Who is a capitalist nowadays? (was Re: Negri on globo

[Greg Schofield]

I may well be shot down in flames, but I think capitalists (as private owners of capital) are all but exitinct. Talk instead about the bourgeoisie as a class descended from earlier capitalists and it seems to make more sense.

But the capital stock of the U.S. is mostly owned by the likes of 
IBM, and not small plastics plants in Tennessee. Does that means that 
the means of production aren't really under capitalist control?
