< Today, you can in real time collaborate with agency that would in the past seemed opponent to you politically; like Phorudon and Marx (anarchism vs communism), Lasal and Spartakists as well as Lenin and Kautsky (Socialism vs. Social Democracy), as well as all the following generations of left and progressive fracitonalism. This made possible for capitalism to assert itself as an irreversible and immortal historical structure.>
Dear Orsan, I'm not sure how to understand that argument. I would say yes, networks function by affinity and seek commonality for joint action, and much of the earlier antagonisms seem antiquated. I think it is also a epistemological and multi-perspectival or trans-paradigmic issue: do we have to agree with marx 100% and reject Proudhon or rather can we expect that there is truth in various positions ? Are all the debates and antagonisms of the 19th and 20th cy fully operational today ? But I'm not sure how this is related to 'made it possible for capitalism to assert itself" How is the fact that say anarchists and communists can now talk to each other and transcend former antagonisms, related to capital's self-assertion ? I fully agree with your last paragraph: <" as long as we are doing trans-level and multi-dimentional practice of community/network building and interlinking work (allowing empowerment of ourselves and all the nodes simultaneously), it does not matter that much what we have as personal visions, preferences, expectations, predictions, so on.. about the future and nature of transition. The previous organisational forms, like part, platform, block, front, did not allow such collaborative and egaliterian ethical alliances. Now it is more possible then before, not perfectly smooth of course. With the 'quantum-logic' I was reffering this new possibility. This is an outcome of the technological-communicational paradigm shift, and at the moment it works for the advantage of the ruled, yet it might not last long."> -- *Please note an intrusion wiped out my inbox on February 8; I have no record of previous communication, proposals, etc ..* P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
