'The Coming Insurrection' is a provocative manifesto penned by the enigmatic collective known as The Invisible Committee, which surfaced in France in 2007. This radical leftist treatise diagnoses contemporary society as deeply afflicted by the malaises of capitalism, alienation, and pervasive surveillance, arguing that the fabric of modern life is leading inexorably towards societal collapse. Through a compelling blend of critical theory and urgent polemic, the manifesto calls for a comprehensive insurrection against the existing order. It champions the formation of autonomous communes, the subversion of state mechanisms, and the rejection of traditional political and social structures as pathways to liberation. The text, notorious for its incendiary tone and its advocacy for direct action, has ignited significant debate, admiration, and criticism, marking it as a seminal work in radical political thought.
The Coming Insurrection is an eloquent call to arms arising from the recent waves of social contestation in France and Europe. Written by the anonymous Invisible Committee in the vein of Guy Debord - and with comparable elegance - it has been proclaimed a manual for terrorism by the French government (who recently arrested its alleged authors). One of its members more adequately described the group as "the name given to a collective voice bent on denouncing contemporary cynicism and reality".

One of its members more adequately described the group as "the name given to a collective voice bent on denouncing contemporary cynicism and reality." The Coming Insurrection is a strategic prescription for an emergent war-machine to "spread anarchy and live communism." Written in the wake of the riots that erupted throughout the Paris suburbs in the fall of 2005 and presaging more recent riots and general strikes in France and Greece, The Coming Insurrection articulates a rejection of the official Left and its reformist agenda, aligning itself instead with the younger, wilder forms of resistance that have emerged in Europe around recent struggles against immigration control and the "war on terror." Hot-wired to the movement of '77 in Italy, its preferred historical reference point, The Coming Insurrection formulates an ethics that takes as its starting point theft, sabotage, the refusal to work, and the elaboration of collective, self-organized forms-of-life. It is a philosophical statement that addresses the growing number of those - in France, in the United States, and elsewhere - who refuse the idea that theory, politics, and life are separate realms.
