Sebastian,

I have already posed one question...if there is any
room left for another I would like to have it asked.

It is about "Exodus" as a form of revolt.
It is clear how Exodus undermined the former
East bloc, however all of those people deserted
to the west and exploitation under a different
form of oppression.  The same can be said of
immigrants moving from "the South" to "the North". 
Given that Negri and Hardt
themselves declare that there is no place to hide,
where are we supposed to desert to?

As for the anthropomorphic style of "exodus" it would
seem to me that we would have to basically create
bodies that did not need "commodities" in order for
this type of resistance to work well.  That's not now
possible...does Hardt have any clarification on this
matter of anthropomorphic "exodus"?
