red notes RE: AUT: Re: History of Solidarity UK?/History of Autonomist Marxism

[commie zero zero <commie00@xxxxxxxxx>]

does anyone know how to get a hold of the red notes
material... the only things i've been able to find is
the negri book, and my attempts to write to them have
gone unanswered... (hell, i was assuming they didn't
exist anymore)...

thanks...
