The means of the weapon of heart are bodies in seduction; its ends are souls in subjection. If the goal of war generally is the destruction of the enemy’s forces, then the goal of this war is the destruction of the ruling class, internally. The task is to negate their hearts. Not only for-itself, but in-itself.
— “The Heart of War,” (In Q.libet’s upcoming essay “The Heart of War,” a form of combat dubbed “heartwar” is theorized. […] Imagine if, rather than merely taking money from elites for a job well done, Chelsea’s character, alongside others, practiced the same destructive love we practice with each other, ambitiously. Collective emotional strikes, either through disruptions of the normal structure of the family and escorts, or through a refusal to do care labor, can cause rifts that would stretch out in their affects. One can imagine making demands, or just expropriating and making attacks. A well situated group of escorts can gain access to far more resources and capital then currently situated insurgents in the anarchist milieu. Escorts can find common desire with other sex workers or care workers. The beautiful can go on strike against being beautiful—become disfigured. The streetwalkers can do being-in-love with entire police precincts. The entire industry of care and desire, can go on strike against their very being. Human strike after human strike.) (via beetx)
