[lbo-talk] Mitchel's interview with two Platypus organizers

[Carrol Cox]

Yes. But Postone, like anyone else, is a complex of elements. What
impressed me in his book was his intepretation of Marx's Critique of
Political Economy. The last chapter or two as he moved towards politics
were pretty weak. That, I think, is where his grad students are coming
from.  There is nothing in his book that is _directly_ relevant to
political organizing.
