hi Neil and others

i've read Callinicos' Negri article (it's in 'International Socialism' #92) 
and i posted a brief message about it to aut-op-sy a while ago. BTW the 
article will probably be up sooner or later at www.lpi.org.uk

it was fairly obvious that Commisar Callinicos didn't really get Negri. it 
was amusing to read (again) that the SWP thinks Ya Basta/Tute Bianche are 
substitutionist (talk about the pot calling the kettle black) and that the 
'revolutionary left' were reduced to being passive spectators as the TB 
fought the cops in Genoa. surely that says much more about the bankruptcy of 
Trotskyism than of the TB.

while i'm on the subject of Negri, i've started reading Empire. i've only 
read to the end of part 1 but it doesn't seem like H&N see Empire and 
Multitude as two autonomous subjects like they've been criticised for on 
this list by Chris Wright and others. for instance they say something like 
'the multitude is inside and against empire' around page 50 (sorry for the 
imprecision but i don't have empire to hand). do they change their tune 
later on?

peter
