NEW LACANIAN COMMUNISM

Abstract

This article analyzes, in the context of the current systemic and financial crisis and the
deepening of neoliberal policies, the proposal of several thinkers (Bosteels, Dean, Badiou y
Žižek) in relation to the idea of a communism linked to the Lacanian real. It is then set up
that this new Lacanian communism evades the problems derived from the current crisis
and from the resulting exacerbation of neoliberalism, and therefore it goes away from the
Marxism with which it could be associated. In brief, the new Lacanian communism is a
new philosophical idealism, which denies the anti-establishment political action and the
social change.
