Louis: I recently read Resnick and Wolff's tribute to Althusser shortly 
after his death. It is an extremely clear rejection of the primacy of 
class. I have no idea what the SSA is. Yeah, I should have not referred 
to the "Amherst School". My impression is that this is shorthand for 
Resnick and Wolff. If it isn't, apologies to one and all.

Louis: Maybe I am confused. I am speaking of Antonio Negri, born in 1933, 
who co-authored that hippie manifesto "Communists like Us" with Guattari. 
It is entirely possible that you folks are talking about another Negri. 
If you are, then apologies to one and all.
