If war necessarily results, it is because the war machine collides with States and cities, as forces opposing its positive object: from then on, the war machine has as its enemy the State, the city, the state and urban phenomenon, and adopts as its objective their annihilation. It is at this point that the war machine becomes war: annihilate the forces of the state, destroy the state-form. - Deleuze and Guattari, .."A Thousand Plateaus.." ~ We are at war with one another; a battlefront runs through the whole of society, continuously and permanently, and it is this battlefront that puts us all on one side or the other. There is no such thing as a neutral subject. We are all inevitably someone..'s adversary. - Michel Foucault, .."Society Must be Defended.."

Radical intellectuals explore the relationship between research and resistance.
What is the relationship of radical theory to movements for social change? In a world where more and more global struggles are refusing vanguard parties and authoritarian practices, does the idea of the detached intellectual, observing events from on high, make sense anymore? In this powerful and unabashedly militant collection, over two dozen academic authors and engaged intellectuals—including Antonio Negri and Colectivo Situaciones—provide some challenging answers. In the process, they redefine the nature of intellectual practice itself.
Check out this new collection on AK Press in which Team Colors members Craig Hughes and Kevin Van Meter have a contribution written along with their good friend and co-author Ben Holtzman:
Do It Yourself . . . and the Movement Beyond Capitalism
