As a proxy for the logic of global capitalism, globalization has engendered much dissent. Contemporaneously, globalization has provided a host of new technologies enabling a broad diversity of innovative approaches to the contestation of capitalism. Curiously, not only do these technologies represent the fruits of the capitalist enterprise, they are the critical enabling factors of globalization itself. This prompts the question: what is the efficacy of anti-globalization campaigns predicated on these technologies? I argue that not only are these new strategies of dissent problematic, they may instead support capitalism by concealing its continued operation. Implications and alternative strategies are discussed. |
