It seems ever easier to imagine ecological collapse than an alternative to capitalism. Not only does capitalism evolve by either adapting or annihilating its critiques, the advent of a post-neoliberal world doubles down on the trap, and “we only get to sense the impossibility of taking a flight towards new emancipatory openings.” These timely and often liberatory essays resist the right-wing ascendance of the latest permutation of the trap and powerfully deploy the work of Deleuze and Guattari to reactivate our capacity to reimagine the self-overcoming of our economic and political global landscape.
