"Par le rapide perfectionnement des instruments de production et l'amelioration infinie des moyens de communication, la bourgeoisie entraine dans le courant de la civilisation jusqu'aux nations les plus barbares. Le bon marche de ses produits est la grosse artillerie qui bat en breche toutes les murailles de Chine et contraint a la capitulation les barbares les plus opiniatrement hostiles aux etrangers. Sous peine de mort, elle force toutes les nations a adopter le mode bourgeois de production; elle les force a introduire chez elle la pretendue civilisation, c'est-a-dire a devenir...

"Die Bourgeoisie reit durch die rasche Verbesserung aller Produktionsinstrumente, durch die unendlich erleichterten Kommunikationen alle, auch die barbarischsten Nationen in die Zivilisation. Die wohlfeilen Preise ihrer Waren sind die schwere Artillerie, mit der sie alle chinesischen Mauern in den Grund schiet, mit der sie den hartnackigsten Fremdenha der Barbaren zur Kapitulation zwingt. Sie zwingt alle Nationen, die Produktionsweise der Bourgeoisie sich anzueignen, wenn sie nicht zugrunde gehn wollen; sie zwingt sie, die sogenannte Zivilisation bei sich selbst einzufuhren, d.h. Bourgeois zu...

"La burguesia, con el rapido perfeccionamiento de todos los medios de produccion, con las facilidades increibles de su red de comunicaciones, lleva la civilizacion hasta a las naciones mas salvajes. El bajo precio de sus mercancias es la artilleria pesada con la que derrumba todas las murallas de la China, con la que obliga a capitular a las tribus barbaras mas ariscas en su odio contra el extranjero. Obliga a todas las naciones a abrazar el regimen de produccion de la burguesia o perecer; las obliga a implantar en su propio seno la llamada civilizacion, es decir, a hacerse burguesas. Crea un...

Security has reached an analytic blockage. The more security seems post-political, post-social, or even post-modern the more it escapes analytic scrutiny. The more security attaches itself to innumerable social relationships the more it becomes the very glue that binds social reality. Social problems become security problems while projects of pacification continue to be legitimized under the rubric of security. To be against security today is to stand against the entire global economic system. If security has become the dominant, perhaps impenetrable concept of our times, then we must start...

"OWING TO THE EXTENSIVE USE OF MACHINERY, AND TO THE DIVISION OF LABOUR, THE WORK OF THE PROLETARIANS HAS LOST ALL INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER, AND, CONSEQUENTLY, ALL CHARM FOR THE WORKMAN. HE BECOMES AN APPENDAGE OF THE MACHINE, AND IT IS ONLY THE MOST SIMPLE, MOST MONOTONOUS, AND MOST EASILY ACQUIRED KNACK, THAT IS REQUIRED OF HIM.
AS THE REPULSIVENESS OF THE WORK INCREASES, THE WAGE DECREASES. NAY MORE, IN PROPORTION AS THE USE OF MACHINERY AND DIVISION OF LABOUR INCREASES, IN THE SAME PROPORTION THE BURDEN OF TOIL ALSO INCREASES..."

A radical social theory of the security-industrial complex, showing how pacification underpins the global economic system What is security, and what is its relationship to capitalism? George S. Rigakos' explosive sociological treatise charts the rise of the security-industrial complex. Starting from a critical appraisal of 'productive labour' in the works of Karl Marx and Adam Smith, Rigakos builds a conceptual model of pacification based on practices of dispossession, exploitation and the fetish of security commodities. Rigakos argues that a defining characteristic of the global...

What is security, and what is its relationship to capitalism? George S. Rigakos' explosive treatise charts the rise of the security-industrial complex. Starting from a critical appraisal of 'productive labour' in the works of Karl Marx and Adam Smith, Rigakos builds a conceptual model of pacification based on practices of dispossession, exploitation and the fetish of security commodities. Rigakos argues that a defining characteristic of the global economic system is its ability to productively sell (in)security to those it makes insecure. Materially and ideologically, the security-industrial...
