Abstract

April 21 marked the end of a political cycle in which the Left was identified with the workers’ movement. Communism and the party-form which became integrated into the state are now exhausted. The divide between the teen, social movements and the traditional sectors of the working class has widened. A party can no longer gather into itself the multiplicity of forms of politicization. This crisis of representation is a result of an ignorance of the new ways of constructing the common. It is necessary to pose the question of a political constitution of the people that would correspond to the new forms of subjectivity. The refoundation of communism necessitates both the definition of a specific project and a politics of unity.
