Collapse of Order

Right on the surface of the digital fountain we see concern on the part of the world's most heavily-enfranchised folks about a creeping chaos. Terrorism and digital piracy have long been on the agenda for apparaticians (or promotors of state-control structures). But recently, with the apparant collapse of the subprime borrows market, we see a stronger and stronger consciousness of the total impotance of the global financial services industry when it comes to securing a return on the money it "sends out" into the world. Add to this the instability created by emergent technologies, the growth of identity theft, and the complete dislocation of global culture to the "unlocation" of the web, and you have the conditions for an absolutley unplanned, unpredicted, unpredictible revolutionary consciousness. For the next week this blog will, through an examination of emergencies, visit the anarchive which is quickley collapsing out of the old capitalist system of mediated chaos.
