Leaving mobilization behind: Notes towards insurrection

Confronted with those who fail to recognize themselves in our orgies of destruction, we offer neither dialogue nor criticism but only our contempt. In the realization of multiplicities, we shatter those who would have us give up the immanent joy of indifference for the misery of passivity. Our need to occupy everything is less the elaboration of a plan than the construction of a line of flight. The pathetic activism proposed to us is like a bad joke, and instead of laughter we respond with rupture.

What's needed is not representation, and even far less absence, but a putting-into-practice of singular zones of indistinction which need no justification, a rejection in all forms of the being of impotentiality. This is a call to social war, not an insistence on normalization. To those who deride the inoperative ecstasy in a c-clamped pushbar or a car set aflame, we propose nothing less than to negate their compulsive banality, without looking back. It is necessary to commence for once and for all; not to dream of new ways to make demands, but to make manifest the subterranean desiring-bodies in the heart of each moment of friendship.

We must reject all fossilization of our desires—without illusions. Every burning dumpster is a refusal to be productive, a blow against the teleology of liberalism, a recognition of the radical structure inherent in the articulation of becomings.
