Welcome to Litsy!

Book calender day 2! This is short but not a quick read, mainly because it's translated from French very badly. As in, the words are English but most of the sentence structure is French. Caused quite a stira a decade ago.
Mostly I don't read short books, it feels like cheating. #bookadventcal2k19

"The future has no future" is the wisdom of an age that, for all its appearance of perfect normalcy, has reached the level of consciousness of the first punks.

The sphere of political representation has come to a close.

Marlene: “I‘m interested in social movements, especially now that there is a lot of violence and helplessness caused by the government. The authors of this book are The Invisible Committee and remain anonymous. They don‘t believe in the importance of an individual. They want to create a community where everyone has a role in the social structure. I‘m a political scientist. It‘s my duty to find new ways of organizing ourselves as a society.â€�

There are a lot of interesting ideas in this little book. I don't agree with everything they say, but damn it, it packs a punch.

The era of states, nations and republics is coming to an end, and the country that sacrificed all its vitality to these forms remains stunned by that fact.

Uhm.. It's a short book, all of it is extremely French (a combination of political factors and a meh translation) and quite 2008, but it really shapes up in the last ~20 pages. I started it years ago and lost it (and any urge to read it) but finished the second half in a short time once I picked it up again.
