That's the dream, isn't it? I quote Negri too often saying "Money has but one face, that of the boss." Still, I thought capital wasn't so much antisocial as partly socialized - as opposed to smaller-scale systems of production that preceded it. I'm just trying to figure out how one goes about transforming the world that exists - where to start, where the vulnearbilities/possibilities are, etc.
