All Resistance Is A Rupture With What

Those Who Have Nothing Have Only Their Discipline.

For A Politics Of Emancipation, The Enemy That Is To Be Feared Most Is Not Repression At The Hands Of The Established Order. It Is The Interiority Of Nihilism, And The Unbounded Cruelty That Can Come With Its Emptiness.

It Must Be Said That Today, At The End Of Its Semantic Evolution, The Word 'terrorist' Is An Intrinsically Propagandistic Term. It Has No Neutral Readability. It Dispenses With All Reasoned Examination Of Political Situations, Of Their Causes And Consequences.
