As chapter one comes to an end Hardt & Negri make a brief turn to Althusser, Machiavelli and the political manifesto. They say:
"...the manifestos of Machiavelli and Marx-Engels define the political as the movement of the multitude and they define the goal as the self-production of the subject. Here we have a materialist teleology."
Why accept this definition of the political? Why not this one??
