This World We Must Leave and Other Essays Quotes

“All human life, from the very beginning of its development within capitalist society, has undergone an impoverishment. More than this, capitalist society is death organized with all the appearances of life. Here it is not a question of death as the extinction of life, but death-in-life, death with all the substance of power of life. The human being is dead and is no more than a ritual of capital.”
― Jacques Camatte, This World We Must Leave and Other Essays

“The autonomy of form affects all aspects of life dominated by capital. Knowledge is valid only if it is formalized, if it is emptied of content. Absolute knowledge is tautology realized; it is dead form deployed over all knowledge. Science is its systemization; epistemology is its redundancy.”
― Jacques Camatte, This World We Must Leave and Other Essays
