation of [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism]], and inheriting from avant-garde art movements - such as {{PHB|Surrealism}}. They believed that modern society suffers from the presence of "The Spectacle", a structure that leads citizens to being spectators of their everyday life, leading to meaningless behaviors - such as looking permanently for profit or idolizing a dictator and obeying him.
==History==
In the late 1950s, concurrently and geographically parallel to cultural movements in the US such as the "Beatniks", there was a constellation of European artists and political theorists who were fans of Marxism and Surrealism. Situationist International was initially founded in 1957 as a way for artists and revolutionaries to talk together about how surrealism is ideological, they concluded they should go out in the streets interacting with random people in surreal ways, in order to evangelize their culturally
In the 1960s, concurrent

A ''détournement'' is a technique developed in the 1950s by the Letterist International, and
===Anti-capitalism===
The Situationist International, in the 15 years from its formation in 1957 and its dissolution in 1972, is characterized by a Marxist and surrealist perspective on aesthetics and politics, without separation between the two: art and politics are faced together and in revolutionary terms. The SI analyzed the modern world from the point of view of everyday life. The core arguments of the Situationist International were an attack on the capitalist degradation of the life of people and the fake models advertised by the mass media, to which the Situationist responded with alternative life experiences. The alternative life experiences explored by the Situationists were the construction of situations, unitary urbanism, psychogeography, and the union of play, freedom, and critical thinking.

Line 97 ⟶ 143:
===Work, leisure, and play===
The situationists observed that the worker of advanced capitalism still only functions with the goal of survival. In a world where technological efficiency has increased production exponentially, by tenfold, the workers of society still dedicate the whole of their lives to survival, by way of production. The purpose for which advanced capitalism is organized isn't luxury, happiness, or freedom, but production. The production of commodities is an end to itself
The theorists of the Situationist International regarded the current paradigm of work in advanced capitalist society as increasingly absurd. As technology progresses, and work becomes exponentially efficient, the work itself becomes exponentially more trivial. The spectacle's social function is the concrete manufacture of alienation. Economic expansion consists primarily of the expansion of this particular sector of industrial production. The "growth" generated by an economy developing for its own sake can be nothing other than a growth of the very alienation that was at its origin.

===Random Walks===
The Chilean Poet society that Alejandro Jodorowsky was involved in, documented in his film Poesia sin Fin, is a roughly contemporaneous example of Situationism. The protagonist and his poet friend decide to begin walking in a straight line no matter what and encounter a series of
==Personality and Behavior==
Situationism is *fun*. Then, maybe Situationism is a bit too heavy. Situationism likes to get dense on theory as a flex. Situationism is almost what you'd get if you took Egoist and made him more of an artist, and dramatically more passionate about community, combined with unorthodox Marxism. Situationism is prone to random utterances of a cryptic nature, including riddles, samplings of poetry, lytotes, satire, and sarcasm. Situationism likes to take long walks through private property, and when told "excuse me, this is private property," Situationism might respond with quips such as: "What isn't?", "Super Profundo on the early eve of your day" or "Can a rabbit own property?" followed by simulated rabbit noises.
Getting oneself arrested can at times be a... situational hazard... for a Situationist.

*[[File:Falgsc.png]] [[Fully Automated Gay Space Communism|Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism]] - Humanity will enter into space to make the universe the playground of the last revolt: that which will go against the limitations imposed by nature. Once the walls have been smashed that now separate people from science, the conquest of space will no longer be an economic or military "promotional" gimmick, but the blossoming of human freedoms and fulfillments, attained by a race of gods. We will not enter into space as employees of an astronautic administration or as "volunteers" of a state project, but as masters without slaves reviewing their domains: the entire universe pillaged for the workers councils.
