"Ventil Rassismus? NO Racism!" Discussion on collective political practices

The recent analysis is informing us that the subjugation of the self i.e. of
the subject or human being has become the subjugation of the self to the
extreme degree i.e. extreme subjectification that imposes extreme passivity
and individualism (Borcila & Nae). The self is seen in its co-dependence on
the long history of capitalism. Racism is tolerated as some kind of social
mechanism that compensate for other pressures imposed upon societies. Thus,
racism is conceptualized as regulator (ventil) necessary for the "normal"
wellbeing of societies. On the other hand, capitalist structures are
imposing control, fragmentization, individualization and particularization
through identity politics. Subjects are uniting on the basis of the fiction
of ethnicity, nation, etc. Therefore, struggles focus on gaining one more
right for one specific group within the system that functions through the
rule of non-rights as complement of rights, system that is excluding while
including. Structural issues related to capitalism that is based on
exploitation and functions through construction of race (besides other
mechanisms) are not taken in consideration. In order to intervene in such
frame, we would like to discuss different proposals or forms of
organization: from self-organization to extreme-organization conceptualized
because, as said, due to the extreme subjectification by capital today, the
concept of self organization is becoming less and less able to account for
the radical political intervention within/against the global neo-liberal
capitalist order (Grzinic). Furthermore, we want to discuss what kind of
strategies and analysis we need today.

The panel discussion is part of the project "AG Migration und Antirassismus
SOHO Projekt" initiated by AG Migration and Anti-racism that was constituted
within the university protests in Vienna 2009/2010. **
