    I read this book along with Debt and Utopia Of Rules and I would say that his politics were very utopian and I think he always overstated the impact of OWS. He had a lot of interesting stuff to say for sure and his classic quote about simply unmaking what has been made is great.

    I think he leans too much into the spontaneity of revolutionary action and that in some sort of messianic way, change will come.

    Just my opinion and all that

      I enjoyed Debt for its anthro study of money, and traditionally anarchists have always been utopian to MLs in various ways.

      Was just commenting on my own campus experience (I was a student/worker on campus for 12 years) that didn't seem to vibe with the article writer's experience, but maybe things have changed.
