helped people from all walks of life empower themselves. With the said
technology some even bring down their respective totalitarian government and
clamor for genuine democracy. This politicalization is typically inherent in the
infrastructure of the Internet.
In fact, the emergence of anarchist movement in the Philippines came into being
during the early days of web 2.0. It was this moment when anti-‐WTO uprising in
Seattle transmitted its data packets around the globe and infected the multitudes
especially the young people in Southeast Asia who were tired of the aging
politics of authoritarian Left.
However, together with global restlessness, Capitalism reinvented itself and
accommodated its mutation process with the impact of distributed network
technology.
This paper will try to understand the opposing characteristics of Digital economy
brought by the Internet. Furthermore, it will also look at the development of
early anarchist thought and locate its influence in the inception of distributed
network technology.
The concept of Commons as neither public nor private property will also be
introduced in this paper. Moreover, the nature of Philippine state is scrutinized
to explore other revolutionary possibility that is neither national reactionary nor
national revolutionary.
