The simple answer is No. Richard Seymour is a great writer and analyst. But he has a soft spot for Harvey, in imperialism as well, which is completely unwarranted. They set up a straw man, the immediate collapse of capitalism, and then say, what would the left do to prevent human catastrophe. How is this an argument? Struggle against it. Pressure the state however you can. And build up our own capacities, through collective self-help actions, as are happening around the world. Yes, let's save a system that is killing us, every damned day, in every way imaginable. That makes a lot of sense. Shades of that charlatan, Yanis Varoufakis. I have seen John Smith's criticisms of Harvey. are these precious, as Seymour says the criticisms of Harvey's recent video are now? Precious?
