Summary
Bruno Bosteels: Actuality of Communism
»Can the abolition or removal and replacement of the current state create an equally real movement for the reorganization of social relations? Where lies the reality or, in fact, the actuality of communism? In current conditions, is this reality necessarily limited to a pure movement of criticism and destruction, or is there room for a united front of joint affirmation and overcoming? "
One of the most important thinkers of modern critical theory and a new stream of thought that renews interest in communism. In his research and works, he deals with contemporary philosophy, literary criticism and political theory. Bostels questions the reaffirmation of communist thought through the prism of the "speculative left", that is, he criticizes the impossibility of giving up lofty abstractions and thoroughly rethinking the categories of mass, class and state.
