为什么投票?
Jack Herrera
24 April 2017
Alain Badiou, one of France's premiere philosophers and public intellectuals, recently wrote a column inLe Monde评论法国大选在浏览了前四名候选人的特点和相对优势之后，他得出了一个具有讽刺意味的结论:没有理由去投票。
Badiou believes that voting within the capitalist system simply re-enforces that system's conservative and oppressive hegemony. Instead, Badiou argues for a "re-invention" of politics. For Badiou, this means resurrecting communism as a viable alternative to modern Western conservative-liberal politics.
Read David Broder's translation of Badiou's argument on Verso Book's website:http://www.versobooks.com/blogs/3167-vote-or-reinvent-politics
