living and fighting

Mar 31, 2009 21:08

“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. Because each time one of these terms finds itself in some way separated from the other, the war machine degenerates, goes off track. 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.”
-Tiqqun

This is an excerpt from something that might find itself turned into another FRIENDS pamphlet, or part of a larger compilation of essays on the concept of war-machine (from Deleuze and Guattari, to Tiqqun and Milwaukee).
