Kommunismens idé
Att göra åtskillnad mellan kommunismens löften och 1900-talets totalitära tragedier är ingen enkel uppgift. Men i en värld som hotas av miljömässiga katastrofer, nya former av apartheid och oöverstigliga klyftor mellan inkluderade och exkluderade finns det ett akut behov av nya idéer som kan vägleda strävan efter ett verkligt fritt och jämlikt samhälle. I denna volym ger femton av dagens viktigaste vänsterteoretiker sin syn på kommunismens begrepp. Utifrån olika infallsvinkar diskuterar de möjligheten av att gentemot kapitalismens kriser och privatiseringar återupprätta kommunismen som namnet på den radikala filosofin och politiken. I kontrast till den rådande uppdelningen i privat och offentligt pekar kommunismen fram mot ?det gemensamma? i den mänskliga tillvaron, de delade resurser och förmågor som kan göra en annan värld möjlig.
"Var inte rädda, anslut er till oss, kom tillbaka! Ni har haft era antikommunistiska eskapader, och vi förlåter er för dem; men nu är det dags för allvar igen!" — Slavoj Zizek
