Precariousness is simultaneously the source of authoritarianism and the ground of solidarity.

Evidence

What our financialized moment might reveal is that our shared precariousness, which is the condition both of disastrous authoritarianism (including the disorganized and diffuse totalitarianism of finance capital) and of solidarity, does not only emerge from our shared material and ontological conditions; it is also a horizon of shared futurity (see Berardi 2009). That is, precariousness carries encrypted within it a shared relationship with the future. — Max Haiven, Cultures of Financialization, 236
