it would be interesting to know how in the hell have you found out that this
new autonomous collective has chosen its name ("multitudes", I gather) from
the dictionary(and not from the tradition of that very movement itself). In
all probability, yours, it is pure speculation. Within the sans papiers
movement the word "multitudes" is no news. Even among this very mailing list
contributors(at least of the past) there are regular contributors of the
Parisian Journal that bears that name and that has dealt with the sans
papiers issue(s) for quite some time.  The same Journal is without any doubt
influenced by Negri, someone you keep considering just an "intellectual",
while it should be known that he's no stranger to movements' organization(or
do you think that he will be a free man only next October because he's
misspelled some words ?)  .  Negri's influence on the sans papier movement
is a FACT. The fact of the matter is that you show no familiarity whatsoever
with this stuff.

ciao,
