| Re: <nettime> Foundations for "Anthropocene Socialist" Movement |
The issue is that the opposition bent on atomizing the society does scale, and has no moral issues with it. The concentrated capital invested a lot in it, and has laid its hyphae, from server farms via enormous infrastructure (of fiber and terminating devices,) directly into brains of the rabble, supplanting social impulses with simulacrum, cutting lateral ties with others and routing everything through the modulating center.
I don't see how isolated colonies (of open door crappers) can prevail or even thrive, when faced with the planet-sized fungal organism. They will be eaten and digested. Which is exactly what is happening today. If they do not scale (and in your words, roughly, become their own enemy) what can they do but die? Because you can't take knife to a gun fight. This battle is lost. Look around. Knives do not work. There is no better knife, which seems to be the sole focus of the so-called 'progressive community'. They are like stamp collectors - benign.
Can open door crappers scale and not become their enemy? Is the hatred of guns so great that death is better? This is starting to look as a psychiatric problem.

I think that's worth noting, because instead of casting scaling as an intrinsic quality of some *thing*, the capacity to scale, it shifts our attention to the environment in which that scaling is said to take place. So, basically, it's the capacity to monopolize.
