 A symposium held in London last year, another that was held recently in Paris had as theme ideas news communism. That such events take place twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall is still a thing of wonder. Although it would be wise not to surprised by anything.
Marxism again, a few weeks ago titled Le Monde, a leading standard for intellectuals. Among them, Alain Badiou, Jacques Rancière, Toni Negri, Gianni Vattimo, Slavoy Zizek, Jean-Luc Nancy. Sure, we immediately draw attention to the name of Toni Negri, arrested in Italy in 1979, an investigation into terrorism, originally sentenced to 30 years in prison for "subversive association" and "plotting against the state", suspected to have been involved in assassination of Aldo Moro. Let us not stop but collateral considerations.
Philosophers mentioned above considers communism "an old word, magnificent." Alain Badiou is could not be more emphatic: "Without the horizon of communism, without this idea, nothing in politics is not becoming of historical interest relating to a philosopher." In turn, commenting on Shakespeare's drama, British philosopher Terry Eagleton sublime nature of communist states, only he, "may allow us again to our natural perception of our bodies."
What becomes immediately apparent even from these brief quotations, the pull of communism as historical reality. Millions of victims is due, of course, incorrect application of generous ideas of communism. The chorus is well known. In fact, Marxist philosophy today no longer insists on the implementation of the communist ideal. They prefer to float in the abstract, to divagheze around some general, to make globalization etc. Some prophet Marx Mao nostalgia, others maintain the cult of Hugo Chavez, Others, finally, appear as supporters of radical Islam. Use of acrobatic pirouettes, as is Alain Badiou said: "The idea of Communism expresses a truth in a structure of fiction." A "structure of fiction?" We can not do anything but to send him on Badiou to read or reread, Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago.
Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek about how he believes that the ghost of communism is still haunting and cites these words from a piece of Beckett: "He tried again. The rate again. A better rate. To miss out again? Thank you. I missed the top and stuff, for several generations.
