me and negri speaking at Communism conference
I'm the one second on the left with yellow shirt. Nest to me is Toni Prug and Esther Leslie. On the right (!) is Toni Negri and Arianna Bove. Will tell you all about it soon...
Antonio fucking Negri??? That is so fucking sweeeeeeeet. Although, I have to say I'm not a huge fan of Empire, but I appreciate its focus on cross-national-cultural resistance, etc. But, still, Antonio fucking Negri man!
I KNOW-how cool!! Michael Hardt spoke on Friday and was excellent. He agreed to chair our session on the Free Our Books campaign but i'm happy Esther did it in the end-she's a great comrade.
Anyway, this philosophy stuff-it's all rock and roll you know...
Theoretical communism never works in real life. Just ask anyone with actual communist experience about their "fun" and "equal" lives up until 1989. I'm sure they will appreciate your "efforts" in reopening this (almost) closed chapter of history. Anyone who defends communism makes me sick. Sorry Clare.

Oh, by the way, for a good critical read on Empire check out:

I'm pretty sure that's the brilliant and talented Arianna Bove, one of the dynamos behind the excellet generation-online.org web site.
I look forward to reading what else you have to say on the event.
take care,

These are "efforts", apparently. Anyone who defends capitalism makes me sick. Perhaps there's a future in vomit.
A futures market in vomit-erm, fancy a gamble anyone?
Dominika, surely the point is that you didn't live through actual Communism
