Agamben

In the modern era, misery and exclusion are not only economic or social concepts but eminently political categories (all the economism and "socialism" that seem to dominate modern politics actually have a political - and even a biopolitical - significance). In this sense, our age is nothing but the implacable and methodical attempt to overcome the division dividing the people, to eliminate radically the people that are excluded.
