"Who are the communists? They are those women and men who open the forms of life to liberation from labour and who develop the conditions for an ongoing revolutionary struggle to this end, and so invent and construct institutions that are radically democratic - which we can call institutions of the common.
Putting it another way, the communists are those who bring together political revolution and liberation from labour, an institution of the common, and a liberation of the production of life from capitalist command.
Before I expand on this definition, permit me first a few observations about a number of political positions that claim to be refounding a communist discourse, whereas - in my opinion - they actually remove all possibility of talking about communism...."
