The Burners' Revolutionary Council (BRC) was formed to create and enforce a code of Ethics for Burning Issue Magazine which strictly adheres to Sacrificial Logic.
Sacrificial Logic extends from the universal and profound truth of Sacrifice. Sacrifice restores to the Sacred that which servile use has degraded or rendered profane. What is Sacred or Divine is - in its essence - the apotheosis of human possibility. The BRC believes that from this truth flows the Logic of all Moral Action. Hence, the destruction of currency - which is the purest and most intimate form of sacrifice available to us without either one's own death or the death of another living being - is the only truly righteous action for money. Charity, exchange and investment are all profane actions. These sentiments are captured in the BRC's motto 'Every Burn is a Good Burn. To Spend is to Sin!'
FAQ
What does the BRC do?
The BRC is responsible for appointing an Editor for each edition of Burning Issue Magazine and determining the terms and conditions of sale (or non-sale).
Who are the BRC?
The BRC's membership is secret and, as a condition of membership and on pain of instant and retroactive revocation, all members are required to deny their membership. In other words, if someone tells you they're a member of the BRC, they're not and never have been.
Can I become a member of the BRC?
Membership is by invitation only. If we want you, we'll be in touch. There is no recommendation process and no application form.
How many members of the BRC are there?
It is not certain that anyone knows the true number.
Why does the BRC have such a strict media policy? Surely it'd be better to engage with the public?
To engage with 'utility-slaves' (or 'the public', or 'non-burners', or however you wish to describe the unenlightened) would be to doubt the immanence and power of Total Burn. It is not our task to persuade people to burn. Indeed, our stringent lack of engagement facilitates a greater 'transcendence distance'. In other words, by not communicating with utility-slaves we bless them with the opportunity of a deeper absolution from the sin of spending. When they come into the Light of the Burn of their own free will the capacity for transformation and enlightenment within the individual is maximised.
Is it true that the BRC actually stands for Bataille Revivalist Cult?
No. But our name is not important, only our devotion and service to Total Burn.
What is Total Burn?
Pay better attention. This has already been defined on the History page.
