ABSTRACT
This text is an assay to articulate the basis for a global manifesto. It concerns the most broadly defined political subject in human history – even broader than the proletarian (or, for that matter, the precarian, as the precarious worker could be named). Although defined broadly, universally, this political subject is not abstract, because it has a very concrete ground. It is this concrete ground that subjects negatively identify as something in common, as their commons. Today, the most all-encompassing common in human history is being formed, uniting a major number of particulars over the threat to life by the techno-oligarchy of the elites and the environmental catastrophe. This manifesto seeks to indicate how the negative definition of the universal political subject can make a positive effect by the collective efforts and individual will. The commons are the foundation of how today’s global society can change, or how it inevitably needs to change.
