How and why do groups organise themselves? Must we? Or rather. How and why must we organise ourselves? What we? The we that has no part. In participation. What does this mean? To ‘deal in the promise of groups and togetherness’. Not the we’re-all-in-this-together. But the contention that this wrong exactly marks our disagreement. ‘How to live together’? Here’s an idea. Don’t. Call the police. At stake. A subtraction. Both potential and problematics. A radical democracy. Being placed together and in-common. A nothing in common. The we without. Speech. Voice. Forming a declaration of wants, desires, intended acts, political claims. Etc. Attempting. A community of equals. A do-good bunch. Our naïveté. Calling. By any means necessary. A possible and fragmentary plurality. A potentially egalitarian collectivity. Working and unworking a contested common ground. Calling for what. What’s ‘our research’? A freedom of assembly. Free association as the precondition of politics itself. A performative exercise. In actu. Call the police! A joint enterprise at play. In struggle. Enough. Who we? We Them. We popular politics risking ever-denounced so-called populism. Not to be found. A fragile collectivity. What post-utopia happiness. Our militancy. Our insurgency-at-work. Drawing out. Precariously demonstrating. Other ways of speaking. Fearlessly. Enacting in horizontal-connection. The articulations of self-designation. Self-constitution. In resistance. Solidarity. Our so-called critical models. Or perhaps simply. Just what is it to participate and to have a common interaction with others? Please. We call on you.
