Notes on the Introduction
Alex:
I have no page numbers for the quotes since I am using the French online version that is not numbered. Perhaps I could number the paragraphs if need…
On theory and practice:
I read Tronti here as writing against dogmatism and calling for “theory from below” which I liked and agree with.
“Against the aged and blunted bourgeois thought, the worker point of view can, without a doubt, live now the era of its robust youth. For this, it is necessary to break violently from its immediate past, to refuse the traditional role officially assigned to it, surprise the enemy by developing an improvised theoretical framework, unforeseen and uncontrolled.”
“Knowledge is tied to struggle. To truly know is to hate truly.”
