#badiou — Public Fediverse posts

“Generic #Communism designates a #free #associative #egalitarian #society where the activity of #polymorph #workers is not governed by regulations and technical or social articulations but is managed by the #collective power of #needs. In such a society, the #State is dissolved as a separate instance from public coercion. #Politics – much as it voices the interests of social groups and covets at the conquest of power – is de facto dissolved.

Thus, the purpose of #Communist politics aims at its own disappearance in the modality of the end of the form separated from the State in general, even if it concerns a State that declares itself #democratic."

Why Is Saint Paul So Significant for Alain #Badiou?

Alain Badiou’s book on the Apostle #Paul presents him as a crucial figure for understanding our contemporary #political landscape, and how we ought to think in light of it.

btw, can anyone help me decode #Badiou's reference to "what #Marx called the polymorphous worker", i.e. which original German term is so translated?

I found this text by #Badiou very intriguing. Every time there is a #disaster that could be much less destructive with different political priorities, I think that our mid-term goal should be to ensure a fundamental political change. The text itself may be questionable in some parts, but the issues that it discusses should be discussed more thoroughly throughout the planet.
