Synthetic Fabrication The Myth of the Politics-to-Come (Part 0 Introduction)
"Synthetic Fabrication The Myth of the Politics-to-Come (Part 0 Introduction)" routes capital through finance, infrastructure, or modernity-writing to show how abstract systems rewrite historical time.
Archive condition
The page uses the canonical extracted text as its reading layer while preserving the original file paths as the archival source of record.
Core idea
These texts describe modernity as a field governed by capitalized abstraction, infrastructural redesign, and the pressures of finance. Historical time becomes inseparable from technical and monetary process.
They work by connecting money, architecture, infrastructure, and world-order narratives to a broader picture of runaway modernization. Finance is treated as a driver of temporal and social reformatting.
That matters because the section is trying to surface the archive's most concrete routes into abstraction. Capital becomes visible here through circuits of money, urban form, and historical reorganization.
How to read this text
Read for the material carriers of abstraction first: finance, architecture, protocol, or infrastructure. Those details keep the page from becoming a loose metaphor of speed.
Watch how the text narrates historical time under pressure from capitalized systems. That is where the section's larger stakes come into view.

It unleashes radical energies in the volleys of a deterritorialization that is only relative, as it becomes subjected to a subsequent and compensatory reterritorialization.

Although the orgy might not be over for Deleuze and Guattari, the irreversible supremacy of a globalized megamachine is a concern that can be tracked across their whole output, particularly in the two volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia.
