He seems to want to attribute to Perlman the fact that he was an anarchist (he did not identify as one) that was not obsessed on the primacy of class analysis and could be critical of other forms of oppression. So the big contribution he'd rather to emphasize is simply not being a plain orthodox Marxist (wow, he started translating a heterodox Marxist! and parodied the new left! but translating Debord while he demanded he didn't, and being influenced by Camatte, though still leftist, is somehow less interesting?) and reading more widely, including other sociologists? He begrudgingly acknowledges his influence in primitivists (comments on primitivism starts around timestamp: https://youtu.be/O2OQFB_6CWc?t=3066) and again stains them by association by alluding to ITS, even if not mentioning the name.
I like he mentioned the early playfulness of the collages and comic type images, "memes" we'd call them now, and all the care put into beautiful printed images.
