What should we do with the ideals of internationalism, the
withering away of state and horizontality? Probably start by
thinking seriously about them. That is to say, about their
conditions of possibility (or impossibility), rather than sticking
to the wishful thinking which believes that for them to happen it
is enough to want them. Humanity exists neither as a dust cloud of
separate individuals nor as a unified world political community. It
exists fragmented into distinct finite wholes, the forms of which
have varied considerably throughout history - the nation-state
being only one among many, and certainly not the last. What are the
forces that produce this fragmentation, engender such groupings and
prevent them from being perfectly horizontal, but also lead them to
disappear, merge, or change form? It is questions such as these
that this book explores, drawing on Spinoza's political philosophy
and especially his two central concepts of multitudo and imperium.
