I was wondering what Dave Y makes of the very explicit adoption of Kautsky as a model theorist by
Mike Macnair and Lars Lih?
I wrote a critical review of MacNairs book which rehabilitates Kautsky here http://londonbookclub.co.uk/?p=617

Subject: [OPE] Important review of Kautskyism Past and Present

The latest edition of FRFI has a review of an important new online book by
Alec Abbott - Kautskyism past and present. The review is in FRFI 216 - The
limits to opportunism - and is by Peter Howell. It can be found at:
http://www.revolutionarycommunist.org/index.php/reviews/1873-the-limits-to-opportunism--frfi-216-augsep-2010.html

If you have difficulty opening this go to the FRFI website at
www.revolutionarycommunist.org - FRFI latest edition on left-hand side.

The book is a rigorous critique of writers such as Panitch and Gindin,
Negri, Perry Anderson, Brenner, Callinicos and Harvey. It also shows the
significance of Kautsky's different theories of ultra-imperialism and
examines the views of the above writers in that context. The book is the
first volume available so far of a three volume work. It can be found at:

www.rosclar.webspace.virginmedia.com

Please pass this information on to others who might also be interested.
