war unending ... the Republic is Lost....

Simplicissmus

'Empire rules over a global order that is not only fractureed by internal divisions and hierarhcies but also plagued by perpetual war.

The state of War in Empire is inevitable, and war fucntons as an instrument of of rule.

Today's imperial peace _ Pax Imperii_ like that in ancient Rome
is a false pretense of peace that
really presides over a state of
Constant War ~ .

( examples: Congo, Kosovo, Darfur, Iraq; others there for the picking)

Hardt and Negri _ Multitude xiii

'The world is at war again, but things are different this time....
War is becoming a general phenomena ,
global and interminable....

There are innumerable armed conflicts waged across the

globe today, some brief and limited to a specific place,

others long lasting and expansive.... These
conflicts might be best conceived as instances

not of war
but


rather
civil war....
Multitude p 3

EmPire Empire Empire

Empire Imperium Imperial....


This civil war


show be understood now not
within the national space
since that is no longer effective unity of sovereignty, but
across the global terrain ...

Since you were a kid you thought you were living in Roman times.. so then, is this sense the sense of intensity of being hooked before even knowing what that sense of things signified?
