Hardt’s elusiveness about becoming prince is likely because he knows no plan survives intact first contact with the enemy. To add another allusion or something to the discussion: Hardt is enlightening us with a floodlight and not a spotlight. While the general terrain is obvious the lights diffuse nature obscures some specific landmarks as well as pits. Boots on the ground going forward find those.

In other networks a vanguard forms of which its membership is then pieced out to form additional networks. Thus far the end goal finishes up as conventional warfare from Mao to now. An authority is present even if it is delegation of duties and responsibilities. The key to maintaining this leaderless structure long term, to my mind, appears to be keeping the levers of power rigorously depersonalized. This way the benefits of specialization or compartmentalization are reaped while frustrating fiefdoms or intra-organization Realist balancing. Frustration is the best you can hope for: the Communist Party of China came in as revolutionaries and are now the presiding power, so to speak.

I think, for Hardt, an authentic 'Multitudinal' movement honors the need to collectively govern the resources of the common through a commitment to non-exclusive forms of decision making. The rape case you speak of would be an expression of this insofar as it was a spontaneous 'destituent' expression. The bigger question for him, however, is how to institutionalize this expression so it 'becomes prince' – that's where I'm curious. If we read Declaration, its apparent in several places that they disavow their ability to say how this 'becoming prince' should be achieved. They do, however, offer some guiding advice about the challenges… and new opportunities… But I think this is where I get frustrated.

I've read Empire and Declaration. I had to leave without asking my question after his talk. I wonder, for instance, how he viewed the anti-rape movement that emerged in an enraged manner in Delhi and India in December. What happens to movements like that? And do leader-less movements eventually need leaders?

I don't know what I think of it, but I would love to see the merits of the claim fully debated in an open academic forum.

Many thanks for this kind write-up and I’m hoping to learn more about IR and IPE, hopefully working toward interdisciplinary alliances. I’m also happy you liked the list of proposals–that was probably the least liked part of my piece from others!

All the best, thank you again, and great work with this new blog,
Jason
