exodus and resistance;

'what we need is to create a new social body, which is a project that goes well beyond refusal. Our lines of flight, our exodus must be constituent and create a real alternative. Beyond the simple refusal, or as part of that refusal, we need also to construct a new mode of life and above all a new community'

[...]

'The movement can only be constructed on exodus, but it must also exercise resistance. This is because power does not let you practice exodus in peace; it continuously attacks. Hence either exodus becomes militant and combative or it loses. You must exercise force even when you’d rather not, especially when you would rather not: the adversary imposes it'

[...]

'To take leave means destroying all the transcendental barriers that give meaning to the commanding logic of political representation'

- Antonio Negri
