delinking does not equal autarchy (Zim case)

[Lisa & Ian Murray]

You pointed out on the Debate list that when Aristide took office, he
faced the "constraints faced by Third World progressives once they
take the state... and find that's not where the power lies!" And
hasn't something gone badly wrong since the ANC - surely one of the
most admirable revolutionary forces ever, no? - took power in SA?
Isn't this a serious problem with a state-centered strategy? Should
we be trying to think beyond all these inherited structures of the
nation-state?
