"What is our task today? Reading Trump as the symptom of global capitalism's political crisis, Badiou compellingly argues that our task is to bring into existence a strategic choice between capitalism and communism. Anything less confines us to the present's democratic fascism. This crucial intervention eschews fear and despair as it finds hope in the creation of a divisive, communist politics."
Jodi Dean, author of Crowds and Party
"Approachable and insightful, and will satisfy both general readers and readers more knowledgeable about political theory."
