This essay is an exercise in contextualization, applied to the 2014 Sunflower Movement, that aims to achieve an analogical continuation of the Movement. At the center of its efforts at contextualization, the essay examines the political meaning of the current changes in global capitalism. The concrete indices of this change, which ought to be characterized as an event of Massive Historical Transformation, include debt, financialization, digitalization, algorithmic governance, transnational free trade deals, digital labor, logistics and sovereignty, etc. The working hypothesis of this paper is that the political meaning of these transformations can be summarized by the idea of a corporate coup in the emerging Global State. Hence, this essay could be understood as a dialogue between two events, the Sunflower Movement and the Corporate Coup in the Global State. As such, its main mission is to distinguish those parts of the Sunflower Movement that resist the global coup from those parts that might be complicit with it. The underlying concern in advancing this distinction is to destroy the political and intellectual apparatus of colonial-imperial modernity: the framework of species difference. Just as the word species covers three domains, biology, economy and general taxonomy, this essay aims to grasp at a macro level the importance of species difference to the political organization of populations, the disciplinary organization of knowledge, and the capitalist organization of labor. In order to prevent the infrastructure of the colonial-imperial modernity, the apparatus of species difference, from being mobilized by the new wave of colonization gathering in our era, the colonization of the biosphere, this essay attempts to find resources for resistance and creation in theories of translation and technical objects, in order to destroy the subjective technology of the apparatus of species difference. In other words, the focus of this essay's foray into political theory is to be elaborated through the question, how to resist logistics and cybernetics? As one of the first avowed movements against logistics arising in a special logistical zone, the Sunflower Movement begs for a global interpretation. |
