There's only a preview, unfortunately: http://bit.ly/jqBUeF Still, a very valuable book.
Is it available on Google Books?
May I offer you a suggestion on planning the rest of your critique of my article. Instead of three parts, make it four, based on my album. The second can focus on Chavez as inspired by Proudhon and Lassalle. The third can focus on my suggested Bloc. The fourth can focus on managed democracy and the remaining figures in the album.

Well, that's at least a position - we can take it up in the thread if you like.
"When I challenged you on the question of organic connections between socialist parties and the workers' movement": Back in the late 19th century and early 20th century, it was said that "Social Democracy [the party] is the merger of socialism and the worker movement." Only mass parties can be this, and moreover real parties are real movements and vice versa.
I've been noticing that your replies tend to focus on side issues - for instance bringing up your "opposition to workers councils" when I challenged you on the question of organic connections between socialist parties and the workers' movement. You haven't responded to the substantive questions in this and a few other threads; I think this needs to be nipped in the bud.
Labour unrest, labour struggles, etc. /= proper class struggle (every class struggle is political not economic)
Thanks for that first post. That certainly gives Dimentio as well as run for his money re. listing the various plebeian classes in ancient Rome.
"I have to note that there is no content about Roman history in your latest reply, and as such I think we've managed to go completely off-topic from, you know, the actual subject of this thread. I'd be interested with pursuing the third world Caesarism concept in a separate thread but I don't want to drag this one completely off-topic." I'll reply re. Rome shortly. Here's the separate thread: http://www.revleft.com/vb/peoples-hi...332/index.html
