notes from his post:
Where Debord analysed and criticised, Vaneigem moved on to proposition: only by reclaiming the immediacy and agency of daily life as the space of creation of social relations, he suggested – by wresting these away from the reified and spectacular re-enactments of roles through the determined creation of ‘situations’ – encounters within which people find it impossible to play the parts which their society has prefigured for them – could we break free of stultifying and deathly grip of the relentless dollar maximiser that is developed capitalism (see also).
‘encounters within which people find it impossible to play the parts which their society has prefigured for them’
‘What I am calling for here is the need to take these troublesome issues so seriously that we understand how deeply we are required to re-engineer the social relations which reproduce them in order to fabricate equitable, just and sane societies.’
so serious/deep.. perhaps we don’t even say ‘re engineer’ social relations.. to me that’s still a form of m\a\p.. need un engineered relations.. the dance of an undisturbed ecosystem

Left and right are part of a two- dimensional map that is disastrously reductive of the design space for civilisation. It pits ppl against each other who share much, and leg-shackles ppl who share little. We need to step out, step up, transcend. /ends.

Hence, imnsho, the violence of the attacks. My position? We need to transcend the system. It’s screwed. Its premises are not fit for purpose, it’s institutions are monstrous hybrids of happenstance mediaeval experiments. We have to grow up, and grow out of this. 5/-
.. threaten their sense of self (which depends upon the false consciousness of their delusion that they seek to overthrow the system). Threatening someone’s sense of self is far more dangerous than challenging their social position (how conservatives experience the left). 4/-

The ‘left’ is an implicated and necessary part of the system. Also understandable through the cybernetic Viable System Model as System 4 – the learning network. The left’s job is to help me system see how to get better at what it does. Unfortunately for itself, the left.. 1/-
