The Antifada
it's true. this was post-recording and i thought it was a fun segment to run anyway. varn is not one to not back up his words.

You’ve made similar comments on the antifada in the past. Is your commentary on vol IV paywalled? Almost 15 years since EN more or less left that debate behind with the release of vol II (see history of subsumption), and yet TC/Dauve are still among the first problems you bring up…

And we weren't told this was going to be released so I didn't feel the need to be rigorous.

But when you write in vague platitudes I guess there is always plausible deniability. What I was referring to here was the use of Camatte in the recent passion of communism article which also seems to have stuff incorrect on Bordiga (although the source of errors seems to be Camatte, not the authors).

I literally did an entire podcast series on over the course of a year. Word for word in history of separation in Endnotes vol 4 going down into specific footnotes - over 10 hours of material.-- and I am writing a chapter of a book on Bordiga which goes into Theorie Communist and Dauve debates in Volume 1 getting things like historical fact wrong. Try again.
