A reading of The Communist Manifesto in search of the great conflicts of our time.
The communist manifesto was right: capitalism is entering its final crisis. But from this process of collapse and decadence, from this perverse globalization dotted with precariousness and corruption, capable of re-emerging forms of personal domination, an improved and new society does not seem willing to emerge. Communism, affirms Žižek, is not a solution today, but it is the name of a problem: that of the threatened common heritage of culture, nature, the universal space of humanity. To defend it, we do not have to repeat Marx: we have to repeat his founding gesture in a new way.
"A provocative book that poses one of the most audacious jokes in history." (Fernando R. Lafuente, ABC – Cultural)
