A few words from the publisher
The riots in Greece, and their echo world wide, are signs that the global capitalist crisis, which first presented itself as a financial crisis, is actually a crisis of the relation of exploitation, a crisis of the mutual implication between the two classes of this mode of production. It is a crisis of the relation which reproduces capital and labour-power through their confrontation with each other. In Greece the crisis has taken for the better part, and as a result of the limits of the riots, the form of a matter of discipline.
While all the measures, counter-measures, plans – in strategic terms, capital’s offensives – filled the horizon, the plumes of smoke from Molotov cocktails in Athens, Patras, Thessaloniki, Malmö, the sounds of broken glass, in Gent, Paris, London, stones thrown at cops everywhere, have erected a screen between the unsurpassable horizon of capitalism and the terrifying present of this crisis. Three months after the collapse of global stock exchanges, three years after the riots in the French suburbs, the wildfires of young proletarians of the world remind us that the class war is very much ongoing.
