Abstract
The reverse side develops the Digger idea of the “nova” as a freely forming constellation of people, offered as the living alternative to the closed, seniorized, hierarchical systems condemned on the front. Drawing on the example of the free food “novas” already functioning since September 1966, the sheet imagines social life as fluid, pulsating, decentralized, and open to all, in place of the deadening slots, cubicles, images, and authority roles imposed by the Establishment. Its attack extends from class identities and money to language itself, calling for communities to create their own rapidly changing forms of speech, gesture, and nonverbal communication outside the control of mass media and mass syntax. In this vision, the nova becomes both a social form and a way of being: nomadic, improvisatory, anti-hierarchical, and rooted in the continual remaking of free communal life.

novas are constellations of people who voluntarily free form — the alternative to groups that are hired to function in the mental institutional systems. novas are freely open to all all the time in all ways forever. move. flex. pulse. expand. inpand. grow.

closed seniorized heirarchical institutional systems physical and mental are death.

kings, presidents, generals, mothers, teachers, executives, and other authority icons and idols are death. nova and novas are born free and die free as doing is done. be. be. be free. freely choose nova or novas. find natural identity in nova, not in the planned obsolescence of mass images and plastic formulas.

FUCK the poor boy image always getting bargains and always getting over payed.
FUCK the middle boy image grey in cortivans going to college to get ahead.
FUCK the rich boy image always saying that's the way it always was and will be and one can't fiux it.
