After sending my comments about DeBord or Althusser, and then receiving a
number of incredulous responses from CGF members, I had to check my source.
A colleague of mine who is just about to complete his PhD on 'libertarian
socialist movements' has set me straight. A friend of his was one of
DeBord's translators and while visiting Debord and his wife (DeBord was
married twice for those who think the institution might have been too
bourgeois for him...), DeBord was indeed the one who said the now infamous:
"I make the revolutions, my wife cleans up after me".
Best wishes,
Lawrence
