The Augustinian Left, instead, operates through alterity without difference. If alterity is required, but difference is penalized and suppressed, the only strategic option is to maximize the former while minimizing the latter. Any other approach is doomed to remain stuck in the status quo or be countered by the environment. A new system is born when you can afford to operate according to a new logic while completely disregarding the old. You operate as if your system is already hegemonic.
The mechanism of recognition is fundamentally different from the Manichean Left, in which peers are recognized by their statements, their values, their morals, or more often than not, by their aesthetics. For the Augustinian Left, the test is post-hoc: you’re part of it based on the impact you have on the world. What you declare about yourself, what you state about yourself, and what you do are instruments to perturbate the psychoinformational sphere, but they should never be taken at face value. In the Augustinian Left, we recognize each other experientially: real recognizes real. At the same time, disguising yourself in front of society, in front of the Manichean Left, and in front of reactionary powers is fundamental to being able to operate effectively and maintain your alterity, which is ultimately what enables you to create Change.
Just parsing through your words.
