Capitalism Without Being…

 DECEMBER 8, 2016  ALTEXPLOIT  4 COMMENTS
There is only one way to escape the alienation of present-day society: to

retreat ahead of it. – Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text
This powerful satement by Barthes, even, unintentionally, is thetic of

‘ accelerationism‘, the position that deliberates on the generation of forces of
dissolution as an inherent property of capitalism calling forth to be radically
challenged. How could this be achieved without falling into the trap of drawing
endlessly vicious circles of positioning the subject of revolt as always peripheral to
capital? One contingent solution lies in rehabilitating this subject of revolt in relation
to capital, such that, the immense circuit of capitalis exchanges makes room for
the possibility of coming-into-exisence of all modalities of jouissance, with none of
them sufering the fate of getting osracized (marginalized). This very well echoes
Lyotard’s position as sated in his Libidinal Economy.
My interes lay in connecting this rehabilitation with speculative realis sance,

which would lock away the correlationis (thinking and being as tightly coupled)
side, and appreciate the elevation of thinking capitalism as it would be in-itself. If,
one perceives capitalism as a gigantic productive machine, without any relation to
the human, one is successful in jettisoning the possessiveness involved therein, as
in, capitalism-for-humans, as either putative or pejorative. Capitalism then, as a
colossal producing machine, becomes inorganic, and calls for a traction along non-
anthropocentric lines. Such a reading creates ruptures within the Marxian discourse,
where, speculating on capitalism in-itself is either not permissible due to the tenets
of his labour theory of value, or, if at all undertaken, epitomizes levels of insanity.
Whereas, capitalism as inorganic, consrues speculation to be of highes value.
Supplementing this theme, is the DeleuzoGuattarian notion of capitalism-as-
proces, where a switch from concrete-ness to processuality invess the onus of
housing a true nature of capitalism as shifting from basic building blocks, such as,
forms of alienation to telos (desination) of the process.
The prescription is a call to embrace capitalism, in order to be liberated from the

polarities of agonizingly devaluing pos-modernism, and increasing bankruptcy of
the ideologies of liberal democracy. Such a liberation might create frameworks of
naivete, which would subsequently be liquidated with the emergence of inhuman
subjectivation in the face of relentlessly indefatigable capitalism. For such
emergence to be brought about, the embracing of capitalism would obligate the
dissolution of animated ideologies that drive corporate assemblages on the one
hand, and mass-based power sructures (sates, civil societies etc.) on the other.
Such a dissolution, in the words of Alex Williams would usher in an absolutization
of an adequation of pos-human subjectivity to capital, and in turn would also carry
a caveat akin to revolution eating its own children. One way to safeguard from this
caveat is to go back to Deleuzian notion of metabolic rate within capitalism through
the vesiges of Foucauldian ‘man’ that derives its dependency on the analytic of
fnitude while attempting to face up to the relentless brutal force of capitalism. This
not only negotiates the falling back into the already experienced conservative
subjectivation, but also formulates a novel theorizing accounting for the expansive
nature of capitalism, homeosatically arresing the realization of pernicious
potentials of capitalism.
Nothing would obviously prevent from thinking about such a form of realized
capitalism as fantasy. Williams invokes the Badiouian fction with its potency to
bring about a completed truth, and in turn actualize its own reality. This invocation
is required to undertake a radical new reading of the friction generated in balancing
the deterritorializing/reterritorializing axiomatic within capitalism, a position that is

not adversative to the real praxis built upon the sysem. The re-reading departs
from Nick Land’s, where any deterritorialization sends an immediate
reterritorialization into oblivion. Importantly, what is required is a frm belief in the
negativity harbored in capitalism, through an accelerationis reading to safeguard
the critique of the left on one hand, and the praxis of the right on another. This
would not only maintain Deleuzean becoming sans afrmation, but equally
legitimize capitalism’s colossal machinic satus in tune with Lyotard’s observation
(above), thereby expounding what is truly adequate to capitalism-in-itself.
How would an accelerationis reading difer from another communis revolution-in-

the-making? The idea propounded by Williams is mos suitable, for,
accelerationism, in a weak sense, would be opposed to ameliorative leftism by
acting to foreground the sructural privations of the capitalis sysem, and
accelerationism in its srong sense would mutate the sysem itself rather than
getting engulfed in the euphoria of capitalism’s downfall. It is precisely in the srong
sense of the word, accelerationism would talk about capitalism as inorganic, or as
nullifying the subjectivity, or even for that matter, resemble as efectuating
inhumanism. This inhumanism, or inhuman becoming poses the problematic of
grounding politics. In other words, with speculative realism as a tool, an un-
correlated philosophical sysem at place would fnd its grounding on to the
correlated domains of political sysem quite misftting.
To circumvent this problematic, either through taking recourse to Deleuzean notion

of capitalism as a sysem of deterritorializing/reterritorializing fows, or some sort of
dialectical movement, with the haunting of de-subjectivation, if at all attainable, this
could only be made so through the trace of what praxis seeks to eliminate….
But, then this is only a dream now with no academic ambitions to pursue.
Fictionalised.
