I'm beginning to feel like that archaic mode of acoustic technology, the broken record.

I repeat: the developmental state is a field of contradictions, not a unitary entity. It is not just simply an instrument of repression and regimentation, though all states have repressive aspects. It also contains digital socialisms, welfare state resistances, ecological activisms, and commons-based struggles for social and economic justice.
