- Summary:
- "The meme reopens the basic question of the Party, and offers what is perhaps the minimal basis for organizing a force of rupture in the twenty-first century. The fluidity of the meme makes it possible to join a march, a blockade or a roundabout occupation without having to buy into a "common interest" or the legitimizing "beliefs" of a movement. It does not solve, but simply defers the question of a common grammar of suffering to a later point...The meme authorizes everyone to act on their respective experience of how the 'elites' (a deliberately under-constructed enemy) have screwed them over, like a Tarot deck in which the audience fills in the personal content. Each of us is invited to intervene against the enemy without waiting or asking permission, and for our own reasons."-- provided by distributor.
