Not what I said. Those local struggles *are* the transnational struggle. Local budgets are being savaged because the plutocrats ran up the biggest credit bubble in human history, and now want us ordinary citizens to pay for it.
And transnationalism isn't some ideal to be realized, it's a plebian reality. If you own a cellphone or have internet access, you're a transnational citizen.
In re Carrol's appeal to the local: well, sure, but it all depends what that locality is. I'm a communications/media researcher, so my locality is the videogame commons (sort of a subsection of the digital commons). I try to do what I can in that space.
