I agree, and I’m also struggling to understand the strong need for labeling. For how I know Graeber, the fact that he definitely changed his views over time is nothing but a positive. If someone in Academia isn’t willing to challenge their views from 10 years prior that’s a pretty bad sign about that person’s thinking and intellectual work. This reeks a bit of that. It feels like this author values the frameworks more than the concepts.

Dogmatism and sectarianism are rife in political theory and in my view help explain why there hasn't been a successful way to challenge the excessive accumulation of wealth and political power that seems to insist on prevailing over any power structure designed to moderate it.
