Dearest Louis, all this proves is that you haven't read the book, or managed
to, prefering to gloss over that incomprehension with lengthy quotes from
and associations with others, and all in order to move inexorably toward the
rather tediously compulsive reassurance that someone needs -- really, truly,
they must have! -- your powers of intellectual transcendence, as the
transmitter of ideas to the fighters, of course.

: Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's "Empire" is best understood as a *turn*
: within the ideological/political current known as "post-Marxism".

Best understood by you, and best for you, but hardly best *understood*,
since you haven't.  And, since you so obviously want to render yourself as
the gatekeeper of marxist rectitude, and hardt et al as traitorous
postie/pomo-lovers, perhaps you could explain why you insist on a
pre-marxian idealism (hegel-consciousness) as the condition of revolution?
Ok, maybe 'explanation' is too strong a word.
