I’m an anthropologist, sometimes I occupy things & such.

I see anarchism as something you do not an identity...

(…) like one guy who seems to think I’m against all binding moral obligations. Huh? How could you read the book & think that???

looking at CT discussion again. Fascinating how some people hear your politics and then read your book completely thru their biases

which is why just saying I want all debts wiped out and somehow just “don’t know” it’d effect retirees is a tad ungenerous!

This is not to say that I am advocating any specific formula of Jubilee, I assume the parameters would be worked out politically

Glanced at CT discussion in my jetlagged state – some surprisingly good. Yes, it’s a genealogy. No Henry I don’t think its the Gundrisse

British people are proud that they’re do bad at bureaucracy. Americans are secretly ashamed they’re so good at it

Miserable mood today – the British visa people changed their rules, Goldsmiths somehow didn’t know, now I’m stuck in UK for foreseeable

(…) those that say “how dare he challenge the authority of (my reading of) Marx?!” Be nice to see a critique of the actual arguments

So far there’ve been 2 main types of critical review of Debt: those that say “how dare he challenge the authority of economists?!” and (…)

Turns out I owe the German activist community a major apology. The bebelplatz book-burner wasn’t a crazy German but a crazy American

One example: I remember hearing there was a squat in Germany somewhere where oral sex was banned on vegan grounds

They also object to not knowing what I did w the money (haven’t got it yet) and that it has an image on the cover w a mask they assume is me

amusing German people burn my book: “we don’t see him on the ground organizing.” How would they? They’re in Germany. http://t.co/5yJjGqIv

So it seems to evidence a certain generalization of what had been very specific sorts of class habitus even in radical forums

Obviously it only works on people who are not members of the elite, who come from a background where it’s not all just a game.

Sun 19 Aug 2012 03:50

Seeing members of the liberal elite play this game is unsurprising, but it seems to have been adopted by class-struggle anarchists!
