In a remarkable tribute to puerility, John Holloway wrote this bulletin: (http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=41&ItemID=7588)

He addresses absolutely nothing concrete, nothing in substance, nothing that has vitiated his grand thesis is even confronted - the isolation of the Zapatistas, the ascendance of Chavez, the war machine - nothing. The most moronic abstractions and postulations are placed forward without any reference to anything actually happening in the world. Only half-baked assertions, not developed or reasoned out, about forms of organization.

This is simply breathtaking - how in the name of God did Holloway acquire any kind of authority as an intellectual? His theoretical level of inquiry is about as rigorous as an overused bar of soap.
