Quotes

  • Empire is emerging today as the center that supports the globalization of productive networks and casts its widely inclusive net to try to envelop all power relations within its &mdash; and yet at the same time it deploys a powerful police function against the new barbarians and the rebellious slaves who threaten its order.
  • We are by no means opposed to the globalization of relationships as such—in fact, as we said, the strongest forces of Leftist internationalism have effectively led this process. The enemy, rather, is a specific regime of global relations that we call Empire.
  • The legacy of modernity is a legacy of fratricidal wars, devastating "development," cruel "civilization," and previously unimagined violence. Erich Auerbach once wrote that tragedy is the only genre that can properly claim realism in Western literature, and perhaps this is true precisely because of the tragedy Western modernity has imposed on the world.
  • Philosophy is not the owl of Minerva that takes flight after history has been realized in order to celebrate its happy ending; rather, philosophy is subjective proposition, desire, and praxis that are applied to the event.
  • [The] fact of being within capital and sustaining capital is what defines the proletariat as a class.
  • The multitude is the real productive force of our social world, whereas Empire is a mere apparatus of capture that lives only off the vitality of the multitude &mdash; as Marx would say, a vampire regime of accumulated dead labor that survives only by sucking off the blood of the living.

Michael Hardt (Washington DC, 1960), es un teórico literario y filósofo político estadounidense, conocido sobre todo por ser autor, junto a Antonio Negri, de Imperio publicado en 2000.​ Esta obra fue considerada como el "Manifiesto Comunista del siglo XXI".​ Hardt y Negri sostienen que las fuerzas de opresión de clases contemporáneas, globalización y mercantilización de servicios (o producción de afectos), tienen el potencial de producir un cambio social de dimensiones sin precedentes. Una secuela, Multitud: Guerra y Democracia en la era del imperio, publicada en agosto de 2004, amplía la noción, ya propugnada en Imperio, de la multitud como posible locus de un movimiento democrático de proporciones globales.​ La parte tercera y final de la trilogía, Commonwealth, apareció en el otoño de 2009. En esta obra, Hardt y Negri ofrecen un marco de referencia a partir del cual restaurar el significado de conceptos corrompidos del vocabulario político. Además, elaboran sus sugerencias previas de que el cambio social puede conseguirse a partir de las formas actuales de opresión, junto a la necesidad de repensar lo común en el comunismo para que el cambio realmente tenga lugar.​
