Abstract

As the West loses its political credibility, the search has opened for alternatives to neo‐liberal parliamentary democracies, failing on their own scale of good governance. Several contemporary critical thinkers, such as Alain Badiou, turn towards a communist horizon. In this paper, we want to explore the idea of commons in contemporary Internet‐based groups, as a quest for contemporary appearances of communism in the Badiouian sense. From wiki formats to the hacktivism of Anonymous, there are various Internet‐based initiatives that are built on a philosophy of open access to all, regardless of their identity, and a horizontal, rhizomatic organisation. We think that the organisational features of these initiatives make them suitable to carry out a struggle for new, more democratic political alternatives.

打开量访问共产主义

随着西方失去其政治信誉，人们开始寻找新自由主义议会民主制的替代品，这些国家在良好治理的规模上失败了。一些当代批判思想家，如阿兰·巴迪欧，转向了共产主义的视野。在本文中，我们想要探索当代基于互联网的群体中的公地概念，以寻求巴第欧安意义上的共产主义的当代表现。从维基格式到匿名的黑客行动主义，有各种基于互联网的倡议，这些倡议建立在开放访问所有人的哲学之上，无论他们的身份如何，以及一个水平的、根茎状的组织。我们认为，这些倡议的组织特点使它们适合进行争取新的、更民主的政治选择的斗争。
