A critique of capital through the lens of war, and a critique of
war through the lens of the revolution of 1968. "We are at war,"
declared the President of the French Republic on the evening of
November 13, 2015. But what is this war, exactly? In Wars and
Capital, Eric Alliez and Maurizio Lazzarato propose a
counter-history of capitalism to recover the reality of the wars
that are inflicted on us and denied to us. We experience not the
ideal war of philosophers, but wars of class, race, sex, and
gender; wars of civilization and the environment; wars of
subjectivity that are raging within populations and that constitute
the secret motor of liberal governmentality. By naming the enemy
(refugees, migrants, Muslims), the new fascisms establish their
hegemony on the processes of political subjectivation by reducing
them to racist, sexist, and xenophobic slogans, fanning the flames
of war among the poor and maintaining the total war philosophy of
neoliberalism. Because war and fascism are the repressed elements
of post-'68 thought, Alliez and Lazzarato not only read the history
of capital through war but also read war itself through the strange
revolution of '68, which made possible the passage from war in the
singular to a plurality of wars-and from wars to the construction
of new war machines against contemporary financialization. It is a
question of pushing "'68 thought" beyond its own limits and
redirecting it towards a new pragmatics of struggle linked to the
continuous war of capital. It is especially important for us to
prepare ourselves for the battles we will have to fight if we do
not want to be always defeated.
