Hardt and Negri’s controversial thesis of theautonomization of biopolitical labor from capitalist command as the basis for thepolitical emancipation of the working class/multitude is also discussed and comparedwith Deleuze and Guattari’s vision of becoming-minoritarian as the only viableanti-capitalist politics.
