Dynamics – network gatekeeping power
• Inclusion/Exclusion– Who is a citizen?– Who is entitled to certain rights?– Prioritize groups that promote the gatekeeper’s interest– Exclusion of groups that risk network-making power– Legislation to bound the power of the judicial system
• Switching-making power

Counter Power- Background• Israel – housing crisis, unbearable
cost of living• Spain - Financial crisis, high rates of
unemployment, housing crisis for the youth and threat to Internet freedom.

Counter Power - The Message• We don’t have a democracy because
government is captured by financial interests and personal interests of politicians.
• There is a disconnect between network-making power (setting the goals of the democratic network) and the code power (how these goals are achieved, rules of representation).
• It is not about the crisis, but about the management of the crisis.

Counter Power - Goals• Both - change political system,
reprogram political representation and participation
• Israel – achieve “social justice”,• Spain – those responsible for the
crisis should pay for it, keep the welfare state, control corruption, replace current corporate media
