Description: The Communist Horizon by Jodi Dean Rising thinker on the resurgence of the communist idea FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Jodi Dean unshackles the communist ideal from the failures of the Soviet Union. In the new capitalism of networked information technologies, our very ability to communicate is exploited, but revolution is still possible if we organise on the basis of our common and collective desires. Examining the experience of the Occupy movement, Dean argues that such spontaneity cant develop into a revolution and it needs to constitute itself as a party. An innovative work of pressing relevance, The Communist Horizon offers nothing less than a manifesto for a new collective politics. Notes Originally part of the Pocket Communism series, including books by Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek, The Communist Horizon finds Jodi Dean unshackling the communist ideal from the failures of the Soviet Union, demonstrating communisms continuing and urgent relevance.
