Leaving humanism behind: Notes on crisis
Confronted with those who refuse to recognize themselves in our festivals of destruction, we offer neither criticism nor dialogue but only our contempt. It is necessary to commence without illusions; not to dream of new ways to negotiate, but to make manifest the subterranean desiring-bodies in the heart of each moment of friendship. Confronted with those who refuse to recognize themselves in our festivals of destruction, we offer neither criticism nor dialogue but only our contempt. What's needed is not fossilization of our desires, and even far less impotentiality, but a putting-into-practice of inoperative indifference, a rejection in all forms of the teleology of normalization. To those who deride the immanent joy in a barricaded hallway or a burning dumpster, we propose nothing less than to reject their pathetic representation, by any means necessary.
This is a call to insurrection, not an insistence on passivity. In the construction of zones of offensive capacity, we shatter those who would have us give up the singular ecstasy of rupture for the catastrophe of banality. Our need to desire is less the articulation of a concept than the elaboration of an event. The compulsive absence proposed to us is like a bad joke, and instead of laughter we respond with social war.
Every smashed window is a refusal to be productive, a blow against the being of the mileu, a recognition of the radical structure inherent in the articulation of encounters. We must destroy all mobilization—for once and for all.
