Love this essay (Tronti died a couple of weeks ago).
"Speaking for myself, I know that I would never have the freedom that I feel, inside myself, without having passed through, in my thought and my life, the historic experience of communism."

admittedly I didn't know he was still alive, but I'm surprised I'm only hearing of his passing now
RIP

I don't have time to read this right now, but the Marx/Kafka thing is so perfect I can't believe I haven't encountered that before! thanks for posting this

Yes was laughing at the Marx-Kafka observation earlier. Great essay.
