"But what we need just as desperately is a new and different politics, the politics of new spaces of liberty (to paraphrase Negri and Guattari), a politics capable of acknowledging that a true solidarity and an absolute singularity, far from being mutually exclusive, are in fact conditioned on each other in a polytopian world. A global culture would exist only if it permitted—"systemically," as it were — the coming into being of communities of such absolute singularities."
