A pamphlet published in 1966 at the University of Strasbourg by students of the university and members of the Internationale Situationniste. It’s a scathing critique of student life and politics.
Here’s a choice quote from their proposed remedy of Workers’ Councils: “The market has one central principle—the loss of self in the aimless and unconscious creation of a world beyond the control of its creators. The revolutionary core of autogestion is the attack on this principle. Autogestion is conscious direction by all of their whole existence. It is not some vision of a workers’ control of the market, which is merely to choose one’s own alienation, to program one’s own survival (squaring the capitalist circle). The task of the Workers’ Councils will not be the autogestion of the world which exists, but its continual qualitative transformation. The commodity and its laws (that vast detour in the history of man’s production of him-self) will be superseded by a new social form.”
