Idén sem marad el a Majális bartosista reklámja!
Sajnos a Jobbik nálunk már nem versenyzett, pedig azt írtam volna: "szar kommunisták: Sztálin egyházzal való félrekúrományai".

Lábjegyzet a "Mi a faszért?" című beszélyhez
A 2009 tavaszán készült felvétel végén meghagytam egy fontos fogalmi tisztázást, ti. nem volt egyértelmű, miféle megfontolás van a melegfelvonulás elleni kirohanás mögött. A sokaknak talán túl tömör szóváltás világossá teszi, miről van szó. A melegfelvonulás jelképes, mintegy a szabadelvű demokrácia metafizikai alapjainak legszembetűnőbb kortárs magyarországi vizuális kitüremkedése. Bartos elvi antiliberális és antihumanista (utóbbiról részletesen később): számára az ember individualitása és ahhoz rendelt morális értéktartalom nem bír valósággal. Abszolút determinista: az ember csupán az állandóan változó Anyag egy partikuláris és önmagában értéktelen alakulata, melyet környezete és immanens (eleve adott módon benne lévő) ösztönei határoznak meg. Szabadság nem létezik. A polgári társadalom (ebben a kontextusban "kapitalizmus") alapja a szabadság és az ember egyediségének etikája. A melegfelvonulás mint ennek a filozófiának legjellemzőbb aktuális reprezentációja kerül a moslékfőző üstbe. Nem morális megfontolásról van tehát szó, és nem is szexuálpolitikairól (Bartos elvi aszexuális), éppen ellenkezőleg: a polgárjogi gondolkodás moralizáló gyökere miatt ellenséges a keresztény civilizációt alapjaiban elutasító Bartos számára.

Bartos wikiquote
Bartosism is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end of everything. I did not invent bartosism, I simply named it. You may not know bartosism but bartosism knows you and one day it will come on you.
Some people ask me why bartosism is the ultimate philosophy. Well, I maybe wrong but you have to prove it. Make your own "isms" which is better.
We're only walking compost. All our ideals are shit. Bartosism is the only true reality.
(On Bartosism)
Bourgeois society tells you to find yourself in property, in cars, whores or mobile phone skins. I found myself in losing myself in bartosism.
(On individualism)
A lot of people tell that communist dictatorships failed. Of course they failed, that’s why these people are still alive. Communism can only be successful when it leaves no witnesses alive. To tell the truth, it’s best to kill everyone involved. Let's see the example of North Korea. There should be a couple of hundred people by now and how many they are? Millions. What a fuck they've been doing?
The hungarian communist establishment always consisted of philantropists trying to manage an agnus dei breeding farm. I don’t know why they didn’t form a church choir instead.
My grandfather worked three years in the Soviet Union knowing only four words in russian. That was well enough.
(On communism)
Revolution was always betrayed by idealists and intellectual philantropists. Revolution isn't for mankind. It's against mankind.
If communists were half as ruthless as their enemies, they could destroy the world in a generation's time.
I once tried to set up a guerilla army of homeless but they didn't wanted to fight. They still had too much to lose.
No one is really hungry in a modern society. I can find a dozen pieces of bread in the garbage any time.
When I look around, I don't see any mankind, only some annoying crowd.
Civilized life is the opium of the masses.
(On revolution)
It's sad a lot of people don't understand a metaphor. One day I called a guy a shitface and he hit me. He didn't understand it was a metaphor.
(On poetry)
You are what you eat. If you eat civilized you think civilized. That means you're not real to me.
(On eating)
I’m not drinking two bottles of liquor a day because I’m alcoholic. I’m doing it because I like it.
(Bartos on his heavy drinking)
Rats can be used in eight ways. "Women" only three.
(Bartos on gender roles and beauty industry)

Bartos: Ars Poetica (in English)
Ars poetica
The whole history till now was muck!
Muck were the kings, muck were the churches, muck were the landlords,
Muck were all people and still muck they are. Except for me.
I am BARTOS THE GREAT MUCK PIT and I eat up all this slop,
This garbage, this excrement. I throw it on my great compost pile
And turn it and turn till it rots to dirt.
Then I consume and digest in my iron stomach, I recreate. And when I’m done
I shit.
Bartosism for the English Wikipedia
Istvan Cs. Bartos (aka. Bartos the Great Human Muck Pit, born 18 January 1979, Csikéria, Hungary) (hungarian pronunciation: [bɑːrtɔʂ]) is a hungarian cynic philosopher, performance artist and spoken word performer mostly known for his notorious subversive acts in which he eats dirt, garbage, raw meat, animal cadavers, excrement and drinks his own urine representing the decay of human condition. He lives voluntarily homeless and in constant travelling according to the drifting poet tradition. His work is similar of the ones by Antonin Artaud, Alejandro Jodorowsky, William S. Burroughs or Hermann Nitsch[1]. Consideres himself as a "philosophical cannibal".
Early life
Born in a communist family tradition (his grandfather was a member of ÁVO, the hungarian NKVD) he was strongly influenced by the lifestyle of his predecessors dominated by the stalinist agricultural and heavy industry. This world was destroyed by the turn of the regime in 1989. Most of Bartos’ early work such as The IBM Factory Moves Out of Town (2004) or The Closing Down of the Coal Mine in Balinka (2004) tries to track down the downfall of the traditional hungarian working class. He was born in Budapest, but later moved to Székesfehérvár with his family. He lost his father as a child. His extreme habits became visible in a very early age. In school he rejected the bourgeois etiquette and the conventional way of feeding, insisting upon the (mostly fictional) customs of his peasant ancestors. He’s commited to a primitive way of life from his early childhood. After school he started to work is an abbattoir then in a rubber factory where he became obcessed with the industrial way of transforming material into something else. Later he broke with his remaining family and started his life as a voluntary outcast.
His work
Started as an anarcho-primitive communist activist of the newly born Hungarian Communist Labour Party[2] but strongly influenced by Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and hungarian conservative thinkers. He published a few pieces of sociographic fiction. The most famous of them was the short story The Muck Pit (in the periodical Árgus, 08. July 2004.[3]) in which he depicted the life and social connections of homeless people living by a muck pit which serves as their only resource of self-preservation. His Martin Walser-like social awareness accompanied with a pessimistic world view. His views became too nihilistic and controversial for the hungarian anticapitalist scene which leads to rupture. Later, under the influence of the mathematician and mystic-psychedelic poet Lazlo Varecza (aka. St. Varecza the Corpse[4]) his work became more allegoric tending forward a radical abstract-naturalistic style. Side by side automatic writing became more dominant. Then came the fusion of writing and performance art. He accompanied his essays with his notorious lifestyle which he ironically calls Bartosism – The Ultimate Philosophy. The great turn became visible with his flamboyand apocalyptic vision The Bartosistic Dialectics (around 2006) – a grotesque parody of Pol Pot’s theory of the state, based on significant researching work. Since then he’s dedicated to performing acts and philosophical poetry.
He is always conscious about his audiences, accompanies his writing work with performing tours among the socially oppressed. He rejects the bourgeois institutions of literary life. Most of his works are published on his own account, some of the are in literature periodicals.
The Bartosism
The Bartosism is not a theoretically manifested and well-structured philosophy but a definite way of life. It is based on materialist metaphysics and strongly influenced by Bartos’s experiences as a butcher and factory worker. All social interactions can be considered as transformations of the matter in both allegorical and empirical aspect. For Bartos political philosophy is social alchemy. In tradicional societies the circulation of matter was maintained by the local composting of garbage. In industrial (capitalistic) societies the alienated matter (trash) is stuck out of the control of the world of production either real or virtualized. There, in the merges of civilization it can be seized and put back to circulation by social rejects of whom Bartos consider himself as symbolic leader. The Bartosistic Act is an allegoric reprezentation of this social-political alchemy. It is clear that for Bartos all ethical, aesthetic, social or other values are part of this circulation, just as academic philosophy. His cynic standpoint comes from his materialist fundamentalism.
Today
His current location is always changing, he’s travelling within the ruined hungarian rural areas listening to the voice of people forced to the merges of society. Most of his work today aren’t written, his interests are mainly in the oral history and his observations are presented in his performance acts and video massages which can be seen on his website created by his friends and comrades.
