Agamben: From the State of Control to a Praxis of Destituent Power | ROAR Magazine

"The relationship between the state and its citizens today is defined by
suspicion, policing and control. The unspoken principle ruling our
society is that every citizen is a potential terrorist. But what is a
state ruled by such a principle? Can we still define it as democratic?
Can we even consider it as something political?"

Faced with absolute state
control and the rapid eradication of political society, only a theory
and praxis of destituent power can reclaim democracy.
