I tried his Intro to Hegel and didn't think much of it and couldn't get through it. Reading Hegel straight was much easier, which is saying something.

Anyway, I got the strong impression Kojeve was somekind of neocon. Could be a wrong impression, since I didn't like him.

As for Anarchistism to Marxism. I don't know. I swing both ways and they seem compatible to me. I started Robert Paul Wolff's In Defense of Anarchism, but didn't finish. I liked it. I felt like I knew the guy back in yore and had some of these discussions before...
