Discourses of revolutionary subject in contemporary Marxism
Abstract
While within the framework of a New Socialist Strategy, the issue of communism has been the subjectof a comprehensive debate among the most pioneering thinkers of contemporary Marxism, the equally
critical issue of revolution and anti-capitalist struggles has not yet entered the heart of Marxistinfluenced
analysis of the late capitalism. This sounds like a paradox because it can’t be properly
understood how the transition to a communist society will take place, without prior political
hegemonic articulatory discursive strategy of rupture with capitalism. From this angle, we will
attempt in the present article to constitute the conditions of a (post) Marxist dialogue on revolution,
revolutionary subject and anti-capitalism in the era of neo-liberal globalization through Ernesto
Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s oeuvre. For this purpose, we will take into account the relevant projects
of important contemporary Marxist theorists as the well-known neo-Marxist geographer and
anthropologist David Harvey; the Marxist-oriented sociologist and philosopher John Holloway; and
last but not least the famous post-modern political philosophers Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri.
