History

edit
 
Claus Peter Ortlieb (mathematician)

The group Exit! emerged from a split in the Krisis group. Krisis was founded by the philosopher Robert Kurz and others in 1986.[19] Kurz was to become its most active and prominent author, and the group were to become instrumental in the development of value dissociation criticism.[19] Before the split of the group occurred in 2004, Kurz had already managed to publish his seminal work Schwarzbuch Kapitalismus, which Die Zeit had proclaimed one of the most important publications of the decade.[3][24] However, when the group split, Robert Kurz ended up co-founding the new group with the name of Exit!.[3][25][26] According to those who would become involved in Exit!, the split was the result of a putsch by a minority of the editorial staff of Krisis.[27] But those who remained with Krisis claimed that it had to do with personal reasons between the members.[28] A few members of EXIT! published a communiqué stating among other facts, that a theoretical conflict had developed due to Kurz critical engagements with anti-Germans. They noted that the majority of the old editorial board from Krisis would start a new project, that was to become EXIT![27] They also stated that they wanted to keep developing theory that was free of "an ideology of the pro-western ¡hurrah!", as well as expressed an aim to "we want to offer to the rising social movements a useful critical-solidary reference, instead of the pattern of "left populist" and anti-Semitic thought".[27]
