The Brigade is a paranoid and poetic rant against an imaginary totalitarian system, the Anti-Everything Brigade (BTD), an allegory of the oppressive forces—police, capitalism, normativity—that stifle freedom, drugs, art, and love. Inspired by Artaud, Miller, and Burroughs, the text mixes hallucinations (explosive syringes, horses with severed fingers), subversive slogans (“Burn the money!”, “Don’t vote!”), and calls to revolt (“Take to the soul’s underground!”). Between cyberpunk satire and beat manifesto, it denounces a sanitized world where the Brigade controls even dreams, opposing its binary logic (“No beginning, no end”) with madness as the ultimate resistance. References to jazz, peyote, and dead junkies make it a disenchanted tribute to counterculture, while the Arabic at the end and the incantatory repetitions reinforce its ritualistic and desperate nature. The fight is lost before it begins, but the cry persists: “Nothing but an appearance…” and the promise of an eternal new beginning.
