Prison is not a lack of freedom, just as life itself is not freedom. The fact is that one must make live the positive passions. The positive passions are the ones that construct, whether one is in prison or outside. And the positive passions are the ones that construct community, that liberate realtionships, that create joy.
--Toni Negri

Is it possible that any movements, even on an individual level, toward the realization/construction of what Negri has termed "the positive passions" are, even inchoately, revolutionary, at least to some extent? While the limitations of individual activities are apparent to all at this point in time, doomed as they always are to cooptation, or being consigned to the margins to peter out/fade into obscurity in the belly of the Beast, is it possible that various individual/marginal projects toward the liberation of these passions/desires can coalesce somehow into wider, broader, collective projects capable of at least presenting germinal alternatives to the social conditions of life created by I.W.C. (Integrated World Capitalism?)

As I sit here in this doughnut shop writing this, watching the sleeping homeless man snoring just off to my right, and while contemplating the conditions of my own wretched existence, I don't see any more viable pathway in life other than to begin the work of defining and constructing these passions. Otherwise, we may as well be in prison, as Negri indicates. Given the generalized miserablism of life as it is currently lived, how can we, both collectively and as individual desiring-machines, start the work of transforming life from prison/charnel house into a more joyous prospect in a living community of passionate/passioning beings? And what have we got to lose by undertaking such a project, anyway? All these years after the death of Lenin, and we still haven't much to lose besides our chains.
