We kill Iraqis with our airplanes, but we don't cut their throats with machetes like they do in Rwanda, etc.»
Author: Alain Badiou

It is necessary to show that nothing there leads in the direction of the real emancipation of humanity. It is necessary to reconstruct rights, in everyday life as in politics, of Truth and of the Good. Our ability to once again have real ideas and real projects depends on it.»
Author: Alain Badiou
«Liberal capitalism is not at all the Good of humanity. Quite the contrary; it is the vehicle of savage, destructive nihilism.»
