WAR AND CAPITAL: FROM RESISTANCE TO INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENTS OF THE COMMON

Abstract

The article presents the relationship between war, crisis, and capitalism as constitutive of a form of economic, political, and subjective production that discourages the common perspective of social constitution. At this point, it becomes necessary to construct a critique of a certain model of production of subjectivities, and of a specific democratic project, namely that of liberal security democracies. That being said, what is proposed in the present work is to construct capitalism as war and crisis, which produces a type of subject and a democratic paradigm, in order to, in a second moment, propose a possible democracy based on new technopolitical arrangements that take place in common, and that at the same time constitute the common, presenting it as a necessary political-democratic destiny. The theoretical-analytical referential used is historical materialism in the viewpoint of Antonio Negri, who considers the antagonism between a creative subjectivity and a subjectivity constituted by capital. It is in this sense that new categories of analysis are established that allow us to account for new social subjects (the multitude/common) and to understand the forms of manifestation of the common based on these categories in antagonism to "imperial" categories.
