Document Summary

Intro: the alternative lies in the unfinished, of what is not yet fully existing the finished alternative is then finished in a double sense of the word. If correct, this view has consequences for political life. If any attempt to change the existing order into something finished, its destined to fail thinking of change in terms of structure: abolition is the new point of departure. Which is in fact woven into or integrated into the old system, 2. Fully formed message this is a message that brings in nothing new: remaining possibility 1. Intergraded and fully formed but the alternative is also omitted: 1. Either the deviant is rejected as non-competing 2. Or we introduce something, which is fictitiously deviant or 3.
