The Gamification of Proletarian Struggle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In our historical perspective, play \u2014 the constant experimentation with ludic innovations \u2014 only comes into being alongside ethics and questions of life\u2019s meaning. The only success which we can appreciate in play is the immediate success of its ambience, and the constant increase of its powers. In its present co-existence with the residues of the phase of decline, play cannot completely free itself from a competitive aspect, it must at least aim to provoke conditions favourable to living directly. In this sense it is still both a struggle and a representation: a struggle for a life measured by desire, and a concrete representation of such a life. – Internationale Situationniste #1.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
