[lbo-talk] Michael Heinrich, David Harvey, and Slavoj Zizek in Brazil

[Carrol Cox]

Wojtek commits the basic intellectualist error of separating thought and
action. Thus he cannot recognize the origin of Thesis 11 in action, seeing
it rather as a disinterested comment from the bleachers by an isolated
intellectual. Thus he cannot see that KM is always already self-consciously
enmeshed in an ensemble of social relations (beginning in childhood, since
his father was part of the Anti-Prussian movement).
