The key witness that our societies are clearly in-human is today the #undocumented #foreign #proletarian: he is the mark, immanent to our situation, that there is only one world. Treating the foreign proletarian as coming from another world, voila the specific task assigned to the “minister of national identity”, who disposes of his own police force (border police). To affirm, against such a statist operation, that any undocumented worker is from the same world as oneself, and to work through the practical, egalitarian, and militant consequences, voila, an example-type of provisional #morality, a local orientation homogeneous to the #communist hypothesis in the global disorientation in which solely its restoration can ward of.
