Between violent realism and dictatorial utopia, extremes shared on the right and left by those who want to win wars to build a "new man", there is political conflict and its republican rules.  As well as the growing radicalization of its victims. violence in the trenches themselves and the generalization of post-traumatic stress. As well as the growing radicalization of its victims. violence in the trenches themselves and the generalization of post-traumatic stress. As well as the growing radicalization of its victims.

In this way, we could say that under capitalism, and more so in its technologized neoliberal version, what we increasingly lack is the world; that is, conflict. That is, republican and democratic politics. That is, politics to dry. The "populist" advance of antipolitics throughout the planet, as an expression of what Steven Forti would call "extreme right 2.0"4, reveals above all this structural "state of war" that has renounced regulating the conflict, that renounces the conflict itself and, therefore, the shared "world" and that, for that reason, because it is already there crumbling ruins, neither it does not even need legal warfare to destroy the common subject.

It is not to be ruled out, of course, that, as now in Ukraine India Email List Putin's criminal invasion, we will see wars multiply and worsen. Putin's gesture is very dangerous, in effect, because it reveals the failure of the regulated procedures for conflict management, both global and international, but it is, above all, because it tries to reestablish naked geopolitics (the practice and the preparation of war) as the only horizon of "understanding" between the powers. Sometimes, from the left, an attempt is made to play down the seriousness of the Russian aggression by opposing a luxuriant inventory of US imperialist interventions, as if it were a banal football revenge or as if we could not recognize and combat evil in different forms and expressions.
