A reflection on, and an extension of, the ideas laid out seven
years ago in The Coming Insurrection. The Invisible Committee's The
Coming Insurrection was a phenomenon, celebrated in some quarters
and inveighed against in others, publicized in media that ranged
from campus bulletin boards to Fox News. Seven years later, The
Invisible Committee follows up their premonitory manifesto with a
new book, To Our Friends. From The Invisible Committee: In 2007 we
published The Coming Insurrection in France. It must be
acknowledged that a number of assertions by the Invisible Committee
have since been confirmed, starting with the first and most
essential: the sensational return of the insurrectionary
phenomenon. Who would have bet a kopeck, seven years ago, on the
overthrow of Ben Ali or Mubarak through street action, on the
revolt of young people in Quebec, on the political awakening of
Brazil, on the fires set French-style in the English or Swedish
banlieues, on the creation of an insurrectionary commune in the
very heart of Istanbul, on a movement of plaza occupations in the
United States, or on the rebellion that spread throughout Greece in
December of 2008? During the seven years that separate The Coming
Insurrection from To Our Friends, the agents of the Invisible
Committee have continued to fight, to organize, to transport
themselves to the four corners of the world, to wherever the fires
were lit, and to debate with comrades of every tendency and every
country. Thus To Our Friends is written at the experiential level,
in connection with that general movement. Its words issue from the
turmoil and are addressed to those who still believe sufficiently
in life to fight as a consequence. To Our Friends is a report on
the state of the world and of the movement, a piece of writing
that's essentially strategic and openly partisan. Its political
ambition is immodest: to produce a shared understanding of the
epoch, in spite of the extreme confusion of the present.
