From: "rcam" <rcollins-AT-netlink.com.au> Subject: RE: AUT: Bad Faith - was Black Blocks Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 15:21:18 +1000 Alessandro: : no, you're right. And you'd be right again if you stated that the : "models"(even as far forms of struggle, "tactics, are concerned) are : still to be determined(through practical experimentation) by the : "multitude". I'm much happier with this, than with what you wrote previously: : Again, from what I gather, the main (military) objective of the : "multitude" in Genoa was to force(creatively and, why not, : "theatrically") was to force the fences around the "zona rossa". What I got from previous discussion was a forsaking the concept of (and a practice adequate to) the multitudes in favour of asserting a sovereignty, setting about policing the borders of 'the anti-capitalist movement' and deporting those whom one wishes to cast as 'outsiders' or 'imports'. Multitude does not mean ya basta, 'the majority', 'united front', or Genoa Social Forum, and it certainly does not mean the re-assertion of a sovereign will that might be expressed in terms of an "objective". But, rather than simply move on, I do think that, whether things were said in haste or not, those things are still being circulated as if they are the position of ya basta. So, even if we don't continue to discuss these things here, there remains the question of whether or not those who made the initial accusations step back from them publicly by writing something that might circulate as widely as had the initial accusations. That does not seem to me to be too much to ask. Angela _______________ <end message> --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
