The Communist Hypothesis by Alain Badiou
We know that communism is the right hypothesis. All those who abandon this hypothesis immediately resign themselves to the market economy. This title presents a hypothesis that is partly a demand to reconceptualize communism after the twin deaths of the Soviet Union and neoliberalism, and also a demand for universal emancipation.
