Jacques Ellul: The necessary revolution

From Autonomies

Anarchists are prone to political idol worship. Though by no means exclusive to anarchists, their/our susceptibility to them does ill. The agitation of a demonstration that develops into a riot; isolated individual and/or collective gestures of rebellion; the riot or the insurrection that promises revolution; the missing philosophy or ideological expression that will make sense of it all; the revelation of the absent revolutionary subject; the creation of the properly radical organisation; revolutions past: each carries a power of seduction and each taken as privileged renders us blind to the uncertainty and contingency of events.
