Examining the under-theorized relationship between revolution and fascism, this book outlines a politics of resistance to these forms of domination. Through an examination of the psychic conditions created by integrated world capitalism, as well as by the revolutionary projects that oppose this form of financial and social organization, Anthony Faramelli identifies the limits of revolutionary thinking. In doing so he argues that revolutionary projects inevitably reproduce the same organization of life and structures of control as capitalism.Following its analysis of revolution and fascism, this book argues for a way out of our current political stasis through the development of a philosophically informed practice of resistance termed ‘assemblage politics’. Drawing on the resistant philosophies developed by Deleuze and Guattari, Howard Caygill’s defiant philosophy, and the Zapatista insurgents, the form of resistance proposed is marked by a structural fluidity that allows it to avoid being captured by capitalism’s repressive structures. Enabling a better understanding of the current social-political landscape, and providing a fuller context of the political necessity to move away from notions of revolution, this book is relevant to those interested in postcolonial theory and Latin American politics, political philosophy and the growing field of resistance studies.

A decisive turn is taking place in philosophy and politics: from Bandung and post colonial theory as well as the global legacy of ‘68 to a decolonized critique ready to take on the big themes once again: revolution, class, race, gender, poverty. This brilliant book is both proof and part of this crucial transformation, and we all owe a debt of gratitude to its author for this gift. Through this book and others like it, we are beginning to learn more about the encounters between the previous generation of Euro-American critics and their interlocutors elsewhere. Guattari in Brazil, John Berger in Mexican Chiapas, Michael Hardt in Central America and Colombia, or attending the seminal meetings of the Modernity/Coloniality Group. They listened, they learned and brought the insights of their Afro- and Amerindian interlocutors into their philosophical critiques. The result is a renewed sense of the intetwinement between racism, gender exclusion and poverty at the heart of integrated world capitalism, but also of the way in which Amerindian Perspectivism and ways to fabricate other temporalities that aren’t just temporary, as demonstrated by the Zapatista, show that there is life beyond money and capitalism now and ahead of us. Read this and let global oppressors tremble!
