For a lesser writer, or one who had not taught me how to think about spectacle and empire or one who had not thought to complain about this allegedly no future left not once but three times, I might drop this interrogation. But Palestine answers every question that Clark poses. Clark complains about leftist writers in the introduction by asking, “Who thinks they connect to our current cruelties with anything of the urgency of a Frantz Fanon, a Rosa Luxemburg or a Georges Sorel?” How have we ended up in a situation where I am telling you about Bassel al-Araj and Walid Daqqa and Ghassan Kanafani but Clark isn’t? Clark has written about potential pathways for internationalism, and I would propose looking to an Arab formation—you can start by reading Mary Turfah and Max Ajl and Mohammed El-Kurd. Situationism was a firmly European intervention that may have outlived its utility. Or maybe Clark imagined that empire would be dismantled by imperialists. {read}
