It was merely a lighthearted comment to introduce the news of N&H in Time,
not an analysis of the political ontology of capital... Wow, you guys are
really highbrow!

We could of course take a deleuzo-guattarian approach and argue that any
strategy of exodus involves the production of a BwO that lies not outside,
but alongside practices of resistance and exodus... I think this may well
play a part in N&H's strategy anyway, but my comment wasn't really trying to
be analytical...

That's a bit weird... I think it is the logical consequence of everything
written in Empire. If there is no longer an outside then M&N are as much
part of Empire as everybody else. Why would they suddenly be outside, with a
book published by Stanford... excuse me. How far inside the USA can you get?
There is no 'outside' anymore to be appropriated by evil capital (such as
Time). Unless you want to reclaim the outside, of course, but that will be
quite a task.

Ciao, Geert
