htscale The Scale of Capitalism and ResistanceIn the face of the new form of globalization, some have argued thatwe must return to the nation state or to culture as the privileged siteof struggle, others have maintained that the individual is necessarilythe site of confrontation. Many Marxists, on the other hand, haveargued theoretically that the world proletariat, often understood as ahomogenous entity, must unite as one to overthrow capitalism. Inpractice, Marxists have usually attempted to organize the proletariat atthe scale of the nationality. The present moment in the capitalistprocess shows up the limits of these approaches and the need to think criticallyabout the issue of scale and difference in opposing capitalism. Today,more than ever, we need to pay attention to both ends of the scale: theuniversal (global capitalism and global capitalist culture) and to theparticular (how capitalism operates in a particular geographic situation,culture or how it effects particular individuals or groups). Onedichotomy we wish to avoid, however, is that contained in the idea thatcapitalism is the universal and homogenous and culture is the particularand heterogeneous. One project that Hot Tide is involved in, therefore,is to rethink the contradictions between anarchism (especially individualistand insurrectionary anarchism) and anti-state communism and autonomousMarxism. This is both a question of theorization (How does capitalismoperate on different spatial scales? How does it produce difference acrossthe globe? What forms of resistance and positive self-valorization areemerging in the present moment?) and organization (How are diverse people(a multitude) with diverse goals to attack capitalism effectively withouterasing or repressing their differences; the two should not be separated.We will write a series of articles in order to stimulate such a discussionin both Hot Tide and Killing King Abacus.Points for further discussion:1. The most recent phase of globalization is a new spatial organizationof capitalism. Yet it is simplistic to understand this new phaseof globalization as the emergence of pure capitalism and the destructionof the nation state. (it is strange that some anarchists have recentlyfallen into such rhetoric) or as simply the homogenization of the globe. Capitalism works on many levels to produce differences around the globe,it doesn't only produce homogenization. While capitalism works tofree certain flows of trade and capital, for instance, it also always tiesthese flows down on new levels. And while the role of the state iscertainly changing, there is no pure capitalism that wishes to wipe thestate out completely. Capitalists use state power to reorganize globalpower relations. States take part in the construction of new or reinventednodes of power such as the World Bank, the IMF, NATO, and the WTO. It is through states that these institutions gain legitimacy. Atthe same time that states are losing some control over the flow of tradeand capital, the control of many states over the lives and actions of theirpopulations has increased. The state and capital have sunk theirtentacles deeper into our very being. At the same time, capitalismhelps to produce uneven geographic conditions around the globe: some statesbecome stronger while being retooled and others grow weaker. It isalso true however, that the globe has almost been completely envelopedin under a single logic of power and value, and states must operate withinthat logic.2. We need to reconceptualize how we envision resistance to capitalism. The time for thinking in terms of the 'mass' is long gone (if there everwas one); we need to be able to conceptualize resistance without eitherwiping out our differences, or denying commonality in struggle (there isonly one capitalism). There is no homogenous mass, only a multitudeof participants in the struggle against capitalism. This seemingcontradiction between the desires of and individual and the struggle ofthe multitude is indeed difficult to attend to, but it is enormously important. In moments of struggle we need to make space for our differences whileattacking the many headed hydra of capitalism. On the level of organization,this means we should never again attempt to build a single, overarchingorganization; the autonomy of self-organization must always be maintained. In addition, organizations should have a particular purpose for which theycome together, and once that particular purpose has been reached they shoulddisband. Permanent organizations have a tendency to become authoritarianand waste most of the energy of the participants in trying to 'build theorganization' or push its line.3. It's the date, not only the target. The recent stringof anti-capitalist protests, while not without problems, have given a powerfulnew form to the anti-capitalist struggle. This has been especiallytrue in their ability to link up diverse struggles without wiping out theirparticularity. The brilliance of these struggles has been their organizationaround a certain date on which a global capitalist institution is meeting. While there were large protests at the site of a major target, it was thedate and capitalism in its many aspects that was the prime focus. Thus one is encouraged to attack a target of one's own choice on that day.Attacks on such diverse targets on the same day that a global capitalistinstitution meets, link many struggles without causing them to march tothe same drummer or suppressing the diversity of these struggles until'the organization' names the time (after the revolution?). The simultaneityof these struggles links them up in our imaginations; this allows us tobegin in understand a common enemy. We have no need to go to Seattle,Washington, or Prague (although doing so is fine); pick your own targetin your area, for N30 or S11, and find the local particular expressionof an always globalizing capitalism as your target. geovisit();
