I'd pay to see him debate kamala
He had tobacco and liquor instead
I'm still behind by about ten pages, but I'll be finishing chapter 5 tonight!
So Graeber's analysis evolved and grew? That doesn't seem like the bad thing this review makes of it. He still seems like an anarchist even if he is saying that the conception of the state and its history is a flawed category, and how "equality" in contemporary discourse ends up as calls for technocratic tinkering unconcerned with any potential for non-capitalist social formation.
Like the reviewer clearly sees his position develop over time and then invokes Hayek as if that's a fair comparison:
Here, he appears almost to be ridiculing himself and the Occupy movement (if also Thomas Piketty), or Graeber and Wengrow appear to be ridiculing earlier Graeber. Do I hear a touch of Friedrich Hayek?
a lot of academics are soft anarchists or radlibs who think they are anarchists
This was my experience as well
Well observed! If you care to be more specific about it, it's a music video from a time, and a place, made by a situated people with particular characteristics. It isn't some unsituated thing that occupies a nowhere in notime by a universal human
Lmao
A revisionist. Marx doesn't specify what color the linen is, so the orthodox position is "natural" not grey.
