Tomorrowwe continue in Endnotes #4, with three parts of the long central essay, "A History of Separation" "Preface" https://endnotes.org.uk/issues/4/en/endnotes-preface "Construction" https://endnotes.org.uk//endnotes-the-construction-of-the- "Infrastructure" https://endnotes.org.uk//endnotes-the-infrastructure-of-th... In "A history of separation" the collective "reconsider[s] in depth the long emergence and dissolution of an affirmable worker’s identity (and, with it, the crisis of the Left). European socialists and communists had expected the accumulation of capital both to expand the size of the industrial workforce and, at the same time, to unify the workers as a social subject: the collective worker, the class in-and-for itself. However, instead of incubating the collective worker, capitalist accumulation gave birth to the separated society. The forces of atomisation overpowered those of collectivisation. Late capitalist civilisation is now destabilising, but without, as yet, calling forth the new social forces that might be able, finally, to dissolve it."

This week we conclude Endnotes #3, before moving on to Endnotes #4, the last issue to date. We will read "Spontaneity, Mediation, Rupture"which asks, "How can we recover the key concepts of revolutionary theory today, that is, after the end of the workers' movement? We offer the following reflections on three concepts spontaneity, mediation, rupture as an attempt to re-fashion the core of revolutionary theory, for our times." https://endnotes.org.uk//endnotes-spontaneity-mediation-ru
