Power

‘Revolution isn’t seizing power but seizing the power of life and over life. Seizing power isn’t the culminating moment of the revolution but rather counter revolution in its purest form, in its triumph and its mockery.’ (Pino Tripodi, in Gli autonomi vol I)

‘Please don’t seize power.’  (A/traverso, September 1977)

Power and Opposition

The consecration of power must not carry greater weight for us than the halo of irreducible opposition.

(Cornelius Castoriadis: The Immaginary Institution of Society)
