This article provides a critical examination of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's and John Holloway's theory of revolutionary subjectivity, and does so by applying their theories to the Occupy movement of 2011. Its central argument is that one should avoid collapsing 'autonomist' and 'open' Marxism, for whilst both approaches share Tronti's insistence on the constituent role of class struggle, and also share an emphasis on a prefigurative politics that engages a non-hierarchical and highly participatory politics, there nevertheless remain some significant differences between their approaches. Ultimately, when applied to the Occupy movement, whilst their theory isn't entirely unproblematic, I will argue that Hardt and Negri's 'autonomist' approach offers the stronger interpretation, due mainly to their revised historical materialism
