… the limiting of the collective power of the people turns them from active agents into a passive population. They are active only as individuals, little entrepreneurs or enterprises. What appears as the freedom of the market thus depends on the foreclosure of the collective power of the people over what they share and produce in common. The power that matters—that of the people to affect the basic conditions in which they live—a power only actual if it is collective, is displaced onto an economy that they are told they cannot govern because they cannot know. The economy acts because the people cannot. As they are limited to their individual singularity, the economy gains the force and power of collective energies and engagements.
The liberal hollowing out of sovereignty depends on the claim that sovereignty requires total knowledge; sovereignty over the economy is ostensibly impossible because economic processes cannot be known. We don’t need to accept this claim. Neither sovereign power nor sovereign knowledge is ever whole or complete. They are partial, changing, and mutually determining. They are open to revision, recombination, and contestation. The sovereignty of the people doesn’t stem from what we know; it arises from what we do: we create the world that creates us.
“You must understand, again, that your thoughts and ideas do not exist as phantoms or shadow images without substance. They are electromagnetic realities. They affect your physical being and they are automatically translated by your nervous system into the stuff of your flesh and of your experience.”
