What do the French student movement, the strike in the SNCF, and the various movements in the public services really have in common?

On the seven-year anniversary of the 25 January Egyptian Revolution, Alain Badiou reflects on the movement that inspired The Rebirth of History.

Darko Vujica speaks with Alain Badiou about the past and future of communism. 

Alain Badiou debates Laurent Joffrin, a reformist (and editor of Libération newspaper), who defends existing social democracy.

Macron is the name of a crisis of any politics that purports to "represent" political orientations in an electoral space. That clearly owes to the fact that the earthly disappearance of the communist hypothesis and its parties has little by little made the truth about parliamentarism apparent: namely, that ultimately it only "represents" small nuances in the dominant consensus around neoliberal capitalism — and not any alternative strategy. The far Right, in the brutal style of Donald Trump or the renovated Pétainism of Marine Le Pen, profits from this situation, since although it stands totally within that consensus it is alone in giving off the appearance of being on the outside.
