Thank you for that Steve, it is a useful insight. My worry is that the
autonomists have only interpreted class composition, the point however is
to change it. ;-)

Actually, that's a serious point as well a play on words, you may have
noticed that the thread running through my posts was concern about a lack
of, even (in the case of Harry Cleaver) a rejection of the very notion of,
a strategic direction or plan based on such analysis. Analysis is
necessary, hard-headed analysis is the only sort worth it's salt.

But the best objective test of analysis is success of the strategy it suggests.
