The talk everywhere is of breathing and oxygen. As the air in towns and cities grows less polluted, so doctors and nurses in hospital intensive care units are fighting every day to prevent the sick from dying of asphyxia. After everything that has happened, breathing should no longer be a given.
But, taking a closer look, the harm that’s on the way has already been here. One had to be blind not to see the catastrophe lurking around the corner, not to recognise the malign swiftness of the capitalism that is now wrapping us in its devastating, asphyxial spiral.
As the laissez-fair model has gradually imposed itself, so needs and demands for immunity, the separation between the closed sphere of the western world – where the system of capital, technology and comfort has been built – and the boundless hinterland of poverty – the planet’s peripheries of despair and desolation – have increased. It is “phobocracy”, rule founded on fear, that characterises present-day sovereignism: it plays on a dread of the other, alarm for anything coming in from the outside, worries about precariousness, and the desire to be immune from them.
But the virus that gets away, that evades, that crosses borders becomes the metaphor of an ungovernable crisis, and precisely this ungovernability arguably still leaves us some hope. It is precisely this sovereign virus that bypasses boundaries that reveals the limits of sovereignism and tells us that, all forms of phobocratic governance apart, without solidarity among peoples the catastrophe could be enormous.
