Our Mission

Constructing the Real began like the best projects do: as a surrealist proposition. What if Roger Stone taught a master class from prison, where he showed students how to bend reality to the point where the warped product supplanted the original event? We may never know the answer, but we can still apply the practice of studying existence through the lenses of history, politics, and culture to find out how societal forces are shaped, and in turn shape our ways of being.

To enable these studies we have created a DIY school which operates from a discord server that functions as both meeting place, and an archive of texts, guest speakers, and craft oriented exercises that we have researched and practiced together. Our server is open to reading circles centered around leftist perspectives, demonstrations of useful craft techniques, sharing business skills for artists, critique groups, and studies of esoteric, mystical, and collectivist histories.

If you are interested in joining us, or would simply like to pick our brains, feel free to contact us via the letter form found in the “get involved” tab. We are open to practitioners of all sorts who may like to include their course in our offerings, and all comrades who are looking to continue their education without drowning in debt. Together we aim to extend a creative curriculum to anyone who has the desire to learn.
