%X I argue in this article that race ¨C reconceptualised against the post-racial logic of racial neoliberalism as a material relationship rather than simply an identity ¨C functions within the logic of radicalisation in Australian anti-terrorism to produce the conditions necessary for the reproduction of neoliberal capitalism. Taking theoretical cues from the arguments of David Theo Goldberg and Stuart Hall, I argue that the logic of radicalisation within this process mobilises the raced spectral figure of the essentially violent, extremist Muslim ¡®other¡¯ to two key ends: first, the invisibilisation of the political motivations and grievances underpinning the actions of those who commit terrorist violence; second, the reproduction of neoliberal capitalism through the fashioning of neoliberal subjectivities, the salving of collective anxieties at the effects of neoliberal restructuring via ¡®authoritarian populism¡¯, and the innovation of new ¨C and augmentation of existing ¨C opportunities for profit and accumulation
