It is true that at first sight the two operations — opposing a government and looking for the ways to function in common despite differences — do not seem to be the same. And yet, similar questions arise: first, in both cases, one must avoid the retreat into individualist and cynical comfort that justifies renouncements or that brings to an end any possibility of collective elaboration. Then, there is the problem of hegemony, and the ways of escaping it. On the one hand, the well-ensconced hegemony of economic relations and other manifestations of structural power, against which there is hardly any option except open battle. On the other, the never-really-absent temptation of a false solution to the problem of the one and the multiple, which pushes a developing strength to expel that which it cannot assimilate.
