Communication, Unity, Equality

The World Wide Web is a communications medium, unprecedented in its extensiveness and simultaneity.  Now, the role of Communication in more fundamentally coordinating society than the Means of Production is missed by Marx, even as he publishes works exhorting the workers of the world to unite.  As is the case with any Network, the two fundamental characteristics of the WWW is quantitative Unity and Multiplicity, with whether or not there is a qualitative dimension to either an open question.  Thus, the nodes of any Network are Equal by virtue of the Unity that grounds it. Likewise, as the WWW illustrates, there is a fundamental Equality of the members of the human species that is derived from the Unity of the latter, and whether or not that Equality is more than quantitative is an open question.
