The interruption or sabotage of the infrastructure of mobilisation are the other side of The Coming Insurrection's conception of communes not as enclaves for beautiful souls, but as experiences through which to develop the collective organs to both foster and endure the crisis of present, and to do so in a fashion that does not sever means from ends. The book's catastrophic optimism lies in advocating that interruption is somehow generative of anti-capitalist collectivity (rather than passing irritation or mass reaction). It is also founded on a repudiation of the inauthenticity of massively mediated, separated and atomised lives in the metropolis.
