Capitalism is an immense machine for churning out surplus life. Its long war of enclosure has captured, controlled, and pauperised human life, and laid waste to nonhuman life. This paper argues that surplus populations—people rendered as economically redundant—are central to the future politics of our planet. Yet the ruling classes still fight to preserve capitalism in all its horror: “you must work, even if there are no jobs!” How we diagnose this dilemma is a vital task of our age. We respond with a beyond-capitalist politics that challenges centuries of capitalist world-alienation, pauperism, and indignity. We present a radical alternative, centred on the interlocking ideas of alter-worlds, alter-work, and alter-politics. Each is based on building, sustaining, and connecting new spaces of geographic justice and autonomy for all. We must make the end of capitalism easier to imagine than the end of the world.

过剩生命的星球:建立超越资本主义的世界

资本主义是生产过剩生活的巨大机器。其长期的圈地战争俘获、控制和剥夺了人类的生命,并使非人类的生命变得荒芜。这篇论文认为,过剩人口——人们在经济上变得多余——是我们星球未来政治的核心。然而,统治阶级仍在为维护资本主义的恐怖而斗争:“即使没有工作,你也必须工作!“我们如何诊断这种困境是我们这个时代的一项重要任务。我们以超越资本主义的政治作为回应,挑战几个世纪以来资本主义世界的异化、贫困和侮辱。我们提出了一个激进的替代方案,以异世界异工作异政治的互锁思想为中心。. 每一个都基于为所有人建立、维持和连接地理正义和自治的新空间。我们必须让资本主义的末日比世界末日更容易想象。
