Thirty years of “crisis,” mass unemployment, and flagging growth, and they still want us to believe in the economy…. We have to see that the economy is itself the crisis. It\u2019s not that there\u2019s not enough work, it\u2019s that there is too much of it. \u2014 from The Coming Insurrection<\/p>\n
The Coming Insurrection is an eloquent call to arms arising from the recent waves of social contestation in France and Europe. Written by the anonymous Invisible Committee in the vein of Guy Debord\u2014and with comparable elegance\u2014it has been proclaimed a manual for terrorism by the French government (who recently arrested its alleged authors). One of its members more adequately described the group as “the name given to a collective voice bent on denouncing contemporary cynicism and reality.” The Coming Insurrection is a strategic prescription for an emergent war-machine to “spread anarchy and live communism.”
