Hardt links the idea of the 'Commons' to Standing Rock at time-point 32:17

Hardt / Assembly


'Integrated World Capitalism (IWC) forms massive subjective aggregates from the most personal -- one could even say infra-personal -- existential givens, which it hooks up to ideas of race, nation, the professional workforce, competitive sports, a dominating masculinity [virilite'], mass-media celebrity Capitalistic subjectivity seeks to gain power by controlling and neutralizing the maximum number of existential refrains. It is intoxicated with and anaesthetised by a collective feeling of pseudo-eternity.'
(Guattari, Three Ecologies)
