ABSTRACT
Self-management carried out by migrants and squatters means building political subjects that create a dissensus, 'a dispute about what is given, about the frame within which we see something as given'. The issue with squatting, and migrant squatting even more so, is that these experiences are carried out autonomously based on self-management, with the result of rejecting securitized humanitarianism and destabilizing notions of inclusion and exclusion that need to be constantly updated to hide the vested class privileges behind the convergence of security, police, social welfare and migration policies. It would be politically dangerous to see such contradictions as representing insurmountable obstacles to develop the foundations for societies that dismantle oppression mechanisms. In fact, we build radical autonomy projects on the possibility of self-management of our lives when we consciously address the mechanisms of the reproduction of power privileges in order to disarticulate them.
