No one is ready

The international, constructs a world through its festivals, its constellation of fantasies and expectations. The international, promises connection through its communication and transportation technologies, notably the Internet, and through its institutions and corporations. The international, though adopting one world, has no singular direction. The international, moves fast across countries and across class in coalitions, following the lines of cars in the street, following the trees, public and private property, living and archaic artifacts, to join other movements. The international, is made of struggles of socialism, feminism, and labor movements. The international, has standards of conduct. The international, regulates when cities become visible. The international, is not simply postnational, perhaps just transnational. The international, also compresses time. The international, exists in an impasse between participation and negation. The international, can break into no-world. The international, can offer some rough general threads to look for.
