Η 7η Οκτωβρίου: Νομική, πολιτική και ιδεολογική αποδόμηση μιας ψευδούς αφήγησης. Αυτός είναι ο υπαρκτός αντισημιτισμός φιλοφασισμός φιλο-θεοκρατισμός κομματιού τού κινήματος ΣΑΣ.

Πέραν της Δυνητικότητας: Νόμος, Δίκαιο, Εργασία και η Διπλή Δίκη / Beyond Potentiality: Law, Right, Labor, and the Double Trial
Beyond Potentiality: Law, Right, Labor, and the Double Trial
1) Prologue: The dark face of potentiality
When I now think potentiality and contingency, I sink into the sadness of their dark face, for it has been imposed on me by the “tribunal” of capitalism as well as by the inverted “tribunal” of today’s infuriated anti-capitalists. The dark straightforwardness of the capitalist trial is woven together with its truly opposing dark inversion, to co-constitute the darkest prison in the world.
2) The worker’s “double trial”
3) The engineered revelation of injustice as confirmation of abstraction
If the injustice of Law were not artificially provoked—if only the flat injustice endured by the “humble” workers existed—Law would stand merely as an asymmetric bourgeois-statist mystification. But under late “metropolitan” abstraction, the dramaturgy of revealing Law as unjust, by ingenious unlawfuls who exhibit its void, confirms symmetry and abstraction: it re-casts the subject, especially the worker, back into the place of potentiality under harsher ontic/ontological conditions, where one is judged doubly, by the guardians of abstraction and by its adversaries, as a non-acting, non-transgressing element.
4) Patriarchal anti-patriarchalism and the superego
The “intimates” indict with a patriarchal anti-patriarchalism. The “ought” their own praxis commands—magical and absolute self-determination—issues a stronger call than internalized civil law.
The guilt emitted by the bare condition of abstract wage-labor, continuously radiated by structurally “positive” state-bourgeois threats, is enriched by the guilt of non-action according to inverted bourgeois-statist models of anarchy or, in Greek conditions, of a prison-bound, prison-loving, militaristic (and notably failed-militaristic) anti-Semitic/anti-Zionist neo-Stalinism of the Middle East. Good luck disentangling yourselves; you do not have my blessing.
5) Methodological turn: from desire/production to right/law
6) The people’s desire for Law
Amid spectacles, the “disappeared,” now silent masses hold a deep contempt and seek Law—not statist caprice but an unshakable rule of dignified coexistence. This desire is decisive. Lose it and you lose the human in his deepest political-social being.
7) No vacuum between laws: revolution as law
8) Against anti-nomism; on Schmitt’s subterranean parentage
The post-Marxist disjunction of “right” versus “law” reproduces the sterile mirror of oppression/voiding and autonomous values. Severing right from law deepens nightmare. One must ground the problem at the juridico-legal point—without bourgeois legalism, and without anarchoid fantasies of absolute supersession. Here it becomes urgent to expose the deep relation of neo-leftisms to Carl Schmitt: not mere influence, but a paradoxical co-parentage. Schmitt’s decisionism, even in its “third” phase, poisons Law by the sovereign exception; it does not redeem it.
9) Law/Right as subsumptive creation of corporeality
Let “law” be an abstract compulsory rule with subsumptive power over other bodies, including juridical bodies. Corporeality is not a pre-given Nature but a produced abstraction within subsumptions; Law produces corporeality and, as abstraction, submits to its own abstraction. Hence Law’s historical entanglement with dominations. Yet Law also works inversely: it elevates existence into abstraction, introduces the Absolute of duty, and grounds democratic autonomy as a freedom of subsumptive energy upon things after we learn self-bending to the rule. Diffused socially, Law can act as a quasi-“natural” abolisher of the state—by de-statizing normativity rather than abolishing normativity itself.
10) The origin of justice: a specter over ruins
Justice becomes an autonomous value precisely when the libertarian iso-being of primordial, classless, stateless communities is destroyed. It is born upon ruins and thus bears a nihilating matrix. The web of Right/Law is often spun by priestly-oligarchic intelligentsia; it traps victims and makes them co-creators of its code, returning their wail to them as part of the web. Justice is a mirror of victims and perpetrators. Tearing it from Law does not loosen the knot; it tightens it.
11) Axiomatic thesis on creation/subsumption
Subsumptive social forms pre-produce their elements: they do not merely gather pre-existing materials; they create the very abstractions they subsume. This holds for law/right as well.
The primordial founding creative act (human) is not domination; yet it can found dominative forms. Such forms may contain creativity but never the foundational power: that remains “well-guarded.” Hence the founding is radically foreign to corporeality, even if it can transcendentalize it. When founding creativity creates justice, it does not admit bodies but proxies that have already lost them. Founding sees the inferno yet is not identical with it; to indict the founding itself is still more unjust than to indict the (partly justly indictable) infernal forms of law/right.
12) Political consequence: the worker’s Law as potential-active
13) Coda: the responsibility of Logos and Law
The Logos of Law/Right, as the joint of founding creativity and dominative forms, stands in historical jeopardy. A cynical “insurrection” against founding itself, via anti-nomism, merely hastens domination without even the scruple of value. The Aufhebung of this nihilist revolt does not come from moralism but from the descent of justice into the realm of appearances: instituting a rule that takes the crisis upon itself.
