โThis is a text about the we. Who do we think we are? How do we understand what we are doing? Naturally, we do not mean only the โweโ that produces this journal but a wider we whose boundary remains unspecified.โ

"17 Theses on Communism" by B.L. of TC. Republished by @endnotesjournal on the event of B.L.'s passing several years ago. One of the strangest, most provocative, and brilliant texts of the communization tendency.
"After the communist revolution there is no more society.
The Occupy movement led to university sit-ins, occupations, and encampments. Much has been written on the topic, and one could say we are now in the post-post-Occupy era.

"This essay examines the antinomy of class struggle: while capital accumulates by exploiting wage labor, the reproduction of wage labor reproduces the conditions of exploitation that propel the accumulation of capital."
Many of Thรฉorie Communiste's texts remain untranslated into English. Some texts are available on @libcomorg. However, the best source for TC texts is undoubtedly the Thรฉorie Communiste Reader, available at cooltexts (dot) github (dot) io.

This text, newly translated and published by Endnotes last year, contains both the brilliance of Jacques Camatte and some concepts, in embryo, that would lead to the decay of his thought.
