A new political critique from the authors of The Coming Insurrection calling for a "destituent process" of outright refusal & 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 & its law of labor addresses current anti-terrorist rhetoric & the ferocious repression that comes with it & clarifies the end of social democracy & 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 & citizens & 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 & 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 & 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 & not taking power for exploring new forms of life & not a new constitution & for desertion & silence as alternatives to proclamations & crashes It is also a call for an unprecedented communism -- a communism stronger than nation & country
