It is for those, however, who are seeking to overthrow the >capitalist class, a task that Negri and Hardt have disavowed. I'm not a Negrian (if such a thing exists) and I don't think there are too many of them on this list so I'm not sure who your comments are directed at. However hopefully all of us on this list are 'seeking to overthrow the capitalist class' something which is not best done by mirroring the capitalist organisation of society with an authoritarian party. peter _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
