I don't agree. I would accept his own behaviour could not stand in for an argument against his various propositions. But there is indeed a relationship between his supine toadying to the officials of the PCF, and his social theory, whose essential component is the evacuation of subjectivity from history, and on top of that, a tedious attempt to construct a theory of society as a 'process without a subject'.
His social theory was against human agency; his political practice was to reimpose the authority of first the PCF upon those revolutionary movements that challenged it. The two are intimately connected. ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
