The irony is a bit thicker than some of you may assume; I plagiarised this article myself out of a book called Days of War Nights of Love, by the Crimthinc Workers Collective, who are naturally quite happy for people to plagiarise their work. I've just got back to London from a trip to New Zealand and wasn't aware this had taken place, so I'll contact the editors immediately. Clearly there's been a misunderstanding. Wow.
