Never trusted philosophers even though I'm one of them. The response to covid finally shed a good deal of illusion. Old philosophers on one side such as Agamben and Badiou and a new gen of philosophers who are for the most part sober, serious, grim and above all mostly honest.

How was Badiou's response not sober? You immediately said you were writing a "response" but it seems unobjectionable to me. He said not to expect Covid to bring a political revolution. You disagree?

The man is still thinking that there is class struggle out of which we can use the same old methods of political mobilization. This is when I reach for my Postone revolver.

Don't think he mentions methods of political mobilization? Not sure what you would reject in a definition of class struggle as broad as his. Insofar as there is politics, it is stratified by subjects, no?

How is that relevant to your point? He is saying the groups attacking Macron, who have already been attacking Marcron, don't have any place to take moral highground any more than any other activist group so they shouldn't appropriate it as if they saw it coming

The context from which he emerges is decrepit 101. His enmity to Macron so as his stanning of Pol Pot in the 70s were all on a dogmatic kitsch marxist footing. I'd be happy to Skype about this as I'm lazy when it comes to typing.

I feel you are reading what you'd like him to have said into this article. Isn't he defending Macron against these lazy attacks saying he's doing about as well as anyone in his position can be expected to. Happy to Skype kyrillpotapov
