Re: AUT: Source of quotation

[Massimo De Angelis <M.Deangelis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Zeynep, the source of this quotation was the object of some
discussion some times ago in this list. Around the mid of june I have
asked the same question, as the quote was reported in a article by
Harry Cleaver which appeard on an Italian Jouurnal Riff raff. Nobody
could actually tell me the where and when of the origin of this
quote. John Hutnyk suggested the collection "The indigenous Voice"
edited by Roger Moody, but I could not find it there (the book though
is a great collection).

So, my answer is I don't know, although everybody seems to know
about the existence of this great quote.

PS. I will reply to the other comments soon. Thanks a lot for them.
