TheMultitude

Introduction to The Multitude
The Multitude is a communist Utopia based on the intellectual tradition running from Marx through to Foucault, Deluze and Guatari, and Hart and Negri. It holds the dual ideals of freedom and equality dear. The Multitude is to be found on the Southern tip of the Northern Island of New Zealand.

Early History
The settlement of what is now named ABody Without Organs, The Multitudes capital city, began on 20 September 1839 with the arrival of the Foucault Company ship 'Society Must Be Defended'. The 150 prospective settlers had fled the devastaing life of the 'Old World' and planned on creating a Utopia away from the shackles of class and privilage. In particular they were concerned with the increasing proponderance of the use of biopower as a means of social contol.

To the surprise of the settlers the land was already settled by a civilized people who soon came to be refered to as the Maori. The region was, in the native tongue, called Te Upoko o te Ika a Maui, meaning "the head of Maui's fish", harking back to a great tribal myth in which the Island was literally fished up. The Maori possessed a vivid and complex social structure comprised of diverse cultural processes, moral and spiritual beliefs, and legal mores.

However, the settlers were immediatly welcomed
