Moscow, January 1st,
2019
Simon Critchley
Written in 2013 for the blog Communists In Situ,
“Moscow January 1st, 2019” charts the dystopian
future of global capitalism, unwittingly painting an
accurate picture of the crumbling US empire in the
post-Trump era while pointing to the radical dangers
embedded in the neoreactionary nightmare of state
secession and techno cosmopolitanism.

#AltWoke Companion
Introduction:
&&&
There is no term more ubiquitous, obnoxious, and self-serving in our
current lexicon as “woke.” Woke is safety-pin politics, masturbatory
symbolism, and virtue signaling of a deflated Left insulated by
algorithms, filter bubbles, and browser extensions that replace pictures of
Donald Trump with Pinterest recipes.
Woke is a misnomer — it’s actually asleep and myopic. Woke is a safe
space for the easily distracted and defensive pop culture inbred. Woke is
the Left curled up in a fetal ball scribbling think pieces about Broad City
while its rights get trampled by ascendant fascism, domestically and
globally.
What Is #AltWoke? #AltWoke is: The Catalytic Left.
Post-Landian Left-Accelerationism. Team Reza
Negarestani. ‘The Dark Insurrection.’ Direct action
hacktivism. Free market socialism. Apocalyptic
communism. Intersectional xenofeminism.
Environmentally conscientious nihilism. Libidinal
Marxism. Platform stacktivism. IoT urban policy.
High post-post-structuralism. The Corporate
Undercommons. Gratuitous neologism and
nomenclature trolling. Lifestyle branding as political
ideology & vice versa. AltWoke™: […]
Woke is the easy button: it combats injustice by sharing videos of police
brutality to an echo of outrage.
Woke is bereft of irony: it shares HuffPo articles about gentrification
from condos in Flatbush and Oakland.
Woke is alchemy: it transmutes oppressed identities into advertising
campaigns, trend reports, and new demographics to market towards.
Woke is poptimstic: it believes Jaden Smith becoming the face of Louis
Vuitton is enough to qualify as a win for progress.
Woke is content with the status quo: it would be perfectly content if

another economic collapse happened tomorrow, just as long as those
who rigged it were sufficiently intersectional.
Woke is a sanctimonious grammar-nazi who critiques the bully’s phrasing
of “stop hitting yourself,” through toothless gums. Woke is too ethical
for its own good.
Woke is the gospel truth of the new evangelical Leftist. Woke is the Left’s
consolidated failures distilled into a monosyllabic buzzword. A whimper
into the digital landscape prefixed with a hashtag, arriving at the same
point each time: #Woke is the literal antithesis of progress.
CATALOGUE OF THE WOKE LEFT’S FAILURES
Mohammad Salemy
Political debates surrounding the question of
democracy versus elite despotism has an interesting
history. As a Persian, I find the passages 80-87 from
Herodotus’ Histories demonstrating how these
debates predate modern Europe and are rooted, at
least in written text, in the struggle between Persia and
Greece for civilizational hegemony: 80. And now
when five […]
1. Moderate Liberal
The moderate Left misappropriated theoretical terms and concepts,
divorced from any actual theory. Identity politics, despite its origins in
academia, flourishes best on social media — it’s the most accessible
concept for moderate liberals to grasp.
“Well, if identity is only a game, if it is only a procedure to have relations, social and
sexual-pleasure relationships that create new friendships, it is useful. But if identity
becomes the problem of sexual existence, and if people think that they have to ‘uncover’
their ‘own identity,’ and that their own identity has to become the law, the principle,
the code of their existence; if the perennial question they ask is ‘Does this thing
conform to my identity?’ then, I think, they will turn back to a kind of ethics very close
to the old heterosexual virility. If we are asked to relate to the question of identity, it
must be an identity to our unique selves. But the relationships we have to have with
ourselves are not ones of identity, rather, they must be relationships of differentiation, of
creation, of innovation. To be the same is really boring. We must not exclude identity
if people find their pleasure through this identity, but we must not think of this identity
as an ethical universal rule.” — Michel Foucault, “Sex, Power, and the
Politics of Identity” (1984)
Identity politics became an albatross, however. Both the moderate and
radical were too eager to evangelize oppressed identities. There was no
room for discussion, no place for debate. Call outs, clap backs, and other
reality tv patois replaced dialectics.
Representation is the de facto litmus of society’s progress for the
moderate liberal — society appeared more inclusive and diverse because
“Orange is the New Black” has a female lead and a multiethnic
supporting cast. They inhabit a never ending, curated echo chamber of
think pieces, listicles, notifications, and retweets.
Everyone within their algorithmic ghetto shares their sentiments about
society. The algorithm makes their small corner seem far more vast than
it actually is, and as a result, the moderate extends this myopia to society
at large.
The moderate midwifed the birth of the Alt-Right through bipartisan
compromises. Moderate liberals are basically content to vest trust in their
vaunted Democratic Party as it slides further to the right, thereby
underpinning a level of discourse friendly to the far-right. It’s worth
remembering that the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries
were a period of diehard cooperation between liberals and conservatives
in crafting today’s authoritarianism.
Neoconservatism provided socio-political planning that complemented a
neoliberal economic agenda. This is why the radical Left blames liberals
as well as conservatives for “command and control policing”, mass
surveillance and this century’s rationale for endless warfare.
Moderate liberals provided and adopted theoretical frameworks that
explained away structural oppression but retained an appearance of
caring about racism and equality across intersecting spectrums of gender
and sexuality.
This was an obvious farce that mystified progress and the far right took
advantage of this because they actually suffered no serious political
setbacks. Liberalism provided an incubator for the alt right to form by

mollifying actual demands for change.
“If politics without passion leads to cold-hearted, bureaucratic technocracy, then passion
bereft of analysis risks becoming a libidinally driven surrogate for effective action.
Politics comes to be about feeling of personal empowerment, masking an absence of
strategic gains.” — Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams, “Inventing the
Future” (2015)
2. Radical Left
If the liberal is the evangelical, pearl clutching apostle of the woke Left,
the radical, then, is St. Augustine — the hierophant, the pedagogue. The
radical is the vanguard inhabiting academia & activism, creating the
language and atmosphere of critique.
Its ideologies trickle down from intellectuals at universities to moderate
liberals on social media, and more recently, the Alt-Right (e.g. culture
jamming by way of “meme magic” or the synthesis of identity politics
and white nationalism by way of identitarianism).
Radicals scapegoated liberals to absolve themselves of any responsibility
by being all critique with no tangible answers. The radical left in its
current incarnation is somewhat fossilized in terms of strategies and
needs an immediate remodelling.
The radical is too comfortable inhabiting only the periphery of academia
& activism. Radical academics and activists are insulated not only by
algorithms but also their obsolescence. The radical academic has failed to
bridge the gap between intellectuals & larger society.
That is, intellectuals failed to subvert hegemony and normativity.
Academics did not do enough to reach beyond universities and make
positive reforms to public education. Intellectuals failed to politicize the
natural sciences early enough. Intellectuals lost programming and hacker
culture to neoliberalism & libertarians. Computer science transitioned
from cyberpunk to Silicon Valley venture capitalism.
Had radical academics succeeded, there might’ve been more legitimacy in
the fight to combat climate change. Or traditional journalism wouldn’t
have been so easily defeated by the post-fact information economy. What
we have now is a new Scholasticism of students & professors as clergy
dominated by an agitated, anti-intellectual populist bloc.
“Learning surrenders control to the future, threatening established power. It is
vigorously suppressed by all political structures, which replace it with a docilizing and
conformist education, reproducing privilege as wisdom. Schools are social devices whose
specific function is to incapacitate learning, and universities are employed to legitimate
schooling through perpetual reconstitution of global social memory. The meltdown of
metropolitan education systems in the near future is accompanied by a quasi-punctual
bottom-up takeover of academic institutions, precipitating their mutation into amnesiac
cataspace-exploration zones and bases manufacturing cyberian soft-weaponry.” Nick
Land, “Meltdown” (1994)
The radical activist lost its sense resistance. There are no radicals in
Congress. There are no radical lawmakers. No radical judges. Community
organizing is helpful, but it’s not sufficient. To remain relevant radicals
have to widen their scope to adapt to the changing global climate.
“The idea that one organisation, tactic or strategy applies equally well to any sort of
struggle is one of the most pervasive and damaging beliefs among today’s left. Strategic
reflection – on means and ends, enemies and allies – is necessary before approaching
any political project. Given the nature of global capitalism, any postcapitalist project
will require an ambitious, abstract, mediated, complex and global approach – one that
folk-political approaches are incapable of providing.” — Nick Srnicek and Alex
Williams, “Inventing the Future” (2015)
WHAT IS #ALTWOKE:
http://tripleampersand.org/alt-woke-manifesto/[9/22/2017 11:28:34 PM]
#AltWoke Manifesto - &&& Journal&&& Journal
1. Theoria
AltWoke is a new awakening for the post-modern Left to navigate the
protean digital era. Altwoke can be categorized as the new New Left. Or
Second Wave Neo-Marxism. The Post- Truth Left. Anti-liberal
postcapitalist left. AltWoke is antithetical to Silicon Valley technoneoliberalism. AltWoke is not the cult of Kurzweil. AltWoke is not merely
analogous to the Alt-Right. AltWoke injects planning back into left-wing
politics. AltWoke supports universal basic income, biotechnology and
radical energy reforms to combat climate change, open borders, new
forms of urban planning and the liquidation of Western hegemony.
AltWoke sees opportunity in disaster. AltWoke is the Left taking
futurism away from fascism. David Harvey is #altwoke. Situationist
International is #altwoke. Lil B is #altwoke. Jean Baudrillard is #altwoke.
Kodwo Eshun is #altwoke, Mark Fisher is #altwoke, Roberto
Mangabeira Unger is #altwoke. Edward Snowden is #altwoke. Daniel
Keller is #altwoke. Chelsea Manning is #altwoke. Theo Parrish is
#altwoke. William Gibson is #altwoke. Holly Herndon is #altwoke.
Frantz Fanon is #altwoke. Alvin Toffler is #altwoke.
2. Poiesis
Anti-liberal, Left-accelerationism. Revolution is slow & gradual.
Technology, media, the global market, and culture accelerate the process.
Alt-Woke embraces the post-fact information economy as a pedagogical
tool.
Culture is more important than policy.
Trickle-down ideology; AltWoke embraces normalization & hyperreality.
Memetic counter-insurrection: culture-jamming is the weapon of choice
to tilt normalization in the direction we’d like it to go.
Xenofeminism. Technology is the missing component of intersectional
politics. Eurocentrism and phallocentrism are obsolete, despite the
Right’s best efforts. Queer is a verb, not a noun. If nature’s oppressive,
change nature. Normalize “deviance.”
Reappropriation of globalism as a personal lifestyle.
AltWoke is duplicitous, amoral, & problematic. But also conscientious.
The ends always justify the means. The Right hits low, so we hit lower,
harder, and without mercy.
AltWoke is cautiously optimistic about the future.
PREFACE TO PRAXIS
Why support Left-Accelerationism?
Accelerationism is a contested and obtuse term among the Left, so in
order to understand what accelerationism is, it’s crucial to understand
what it isn’t.
Accelerationism doesn’t propose letting capitalism expand and erode to
such a degree that its corrosive contradictions become so unbearable that
the oppressed and working classes have no choice but to revolt. #AltWoke doesn’t and wouldn’t espouse such a simplistic and foolish
framework, either.
In its neutral alignment, accelerationism is the idea that neoliberalism
facilitates so much growth — economically, technologically, and globally
— that its social contradictions continue to expand to such a degree that
its “collapse” is not only inevitable, but creates a vacuum for new
integrated social platforms. That is, like feudalism before it, late
capitalism is transitory and incubates other socioeconomic ideologies that
will ultimately replace it, since it’s now reaching its limits.
In its Right alignment, accelerationism is a schism: Neoreaction (NRx) is a
radical libertarianism accelerating toward neoliberalism’s ultimate
conclusion: plutocratic corporate monarchism (e.g., man as nation). The
second is the Alt-Right, which is white identity politics accelerating
toward capitalism’s ultimate conclusion: techno-fascism.
Left Accelerationism insists the only way out of capitalism is through it.
http://tripleampersand.org/alt-woke-manifesto/[9/22/2017 11:28:34 PM]
#AltWoke Manifesto - &&& Journal&&& Journal
It’s become apparent that capitalism is reaching its limits, and it can’t
sustain itself any longer. The marriage of capitalism and democracy has
been a powerful roadblock in the Left’s struggle to combat structural
power. In its late phase, this divorce of capitalism and democracy is
imminent.
“But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade
system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the
proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system
hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I
vote in favor of free trade.” —Karl Marx, “On the Question of Free Trade”
(1884)
Left Accelerationism is a vindication of Marxism that synthesizes vertical
tektology. It anticipates capitalism’s collapse, repurposing growth and
technology against its progenitor and nudges that collapse toward a
Leftist counter-hegemony. Capitalism provides the efficiency of
integrated networks, it provides the tools to combat the inequalities of its
rapacious growth. A post-scarcity, socialist society can sustain itself from
the technologies capitalism produces.
“The paradox of free-market communism is even more dramatic: the terms are strongly
charged, ideological polar opposites, designating a kind of Mexican standoff between
capitalism, on the one hand, and its archenemy and would-be grave digger, on the
other. But the point of combining the terms free market and communism in this
way is to deploy selected features of the concept of communism to transform capitalist
markets to render them truly free and, at the same time, to deploy selected features of
the free market to transform communism and free it from a fatal entanglement with the
State.” —Eugene W. Holland, “Nomad Citizenship: Free-Market
Communism and the Slow-Motion General Strike” (2011)
The process of acceleration is well under way and no one but the most
dogmatic and naive beltway libertarian would argue contrary. Left
Accelerationism in an alternative to traditional avenues like reform or
revolution and attempts to reorganize power from within power. It does
this without completely discarding avenues like reform or revolution,
either.
Left-Accelerationism is a synthesis of Marxism with vertical-scale
tektology. It’s Gramsci by way of Debord and David Harvey by way of
Deleuze.
Why embrace a post-facts/post-truth information economy?
As it stands, narrative is more important than facts. Media and
communications are so accelerated that both sides of the political
spectrum are locked in a battle over consensus. Traditional pedagogy will
not work in this instance. The Left hurts itself by not using this to its
advantage.
“Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with
evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would
create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And
because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and
even deny anything that doesn’t fit with the core belief.” —Franz Fannon, “Black
Skin, White Masks” (1952)
Why is culture more important than policy? Why weaponize memetics? What is
“trickle down ideology”? Why support hyperreality and normalization?
Culture is society’s barometer. From the meme unleashed by Marshall
McLuhan’s too-oft repeated phrase “the medium is the message,” author
Joshua Meyrowitz seems to have taken it most seriously. “No Sense of
Place” is an analysis into how television changed society by altering
society’s access to information.
Meyrowitz forms a clear theory on information-power systems and
discusses ways in which television breaks those down. At the end of the
book, Meyrowitz chooses three specific topics: the merging of childhood
http://tripleampersand.org/alt-woke-manifesto/[9/22/2017 11:28:34 PM]
#AltWoke Manifesto - &&& Journal&&& Journal
and adulthood, the merging of masculinity and femininity, and the
lowering of the political hero through the demystification of power.
Meyrowitz fundamentally believes that many social groupings and
hostilities exist due to access to and restrictions of information and space.
When information and space are separated, then the boundaries between
social groups relax. For example, the television show ‘The Jeffersons,’
brought white families in their living rooms to the living room of a black
family; and news coverage of the war in Vietnam “brought the war
home” in visceral detail.
Memes are ideologies distilled, repackaged, and ready for viral
distribution. The internet is something of an AI: a communication
network operating as its own sovereign entity. Social media platforms,
and other communications technologies accelerate the flow of ideas,
bypassing restrictions put in place by traditional media.
A journalist in New York may engage with a senator in Washington over
Twitter. A misguided 17-year old from Wisconsin who received their
political education from /Pol, Breitbart, or Reddit can also join that same
dialogue, and disrupt it. This is the best case scenario, unfortunately.
Ideology is a memetic virus. Memes are an insurgent medium. The
internet is an insurgent technology.
“The spectacle presents itself simultaneously as all of society, as part of society, and as
instrument of unification. As a part of society it is specifically the sector which
concentrates all gazing and all consciousness. Due to the very fact that this sector is
separate, it is the common ground of the deceived gaze and of false consciousness, and
the unification it achieves is nothing but an official language of generalized separation.
The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated
by images.” —Guy Debord, “Society of the Spectacle”, (1967)
What is xenofeminism?
Xenofeminism is a form of Left-Accelerationism and, by extension, can
be read as AltWoke’s answer to identity politics. Or, more accurately, it
critiques liberal “privilege”-based identity politics and re-situates Left
“critical theory”-based identity politics into a technological framework.
Innovation is a consequence of capitalism’s growth, hence it’s
irresponsible not to recognize how power operates not only through
structures like capitalism, but also its incarnations like racism,
colonialism, and heteronormativity.
When looking at history, it’s imperative to ask questions about how
technology changes and affects the ways in which people communicate,
disseminate, and process information. This should always be taken into
consideration from an intersectional frame of reference.
AltWoke isn’t opposed to identity politics so much as it’s opposed to
reductionist, two-dimensional, representation as the crux of liberal
identity politics. This mode of thinking lacks nuance and oftentimes
devolves into inconsequential arguments over single phrases and who
gets to participate. Bad politics comes in all forms of representation.
Hegemony operates in such a way that it permeates every aspect of social
life in late capitalism, yet this isn’t always apparent — its existence must
be revealed. Culture’s more dubious incarnation tells society who is and
isn’t worthy of praise, admiration, and, ultimately, life. The White Man™
is still the dominant conduit through which capitalism operates.
However, there’s a cultural shift happening that is impossible to deny.
The chauvinism of Western exceptionalism, essentialism, and the central
cornerstone, “whiteness” are sociopoitical dead ends. It confines itself
within impossible paradigms, even while, nonwhite, non-Western, nonbinary identities are accelerating the process. The West crumbles as China
accelerates toward superpower status. It’s no coincidence that pop music
is now synonymous with R&B. Hip hop, techno, house, and footwork
bridge the gap between the avant garde and pop by accelerating language,
http://tripleampersand.org/alt-woke-manifesto/[9/22/2017 11:28:34 PM]
#AltWoke Manifesto - &&& Journal&&& Journal
form, timbre, and aesthetics to alien plateaus.
Is it any wonder why “cuckold” is the Alt-Right’s pejorative of choice?
The old guard justifies oppression and inequality as immutable and
“natural.” The deviant Other threatens this “natural” hierarchy. The
normalization of deviance is the ultimate culture-jam. Cuckoldry is
deviant, and deviance is the vanguard. #BlackPopMatters.
Why embrace and reappropriate globalism?
AltWoke perceives the “nation” as an information network and citizen –>
user. The governance structure of the internet creates the subjectivity of
power, the user, in the same fashion as the invention of the state created
the subjectivity of citizens. Global scale computation has built a new
governing rhizomatic architecture. All systems have integrated into
platform stacks, and by extension, nations and governments are but
another component in the Internet of Things (IoT).
People should be allowed in all physical spaces as a fundamental right.
Politics has nothing to do with physical territory. AltWoke
accelerationism fully separated land from politics once it realized that
political groupings are aspatial networks: informational, cybernetic.
The old paradigm was political grouping by blood, land, and then
language. These were all networks. Cyberspace is an artificial network
same as blood, land, and language. It’s better, too, as it is instantaneous.
Those who hold politics to be the defense of land, nation, ethnicity, or
linguistics are the old-guard; they are demonstrably incorrect and stand
between people and their liberty.
“Geology is sensible of itself in so much as it has an ordering logic, if it is articulate in
its stratifications, reading pebbles, rocks, various kinds of matter, sorting, organizing
(Roger Caillois calls this agency ‘computational’), folding, compacting the biological
slime of the earth into its various layers.” Kathryn Yusoff, “Anthropogenesis:
Origins and Endings in the Anthropocene” (2015)
The American nation was formed by the economic activities of the
thirteen colonies as they functioned with common standards, such as
shipping timetables and commercial infrastructure, developing into a
consciousness of togetherness and assumed similarity between
participants in the network.
Nations are coextensive with land, not that the land has ties to blood or
biology (the misstep of historical fascism and contemporary nationalism,
to glorify the soil) but the physical geography of land determined the
networks superimposed over it.
Europe, for example, has for so long been balkanized into nationalities
and peoples separated by mountain ranges, seas, and long distances, and
brought together by modifications to this physical geography (see: Spain’s
hegemony over Europe and its fantastic road system prior to 1648).
Now, pan-Europeanism burgeons on the fact that highway systems,
shipping, and a porousness of state borders has reduced or annihilated
these impediments to a common access to the European network. It fails
because it does not see that the same forces that drive Pan-Europeanism
point towards a global society.
The separation of the information network from place thus reduces the
determination of place upon network, of place upon user, of place upon
that user’s conception of themselves interacting with others, to the point
that in a globalized world the user will interact with their physical
neighbor in the same network as they will interact with someone in a
different (city/state/nation/region), such that planetary consciousness
necessarily forms.
Why is #AltWoke amoral?
Short answer: Politics is amoral. Long answer: As it stands, the political
infrastructures of Western governments are collapsing. The Right
http://tripleampersand.org/alt-woke-manifesto/[9/22/2017 11:28:34 PM]
#AltWoke Manifesto - &&& Journal&&& Journal
solidified its stranglehold on structural power. Right Accelerationism is
several steps ahead of its Leftist counterpart.
In America, the GOP is imploding and the Alt-Right is slowly replacing
this obsolete party. The Right is vulgar, so we’ll stop taking the moral
high road and be even fouler. The Left has no structural power, and the
stakes are far too high. We truly stand to lose everything.
Traditional means of Left praxis are ineffectual against this ascendant
superstructure. Asking that every individual respect the humanity of
ethnic, racial, and sexual minorities is naive. It will take more deceptive
and subversive methods for the political Left to affect any change. #AltWoke praxis is, if anything, a reappropriation of Vladislav Surkov’s idea of
‘nonlinear warfare.’ We don’t fight fair. We won’t be civil. We don’t resist
power, we seize it.
3. Praxis
The question of AltWoke Praxis is also the question of LeftAccelerationist Praxis: How does one organize politically? AltWoke Praxis
has two modal structures: Right Hand Praxis & Left Hand Praxis. Or,
The Hand That Strikes & The Hand That Repurposes. RHP takes
advantage of the cracks within the Alt-Right, disrupting any roadblocks
to clear a path so LHP can shift the Overton Window. LHP repurposes
existing technologies, networks, and power structures to initiate a
counter-hegemony. LHP advances AltWoke’s core tenets without ever
explicitly espousing as such. Privacy is crucial to Left Hand Praxis, so it
won’t be listed, but appropriating multinational corporate identity is a
crucial first step.
Right Hand Praxis
Alt-Right countersurveillance. Invade their spaces, disrupt their safe
space. Break out of your filter bubble, learn their language. Learn who
they are, and what they believe. Befriend them only to spy on them. Dox
the doxers.
Exploit the right’s paranoia and affinity towards pseudoscience. If they
believe that supplements will boost their testosterone or tin foil nets
disrupt phone signals, exploit that market.
Direct action hacktivism. Penetrate the SEO. Make #altwoke viral.
Twitter bot agit prop.
Appropriate post-fact culture. Conspiracy theories are memetically
powerful. The Left does itself a disservice by not making its own. Speak
their language to make it compelling: “Peter Thiel is a member of the
Bilderberg Group!”
Exploit their contradictions: Human biodiversity is incompatible with
Traditionalist Catholics. White nationalists think Identitarians are
ineffectual Third Positionists. Drive them further into their own filter
bubbles and out of voting booths.
Agitate Leftist demonstrations. The more the Woke, horizontal Left
marches, the better. It takes any potential attention away from Left Hand
Praxis.
