“We are, somehow, to lift our minds to a point at which it is possible to understand that capitalism is at one and the same time the best thing that has ever happened to the human race, and the worst.”
Frederic Jameson, Postmodernism, Or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism

“...here are at least four other fundamental depth models which have generally been repudiated in contemporary theory: the dialectical one of essence and appearance (along with a whole range of concepts of ideology or false consciousness which tend to accompany it); the Freudian model of latent and manifest, or of repression (which is of course the target of Michel Foucault’s programmatic and symptomatic pamphlet La Volonté de savoir); the existential model of authenticity and inauthenticity, whose heroic or tragic thematics are closely related to that other great opposition between alienation and disalienation, itself equally a casualty of the poststructural or postmodern period; and finally, latest in time, the great semiotic opposition between signifier and signified, which was itself rapidly unravelled and deconstructed during its brief heyday in the 1960s and 70s.”
Frederic Jameson, Postmodernism, Or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism

“Il marxismo di fatto non è una filosofia politica del genere Weltanschauung, né tanto meno cammina “carponi” con l’ambientalismo, il progressismo, il radicalismo, il populismo o quel che sia. Esiste certamente una pratica marxista della politica, ma il pensiero politico del marxismo, quando non è pratico in tal senso, riguarda esclusivamente l’organizzazione economica della società e i criteri di cooperazione tra gli individui per organizzare la produzione. Ciò significa che il “socialismo” non è esattamente un’idea politica, o, se si preferisce, che presuppone la fine di un certo pensiero politico. Significa inoltre che noi abbiamo i nostri omologhi tra i pensatori borghesi, che però non sono i fascisti (i quali a tale riguardo dispongono di un pensiero piuttosto scarso, e in ogni caso sono storicamente estinti), bensì i neoliberisti e i sostenitori del mercato. Anche per loro la filosofia della politica è inutile (per lo meno una volta che ci si è sbarazzati delle argomentazioni del nemico marxista, collettivista), mentre “politica” significa ormai semplicemente cura e sostentamento dell’apparato economico (in questo caso il mercato, e non i mezzi di produzione posseduti e organizzati collettivamente). Anzi, sostengo che abbiamo molto in comune con i neoliberisti, per la verità pressoché tutto, tranne l’essenziale.”
