George,

thanks for that- the 1979 article is a much better quality version of 
counter-revolutionary writing- it even appreciates Negri as a poet (at least 
in Italian) while simultaneously denouncing him-and at least mounts an 
argument about the relations between Negri and violence rather than just 
stating supposed facts (perhaps the wirter even read some of his books?). In 
these days of witch-hunting, obviously such subtlety is no longer 
necessary.....

Michael
