Breathing, Together, Conspiracy
The word ‘conspirator’ derives from the Latin verb
conspīrāre – a word that, while evoking 'conspiracy' in
the modern sense, also means ‘in harmony.’ Con-
means 'with' or 'together,' and spīrāre, 'I breathe': to
conspire is, quite literally, to breathe together with
others.
If the conspiratorial for us proposes a drift – an
indeterminate steering of the world’s anarchic
tendencies toward a communism of civil war,
then historical references, such as the clandestine
communists of the 19th century are instructive
only up to a point. Head-on war is a mistake
‘classical anarchists’ make.
Decentralised Or Not, This Is The Panopticon
Once again, there remains a fidelity,
among some, to the liturgies of democratic
governance. That those few who still see voting
as solidarity, not as a tactic of entryism,
marks another triumph of subjectivation,
the point where the management of bodies passes
itself off as their liberation. The voter becomes the
paradigmatic subject of this democracy, the
docile-yet-sovereign subject of bourgeois politics.
Voting is not revolt, nor is it change, it is what
precludes both. If alliances depend on
legitimacy to the state apparatus then they were
never about a difference to begin with. Even a
‘decentralised’ political party is one that says we
can take control of the state apparatus and do it
‘better’. To remember: within the central tower of
this panopticon, there is another tower, and inside
that, another. So, ‘once again, blind experimentation,
with no protocol or almost none.’
