The Anti-Security Collective

The Anti-security collective is a loose network of scholars and activists committed to a radical critique of police power, taking on both the material and ideological hegemony of security under capital.

About

Since 2010, a shifting group of scholars and activists have met under the name the “anti-security collective” to develop a critique of security as a process of fabricating capitalist social order.

The Security Abolition Manifesto

Security is the monstrous idea that we are alone and locked into competition over scarce resources, that private property is a natural right, that we need to protect our island of private life against the threat of others, and that we must submit to authority to do so. Security demands we look up and submit to the Leviathan, rather than look across in solidarity to our fellow beings on this planet, human and otherwise. Security tells us that we are obstacles to each other’s freedom, rather than the realization of it. This is a manifesto for security abolition.
