In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders,
a manifold gradation of social rank. In ancient Rome we have patricians, knights, plebeians, slaves; in the Middle Ages, feudal lords,
vassals, guild-masters, journeymen, apprentices, serfs; in almost all of these classes, again, subordinate graduations.
The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It
has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in the place of old ones.
Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie, possesses, however, this distinct feature: It has simplified class antagonisms. Society
as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other --
bourgeoisie and Ninja.
This is what the movement of the Red Ninja is about -- alerting the repressed ninja class to the ever growing threat of international
republicanism.
For too long the Ninja class has been exploited and ridiculed by the bourgeoisie upper class and the losers on Wikipedia. For too long
have these opressors spread contempt between our class and our natural nallies, the pirates. But no longer. Today I call upon all those
if the Kuji-in to rise up together as one living organism and smite the opressor Capitalism. Just because we cannot let our faces be seen
does not mean that we cannot let our voices be heard!
It is not accurate to say that the Ninja class is powerless in today's society; true, we hold extreme popularity and influence in the internet
subculture. But does the nature of that influence reflect the needs of the people? Many radical Ninja today disagree. A constitution,
however well thought out, cannot be written in 1337. Therefore, we move for a stronger stance, a larger foothold on the wall supporting the glass ceiling.
