-====They do not get rid of spatial control – they merely make it decentralized. Mobilizing activism through representative democracy is complicit with the tactics of governmentality which totalize resistance into the narrow purviews of civic engagement and institutional politics. This saps radicality and gives rise to popular fascism; activism must overthrow demands for representation through a nomadic tactic of formlessness resistance that refuses to yield to clear political motives. ==== |
