Re: AUT: An interesting critique of Negri

["Chris Wright" <cwright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two quick points.

First, I posted the article without acutally asking John Holloway first
(thankfully, he didn't mind).  He wrote this as an article, which his post
clarifies.

Second, while I agree with your intent, IIan, when dealing with Negri it is
necessarily a discussion that has to take him on his level.  That sadly
means his difficult (that is the polite word, I have others) language.  At
the same time, he does not generally write for a non-academic audience or
people whose language skills in English or Italian (or whatever you
translate him into, actually) are competent, but not academic-level.
Anyway, i think your request is a reasonable one.  I don't have the time to
try and meet it, but if someone else does, it would be good.

Cheers,
Chris
