''So long as community always attests to a constituent body, it attests to the carnage that keeps it firmly intelligible. As Benjamin wrote in his misunderstood theses, there are no documents of civilization which are not also promissory notes of interminable butchery.

There can be no common if there is still the sacred and the profane, still the sovereign subject of reason and the terrorizing madman beside him. The conditions that render the human “capable” of politics are the same conditions that render the human always in the midst of a lurking incapacity. The Multitude gives abnormality its name and position of exception again, and again. Under this condition there is only a proliferation of the stockades of humanity and disciplines that testify to their supposed necessity''.
