It is difWcult to imagine an indeWnite extension of the manifold and overlapping contradictions of contemporary global capitalism. The desires and dreams of peoples are amassed and quantiWed through patented data analytics of private Wrms and speculated on as projections of consumption and global labor productivity. 1 The local use- values of indigenous communities are enclosed through industry- backed nature conservancy policies and captured in the market logics of global Wnancial resources (World Rainforest Movement). Online marketplaces trade credits that can be cashed in by private corporate polluters, and nations, for the privilege of sidestepping the few remaining legal protections of ecological commons (Lohman). The future, no one needs to be reminded, looks grim. Indeed a certain structural myopia in which the future is only imaginable as a return on the probability of the same of the present seems to be the sine qua non of a mode of production that is subordinate to the processes and apparatuses of Wnancial speculation in the twenty- Wrst century. Yet a profound resistance to this present— a present in which the exploitation and the negation of a sustainable existence for this world are integrated into the mode of production of society itself— is evident everywhere. Strikes, occupations, mass marches, and novel Internet- based forms of activism echo the demand of the movement of movements: Another world, another future, is possible. Theorizing exactly what is meant by “the possible” is precisely the site where the anonymous researchers and activists of the Uncertain Commons propose to intervene in their recent manifesto Speculate This! 2 For if what we seek— assuming we seek anything at all— is an escape route from a future that is preWgured by the conditions of possibility in the present, we must invent concepts adequate to the task, concepts that, at minimum, help us to avoid an encounter with more of the same cloaked as difference. As we will show, while important,

超越可能

很难想象当代全球资本主义的多重和重叠矛盾的无限延伸。人们的愿望和梦想通过私有 Wrms 的专利数据分析被积累和量化,并被推测为消费和全球劳动生产率的预测。1 土著社区的当地使用价值包含在行业支持的自然保护政策中,并体现在全球 Wnancial 资源(世界雨林运动)的市场逻辑中。在线市场交易信用,私人企业污染者和国家可以兑现,以避开少数剩余的生态公地法律保护(Lohman)。不需要人提醒的未来,看起来很严峻。事实上,某种结构性近视,其中未来只能想象为对现在相同概率的回报,似乎是一种生产方式的必要条件,这种生产方式从属于 20 世纪金融投机的过程和装置。 - 第一个世纪。然而,对这个当下的深刻抵制——在这个当下,对这个世界可持续存在的剥削和否定被整合到社会本身的生产方式中——无处不在。罢工、占领、群众游行和基于互联网的新型激进主义形式呼应了运动运动的需求:另一个世界,另一个未来,是可能的。将“可能”的确切含义理论化正是不确定公地的匿名研究人员和活动家在他们最近的宣言中提议进行干预的网站推测这个!2 因为如果我们寻求的东西——假设我们寻求任何东西——是一条逃离由当前可能性条件所预示的未来的逃生路线,那么我们必须发明适合于任务的概念,这些概念至少可以帮助我们避免遇到更多相同的伪装作为差异。正如我们将要展示的,虽然很重要,帮助我们避免遇到更多相同的伪装作为差异。正如我们将要展示的,虽然很重要,帮助我们避免遇到更多相同的伪装作为差异。正如我们将要展示的,虽然很重要,
