Colectivo Contrainformativo Sub*Versión - FOR WAR, NOTHING

For War, Nothing is an exploration of war and peace in Colombia by Colectivo Contrainformativo Sub*versión, an anarchist editorial and political collective based in Bogotá.

An analysis and critique of the 2016 peace agreement signed between the Colombian government and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC), the country’s oldest guerrilla organization, this political tract investigates capital’s interests in war and peace in Colombia.

Debates about the peace agreement dominated Colombian politics in the mid-to-late 2010s; its terms were set by conservatives and the extreme right, while liberals, progressives and NGOs, and the organized left struggled to intervene in the debate. Originally published in Spanish in 2017, For War, Nothing levies an anti-capitalist and anti-statist critique of the accords and the process that produced them, showing that neither the armed conflict, the accords themselves, nor the recent history of Colombia can be understood absent a critique of capitalism.    

For War, Nothing was originally published as Reflexiones Libertarias Sobre el Acuerdo de Paz en Colombia in 2017 by RojiNegro in Bogotá, Colombia. Translated by the Flora and Fauna Collective. Artwork by Shiva Addanki.
