Deskripsi

In the text that follows, Berardi articulates a truly remarkable synthesis of the most important themes in post-workerist Italian thought. In the first part of his argument, Berardi explains how the Marxist-Leninist heritage, which dominated the Italian communist left during the 1960s and 1970s, was incapable of understanding the profound mutations of late-capitalist society. Hans Jürgen Krahl is remembered here as one of the first critics of traditional Marxist theory. According to Berardi, the increasingly “mental”—others would say “immaterial”— nature of work in post-industrial societies renders obsolete the Marxist definitions of work and of political struggle. In order to formulate a critique of the latest developments of capitalism, Berardi considers earlier theories of the relation between technology and political power, notably Marcuse’s critique of “one dimensional Man.” He then analyzes the contribution of North American theorists of the capitalist economy, like Peter Drucker, and of virtual communication, like Arthur Kroker and Michael Weinstein. In the last pages of the text, Berardi explains the theory of Exodus as the only alternative left to fight the control exerted by capital over technological discoveries and imaginative potentialities, an alternative that implies a constant struggle to be waged in late capitalist development—that is, the construction of subjectivity and affects.
