On the aut-op-sy mailing list, they call the latest analysis "mad" as if H&N woke up one morning and decided for some ungodly reason to back the Empire against imperialism (as if this were a coherent position to begin with.) The autonomist comrades would be better off rereading "Empire" and trying to understand why H&N placed any credibility in Marx's troubled Tribune articles on India, a surefire indication that faith was being placed in capitalist progress as I pointed out to them. -- Sincerely, Craig Brozefsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kontact -- http://www.red-bean.com/kontact/wiki.cgi # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
