While the two battlefronts may look very different, they actually have a lot in common.
On one side is the Resistance Network, dedicated to preserving closed, autocratic systems where the past buries the future.
On the other side is the Inclusion Network, trying to forge more open, connected, pluralizing systems where the future buries the past.
Who wins the struggles between these two networks will determine a lot about the dominant character of this post-post-Cold War epoch.
Their hearts, and often pocketbooks, are with the Resistors but their heads with the Includers.)
