I may be misunderstanding his argument. I admit I only partially read the 17-page paper, and missed any acknowledgement of an anarchist contribution to the discussion.

I've also altered my comment since you replied but before I received your reply, so I apologize for any confusion this adds to the discussion.

He mentions/cites Kropotkin and talks about "decentralized, democratic worker self-management" which I think is code for Anarchists without mentioning the word itself.
