Hi Dogan:

I'm either that naive - or you are. Nothing Dave has written or done (his praxis)
can justify such a conclusion about his alleged political positions. I think
what you are doing, ironically, is the same as what I critisized Dave about ealier
in this thread: trying to tease out the alleged political "implications"
of a theoretical position a a way of critiquing that theory. As I remarked earlier to
Dave this is bad practise - but one which, unfortunately, has a long history in
Marxist discourse.

In solidarity, Jerry
