>From a fwd from Yoshie (The Vision Thing, Naomi Klein, The Nation):
So how do you extract coherence from a movement filled with anarchists, whose greatest tactical strength so far has been its similarity to a swarm of mosquitoes?....

I am tempted to ask, and the point was...? These calls for more tightly organized and concerted action are premature. Just keep up the drone against these global bastions and see what happens.
There was a Charlie Rose interview the other night with Carter-Bresson(?) the photographer. Rose kept asking him, `so what is photography to you' and C-B kept saying the same thing. Its sketching with one finger, its the ethic of anarchism. Rose couldn't understand these responses, because he was hung up on the word anarchy.
Rose could see that C-B's photographs are some of the most classically well composed and geometrically rational images ever made. How could they come from an ethic of anarchy? Form arrives of its own out of the continency of the moment. Paz called it the poetics of now. That's what Bresson was trying to tell Rose.
So, wait and see.
