Dr. Frank's What's-it: "So, this is where revolutionary Marxism comes to die..."

"So, this is where revolutionary Marxism comes to die..."

Johann Hari met Antonio Negri for a drink in London, and was able to turn their nutty conversation into this amusing column.

I choked when I got to this part:

"George Monbiot, one of the most important intellectuals in the anti-globalisation movement..."

Ah, so there *are* no intellectuals in the anti-globalization movement. As I suspected.

From the response to the article linked at the bottom of the page:

"...a constitutional phrase-maker & professional Middle-Brow guilelessly locks horns with an actual thinker."

He criticizes Hari for the mockery. My question is, had Hari written a serious article without any mockery of Negri's ideas, would Negri sound any less ridiculous?
