La joie s’arme. Son attaque est le dépassement de l’hallucination marchande, de la machine et de la marchandise, de la vengeance et du leader, du parti et de la quantité. Sa lutte brise la ligne tracée par la logique du profit, l’architecture du marché, le sens programmé de la vie, le document final de l’archive. Son explosion bouleverse l’ordre des dépendances, la nomenclature du positif et du négatif, la loi de l’illusion marchande. Ce texte a été écrit dans le contexte tendu de la vague révolutionnaire italienne des années 70. Alfredo M. Bonanno y attaque avec virulence la soi-disant mission historique du parti communiste. Opposant à la spécialisation militaire des Brigade Rouges, il militera au contraire pour un insurectionalisme assumé et généralisé à l’ensemble du mouvement social.

>Non è possibile considerare il problema dell'autogestione come qualcosa di esclusivamente tecnico, legato soltanto alla realtà di fabbrica o alla situazione produttiva delle campagne. Per questo motivo non è facile stendere un'analisi che possa risultare accettabile per lunghi periodi, proprio perchè non solo si modificano le situazioni produttive, ma si modificano le strategie rivoluzionarie a seguito degli accorgimenti adottati dal capitale per realizzare lo sfruttamento. - introduzione (& back cover)
