no problem. i shouldn't have written that. maybe it was a lack of
english skills. falling in the binary reformism/revolution is going

in fact i haven't tought that way. anyway that 10-15 years goal is
really unambitious.

if think he meant we don't need anyone else point to us and saying:
"this is good, that is bad. do this, don't do that." we should decide
that ourselves.

wouldn't the book be a result of Oekonux Konferenz? i think i'd be able
to publish a portuguese translation. i know the owner of a publishing
house that makes lot of money selling mangas. he was trotskist and now
is kind of situationist. and published some radical books like "Luther
Blisset's" ones nd TAZ and a few others. i think he would be very
interrested about publishing Oekonux book. about a brazilian
contribuition - well, im' busy with the anti-ftaa protests untill
november 1st, after that i'd be able to write something. is there a dealine?

that's cool. just don't use any adobe format :-)

we need to think about a middle term.
