Epstein, impunity and collective power

Epstein wasn’t selling girls’ bodies, he was selling the experience of impunity. The end product was not the sexual act, but the assurance that there would be no consequences. That’s the supreme commodity in capitalism. The right to transgress without punishment.

FULL text translated from Spanish original:

“The comparison being made of Pasolini’s Salò film and the Epstein files is not a metaphor, in an explanation of the real thing. Pasolini unveiled the intimate logic of naked power, the same that Epstein’s roles expose in raw, without aesthetic mediation.

Salò does not speak of historical fascism, but of fascism as a permanent possibility of capitalism. It’s not about “insanity” or “individual perversion.” It is about the instrumental rationality of power when it is emancipated from all ethical limits. Power doesn’t just want obedience, it wants to create reality.

Epstein was not an isolated sadist but the manager of a legal and morally extraterritorial territory, where the capitalist elites created an experimental space freed from all human law. There the accumulation of capital translates to the accumulation of impunity on feminized and impoverished bodies.

Epstein wasn’t selling girls’ bodies, he was selling the experience of impunity. The end product was not the sexual act, but the assurance that there would be no consequences. That’s the supreme commodity in capitalism. The right to transgress without punishment.

But power is not omnipotent. It has cracks. And in those cracks grows the ordinary. The resistance here is not “complaintance”, but practice of re-appropriation: Re-appropriation of the body. Re-appropriating the narrative. Re-appropriation of the look. Where there is testimony, there is gap in the power. Where there is memory, there is a possibility of justice.

Epstein is not a case, he is the most vomiting face of a system that needs to be destroyed before he destroys everything. Burn what has to burn. “
