Spinoza : le bien, la puissance propre et l’harmonie plutôt que le calcul utilitariste
#Spinoza ne réduit pas le #bien à l’#utile pour le plus grand #nombre. Pour lui, le bien, c’est ce qui est conforme à la #nature de chaque #être, à sa #puissance propre et à l’#harmonie de l’ensemble. Une #éthique de l’#accord et de la #connaissance, loin du calcul utilitariste. #Philosophie #BaruchSpinoza #ConcertDesVolontés Contrairement à l’utilitarisme, qui définit le bien comme…
These conflicts are not accidents (#Virilio), but the "dark side" of an order based on the exploitation of peripheries by centers (#Quijano, #Cusicanqui). Alain #Joxe calls this logic "#traumacracy": the capacity for #destruction (military, ecological, social) becomes as central as #production.

#Mumford's "#megamachine"—this fusion of political, technical, and economic #power—is embodied today in the neocolonial world-system (#Amin, #Wallerstein). Its driving force is permanent economic warfare (#Harbulot), which inevitably generates peripheral wars (#Badie).

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o : décoloniser l’esprit, la langue et la culture par le Kamīrīthū
Le courage de Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o pour #décoloniser l’#esprit, la #langue et la #culture est exemplaire. Contre l’#éducationAliénante qui produit des « #superstars » et des #massesPassives, il a défendu le #Kamīrīthū : une #éducationPopulaireCollective, qui démystifie le #savoir et rend le #peuple #acteur de sa propre #histoire. #NgũgĩWaThiongo #concertDesVolontés #philosophie #éducation…

The choice is ours: submit to the #Megamachine and its cycles, or invent new forms of #CollectiveWill and #Resonance. Let’s not wait for collapse—let’s create the conditions for #DirectDemocracy and #Emancipation, together.
Au-delà de la mégamachine : pour un « Concert des volontés » contre la fatalité oligarchique
Après des années d’#AnalyseCritique et d’EcologieRadicale, il est temps d’ouvrir un #ConcertDesVolontés. Face à la #mégamachine, à la #LoiDAirainDeLOligarchie et à la #ColonialitéDuPouvoir, comment penser et vivre l’émancipation collective ? J’invite toutes les volontés lucides à partager réflexions et stratégies.

Calling all critical minds: Let’s co-build this #ConcertDesVolontés .
- How to trigger Benjamin’s "time-stop"?
- Can we outpace the megamachine’s absorption?
- What’s your strategy for acratic futures?
Your voice matters. Let’s write the manifesto of liberation together. No more solo analysis—collective will NOW!
**5/6**
Warning: Post-rupture isn’t utopia. @davevolek critique holds: Even direct democracy risks elites. Solution?
- Rotate all roles (no "chiefs," only mediators)
- Destroy expertise monopolies (Foucault)
- Embed Albert Thierry’s "refusal to achieve" in social DNA
- Make conflict generative (Mouffe/Rancière)
**4/6**
Strategies for the rupture:
① Hybrid techno-ecology (Haraway/solarpunk)
② Proudhonian federalism
③ Street art as insurrection
④ Reclaiming Nietzschean *creative will* + Spinozist rationality
⑤ Applying Clastres: Fight centralization DAILY.
No more "waiting"—declare freedom NOW (Gorz/Illich)!
**3/6**
Benjamin’s "time-stop" isn’t metaphor: It’s an URGENCY. Before eco-social collapse, we may try:
- Democratic tumult (Abensour/Lefort)
- Neo-ruralism/ZAD permaculture
- Nomadic thought (Deleuze)
- Acracy (Thierry’s "refusal to achieve")
Dismantle the megamachine or repeat Nietzsche’s eternal return?

Clastres proved: Societies without state aren't "primitive" but consciously anti-hierarchical. Yet Michels' "iron law" haunts all revolutions. Why? Millennia of megamachine selection favoring bureaucratic elites (Guattari). But Kropotkin’s "mutual aid" shows: Non-competitive evolution is possible!

After several years of deep analysis, I could tell you : Domination isn't fate. From pharaonic pyramids to algorithmic governance, the #Megamachine (Mumford/Scheidler) thrives on centralization/specialization. Coloniality of power (Quijano) & center-periphery logic (Amin/Wallerstein) are its engines. Time for rupture?

Let’s move beyond critique and towards collective imagination. How do we break the spell of the megamachine? What forms of resistance, resonance, and emancipation can we invent—together? Your thoughts are welcome! Thanks again to those I haven't thanked, and especially to you, @tg9541 @davevolek @lo69 @carineczaj @fixiemama @villebooks @Philosophies @sz_duras @christopher for the mutual enrichment that interactions have brought in a human, subjective way.

But critique alone is not enough. I want to open a “concert of wills”—a space for shared analysis, resonance, and creative alternatives. I invite the brilliant minds I’ve met here to add their voices and visions.
4/6
Today’s algorithmic governance and technopolitics are just the latest forms of this logic. The coloniality of power is not only historical, but present in every aspect of our lives—center and periphery alike.
3/6
Thinkers like Clastres, Quijano, Mumford, Scott, Adorno, and many others help us see how domination is a multi-millennial pathology—diffuse, evolving, and deeply embedded in our social structures.
2/6
From ancient Egypt to Big Tech, the same logic persists: centralization, exclusion, and the instrumentalization of reason. The “megamachine” absorbs resistance and alternatives, producing only pyramids—material and symbolic.
Hello @tg9541 @davevolek @lo69 @carineczaj @fixiemama @villebooks @Philosophies @sz_duras @christopher
After 3 years of intense research (and 15+ years in radical ecology), I’ve reached a point where critique of domination—centralization, specialization, coloniality, and the “megamachine”—needs to become a shared, living conversation.

@enpassantparla Pourrions-nous nous accorder et conclure sur le fait que la définition de la multitude selon #Diderot est correcte, et que sa proposition de #ConcertDesVolontés est adaptée, pertinente?
Une organisation décentralisée, pour une démocratie insurgeante (#Lefort, #Abensour). C'est à dire, une forme d'#organisation de la #multitude...?
