Product Description
Thirty years of “crisis,” mass unemployment, and flagging growth, and they still want us to judge in the economy. . . . We have to see that the economy is itself the crisis. It’s not that there’s not enough work, it’s that there is too much of it.
—from The Coming Civil disobedience
The Coming Civil disobedience 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—and with comparable elegance—it 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 agreed to a collective voice bent on denouncing contemporary cynicism and reality.” The Coming Civil disobedience is a strategic prescription for an emergent war-machine to “spread anarchy and live communism.”
Written in the wake of the riots that erupted throughout the Paris suburbs in the fall of 2005 and presaging more recent riots and all-purpose strikes in France and Greece, The Coming Civil disobedience articulates a rejection of the official Left and its reformist agenda, aligning itself as a replacement for with the younger, wilder forms of resistance that have emerged in Europe around recent struggles against immigration control and the “war on terror.”
Hot-wired to the movement of ‘77 in Italy, its preferred past reference point, The Coming Civil disobedience formulates an ethics that takes as its starting point theft, sabotage, the refusal to work, and the explanation of collective, self-organized forms-of-life. It is a philosophical statement that addresses the growing number of persons—in France, in the United States, and elsewhere—who refuse the thought that theory, politics, and life are separate realms.

Pure joy for persons who can, with a broad, unapologetic smile, imagine a world beyond capitalism, beyond territory.
Fearless, up-to-the-minute reasoning. Dynamic prose crafted in the tradition of the poet-logicians of the French left. Perfectly translated.
Yes, you can get it online for free, but then you’d miss the especially tasty photo wrapping up the inside covers.

The book is ok, it was bought new, and it is a paperback. This is a book you would only buy for college courses etc, or if some one suggested you should read it. It is not a novel.

Not too terrible a book. Gets dry in some areas (i.e. Communism). Some appealing philosophical points here and there. Not too sure what they were talking about with regards to work. Seems like work is work if its menial work regardless of post-capitalism or communism or what ever. Freedom by being forced into a community seems like it ain’t too free. But the real appealing part is when they speak of the death of the welfare state and being communist. I might have to read it again. It’s only 45 pages. Like any additional piece of propaganda, starts strong and BAM yer a commie dog. Hahahaha. Kinda like dumb people who reflect Obama is any different than Bush or whoever. “See, see, see, I’m crazy and reflect I know way more than I ever could. Swallow this initial BS and the rest will taste better and better”. Dull. On second thought, maybe it couldn’t have been better.

Just wanting to note, there are many different anticipations of “collapse” from the current way of doing culture. A favorite of mine offering a pro-equipment and pro-industry agenda is Post-Apocalyptic Industrialization: Sustaining High Culture After Massive Social Shift And Collapse. Another, not as entertaining, but offers a perfect literary type of discourse, is Manual For The 21st Century.
