"We live within a planetary machine defined by the production of capital and the management of life to ensure this machine’s stability and endurance. Life is an undefinable expanse of possibilities. This cybernetic machine is one which functions to restrain and represent these possibilities in order to sell them back to you as a refined and neutralized product. The capitalist system is not, however, omniscient. The corrective measures it applies are predominantly derived from confrontations with that which aims to escape it. In any circuitry, there is resistance. This resistance always precedes the machines that work tirelessly to quell it. Capitalism organizes the world, but it always organizes against an alternative mode of living that is not immediately economic. It is not that there is simply “no alternative,” but rather that capitalism sustains itself by identifying and then destroying or integrating threats to its stability."
