while the question about globalization was quite prescient, the response was much less so. this idea that we can combat multinational power through loose groups of free association and expect to win is patently absurd, and probably the dominant reason we got beat up so badly in the 90s. i mean, if you want to try and escape into temporary autonomous zones or something, that's one thing. but, that's giving up on the fight before it starts. as an actual tactic for resistance, it's a formula for catastrophic failure. imagine the soviets taking on the nazis one principality at a time. i don't think chomsky would fall for this type of thinking.

at the least, we can try and learn from this and move forward. the liquidity of capital has gotten to the point where the only possible resistance is multinational. it takes mere days to move from one country to the other, leaving behind a transformed economy and structural levels of poverty. so, there must be co-ordination on regional and global levels for any kind of resistance to be effective. otherwise, capital will move across the landscape like a jaguar moving through the night.
