For the fourth time in just over a century, the reality of war looms before the helpless gaze of a population lacking the political and conceptual resources to confront it. An imperialist war, like the one being waged in Ukraine; or a colonial war of extermination, like the one perpetrated by Israel in the Palestinian Territories. Or perhaps a proliferation of (asymmetric) civil wars erupting in one place or another around the globe. The novelty is that there are no longer any mediators: with all its violence, a new cycle of accumulation is unleashed, and the complicit Western democracies have little to offer. Thus, with neoliberal “peace” exhausted and under conditions imposed by the radicalized right, what is to be done? How does the weak, disorganized, and forgetful contemporary proletariat build and accumulate strength? How does it envision strategies that go beyond the micro level, beyond “ways of life,” beyond “self-care”? Strength and strategy mean the organization of subjectivity. And civil war is a formidable machine for the production and transformation of mass subjectivity.
