No, not in the least. This is obviously a fourth hand mis-remembering of something that Althusser wrote in his posthumous memoir.
2) as Lou suggests in his nugget from the archives much of Althusser is so abstract it is vacuous.
This doesn't engage with the subject at its own level.

That's a view. One way to make it persuasive is to back it up, demonstrate insight or knowledge. You haven't done either yet.
