The force of Empire is in its ability to control intellectual production, a power which has been increasing during the transition period of the capitalist model. This essay proposes that those oppressed by Empire -that is the Multitude as a class-, need free software as a means to fulfill this class's dream of democracy. Software is the best example of how democracy could be; it is also a tool for enhancing democracy. Given the weakness of Empire's model of liberal democracy within the Andean Region, the potential that free software affords is even greater. |
