Popular Defense & Ecological Struggles
The book by philosopher Paul Virilio aims to answer the questions: What is popular defense? From whom do we have to defend ourselves? The author observes and analyses the shift from wars with “ramparts and fortifications” to contemporary total war and argues that industrial wars subsequently managed to replace the thousand‑year‑old pact of semi‑colonization with total colonization. First experimented with in South America, this kind of “endo‑colonization” (the military cracking down on its own population) was gradually extended to all the post‑industrial countries through the exponential development of the techno‑military complex.
