Article 27: Algorithmic politics.

By Eugenio Tisselli.

Eugenio Tisselli shares his thoughts on global, financial 
dictatorship and Necrocapitalism, where politics itself is reduced to 
market related executables based on algorithms of finance.

"The global financial dictatorship presents us with a paradox: while 
the economic transactions capable of shifting the destinies of entire 
countries are the result of performative language, it is language 
itself that, in turn, is transformed and subjected by the flows of 
financial markets. Such a paradox may be understood as a negative 
feedback loop: a relational process in which one of the actors of the 
relationship is amplified and expanded (the economy) while the other 
is weakened and submitted (language). The effects of this paradoxical 
feedback loop on politics are evident and clear: the linguistic 
exchange which feeds the public sphere, and therefore the possibility 
of thinking about the democratic organization of society, diminishes 
and becomes neutralized because of its submission to the market, up 
to the point of canceling politics itself."
