Turns out I didn’t see this reply at the time, but: yes! The focus on individuals blinds us to the processes. I’ve an interest in the splits that occurred that we’re talking about here and I honestly have no idea what forces out there in the world could have led to them: the Great Man approach is blinding.

On that note… any idea what a good not-Great Man book covers this kind of thing?

Yep, based. Anti-nato, anti-imperialist (including French neocolonialism in Africa AIUI), even anti-EU (which he’s right in saying is deeply neolib). Lots of pro-worker policies. Not French but I vaguely follow this guy’s progress.
