Unfortunately, as I have pointed out repeatedly, just because Hardt and
Negri use the word subsumption or alienation or imperialism or class or
labor or dialectics or revolution or communism, it does not mean that they
use it in the same sense that Marxists use it. When you read "Empire", you
will figure this out at once.  Anybody who describes Spinoza as a
"communist" has to be taken with a ton of salt.
