'On The Idea Of Communism' - Birkbeck Institute - Alain Badiou

[elcaballodecaligula]

I agree completely. Today, in order to reinforce and empower the "communist hypothesis", or an emancipatory project which is anti-capitalist and communist, we must install ourselves very clearly in the ground of the subjective quesiton: the question of the state and political subjectivity. I believe that's a crucial matter in order to understand what is a communist "future".

Alain Badiou for my revolution !

[michelangeli23]

Badiou is an incomprensible fool; a pseudo-intellectual; a fraud.

[spinozareagan]

I take it you do not have any interest in backing up these assertions-- Which is typical...

But could you explain, for example, why Badiou is a "fraud"?
