The Invisible Committee - Now - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A new political critique from the authors of The Coming Insurrection calling for a destituent process of outright refusal and utter indifference to government. Now is the phantom chapter to the Invisible Committee's previous book To Our Friends: a new critique from the anonymous collective that establishes their opposition to the world of capital and its law of labor addresses current anti - terrorist rhetoric and the ferocious repression that comes with it and clarifies the end of social democracy and the growing rumors of the need for a coming civil war. Now emerges at a time when the Invisible Committee's contestation has found echoes throughout the West with a collapse of trust in the police an inept weariness on the part of the political system a growing urgency for opposition a return of the theme of the Commune a vanishing distinction between radicals and citizens and a widespread refusal on the part of the citizen to be governed. As farcical political elections continue to unfold worldwide like a line of tumbling dominoes and governments increasingly struggle to reclaim a legitimacy that has already slipped out of their grasp Now clarifies the Invisible Committee's attitude toward all such elections and their outcome: one of utter indifference. Now proposes a destituent process that charts out a different path to be taken a path of outright refusal that simply ignores elections altogether. It is a path that calls for taking over the world and not taking power for exploring new forms of life and not a new constitution and for desertion and silence as alternatives to proclamations and crashes. It is also a call for an unprecedented communism a communism stronger than nation and country.
