While much has been written on Latour's politics and use of militaristic language, by attending to some of Latour's lesser known or read writings, his political location within the traditional Left-Right spectrum becomes more discernable, as does the reason for his frequent resort to the language of war. This article does not seek to defend Latour's politics or rhetoric, but to provide a corrective by incorporating, rather than taking distance from, his use of militaristic language. Doing so reveals an understanding of Latour's project as having always been—if not traditionally Left—charting a different Leftist approach.
