"The empire we are faced with wields enormous powers of oppression and destruction, but that fact should not make us nostalgic in any way for the old forms of domination. The passage to empire and its processes of globalization offer new possibilities to the forces of liberation. The geography of these alternative powers, the new cartography, is still waiting to be written-or really, it is being written today through the resistances, struggles, and desires of the multitude."
