“By war machine, a certain coinciding of living and fighting should be understood, a certain coincidence that never leads itself to demanding/imposing without at the same time being built.

If it is the moment of living that is unilateralized, it becomes a ghetto… if it is the moment of struggling that is singled out, the war machine degenerates into an army.”
