The talk pays special attention to the shared faith in policy imposition as the necessary and sufficient mechanism to address social volatility, notably the volatility both expressed and borne by surplus populations and climate refugees. The presupposition of policy solutions even in times of social catastrophe is traced through two parallel texts, Andreas Malm’s <em>How to Blow Up a Pipeline</em> and Kim Stanley Robinson’s <em>Ministry for the Future</em>, and their shared theory of political violence as policy weapon. It concludes with a discussion regarding the nationalist implications of policy solutions more broadly and the historically specific demand for internationalism against border regimes in present conditions.</p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Author(s): Joshua Clover</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Title (English): Parties of Order Right and Left</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journal Reference: </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Vol. 19, No. 1-2 (2022).</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Publisher: Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities - Skopje</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Page Range: 28-38</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Page Count: 10</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Citation (English): Joshua Clover, "Parties of Order Right and Left,”</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Vol. 19, No. 1-2 (2022): 28-38.</span></p><p><strong>Author Biography</strong></p><p><strong>Joshua Clover, University of California Davis</strong></p><p>Joshua Clover is the author of seven books, including <em>Roadrunner</em> (Duke, 2021) as well as <em>Riot.Strike.Riot: the New Era of Uprisings</em>, a political economy of social movements, with recent editions in Italian, French, German, Turkish, and Swedish.
