Abstract

In attempting to qualify the age we live in, I shall resort to a barbarism: global-statalitarian imperialism. Imperialism refers to the principal component which, in order to achieve a more radical realisation of its telos, enlists the support of a global-statalitarian dimension that is essentially hidden. Statalitarian point to a long-term tendency which, though still embryonic, is beginning to resonate through our world. The term refers to the State, though not to any asual conception of the social-democratic State or the liberal State of the rule of law. The refenrece is rather to a class-hegemonic State, with an echoing of the term totalitarian. Global indicates that what is involved is a single statist configuration, encompassing a territory coextensive with the entire planet, a population which is humanity, and a mastery of all material and cultural wealth appropriable according to the law of profit.
