The wrong side of capitalism

Comparative politics

> A political situation is always singular; it is never repeated. Therefore, political writings —
> directives or commands — are justified inasmuch as they inscribe, not a repitition, but, on the
> contrary, the _unrepeatable_. When the content of a political statement is a repitition, the
> statement is rhetorical and empty. It does not form part of a thinking.

— Alain Badiou, ‘Philosophy and Psychoanalysis’
