On a Syria solidarity list I made the following comment: "By the way, Graeber and Ocalan share a penchant for half-baked historical schemas, which can't help but skew their overall outlook and practice." I read a couple of Ocalan's books and was shocked at the amateurish nature of his analysis (including his bowdlerization of Engels), as well as the opportunistic proposal to negotiate with existing regimes, all justified with his slippery autonomy/confederalism proposal, which evades the question of state power. If it hasn't already been done, someone should draft a critique of Ocalanism as a theory. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
