Doug, its good to have you back among the proles. For a while, with
all your talk of ‘empire’ and such, I was afraid you had drunk a bit too much of the LBO Kool-Aid ;-).
I assume you mean Hardt & Negri’s Empire, not the US empire as
conventionally understood. I haven’t given up on the cap-E version by
any means. In fact, all the people who were kicking H&N while they
thought they were down during the run-up to the Iraq war - when it
did for a moment look like Washington really was in charge - have had
to eat some plentiful helpings of crow (or the vegan equivalent).
