Leaving mobilization behind: Notes towards insurrection

What's needed is not representation, and even far less absence, but a putting-into-practice of radical indifference, a rejection in all forms of the being of totality. The compulsive passivity proposed to us is like a bad joke, and instead of laughter we respond with social war. In the elaboration of zones of offensive capacity, we shatter those who would have us give up the inoperative ecstasy of zones of indistinction which need no justification for the catastrophe of activism. To those who deride the singular joy in a burning dumpster or a c-clamped pushbar, we propose nothing less than to destroy their pathetic banality, without looking back.

This is a call to crisis, not an insistence on humanism. Every car set aflame is a refusal to be productive, a blow against the structure of liberalism, a recognition of the immanent temporality inherent in the articulation of multiplicities. Our need to desire is less the articulation of a concept than the setting forth of a line of flight. Confronted with those who neglect to recognize themselves in our orgies of negation, we offer neither criticism nor dialogue but only our derision.

It is necessary to commence for once and for all; not to dream of new ways to organize, but to make manifest the subterranean communes in the heart of each moment of friendship. We must negate all impotentiality—absolutely.
