[Michel Bauwens @mbauwens]

An excerpt from @cadellnlast , on why this path is politically important as well:

https://t.co/MMQ32l7dcB

"we need to cut through the current opposition between liberal democracy and new populism as a false dichotomy. In short, the Pop Right (Trump-Putin axis) is not superior to liberal democracy, and while liberal democracy is not an adequate solution, we must learn to work with it in order to overcome it. For Žižek, this involves rebuilding a more active link between civil society self-organisation and political parties actually working towards a sublation of capitalism for socialism.

To conclude, the specific role of “Christian Atheism” in this link between civil society self-organisation and political parties, should avoid the temptation of an authoritarian moralistic “Christian nationalism”, and instead recognise the religious or theological dimension of Christianity to operate on the level of civil society/community self-organisation itself for its own atheistic undermining on the level of socialist politics. The problem here for the Christian community is to avoid seeing itself as a totalising all (but rather opening to the non-All of socialism), and the problem here for the liberal atheist is to avoid seeing the theological ground of society itself as unnecessary or irrelevant to emancipatory politics (but rather seeing it as a necessary groundless ground for the cultivation of thought itself). In this dialectical relation Christ does not function as a moral authority but as a question and a problem that is unique to each singularity (modern subject of the death drive). For Žižek, this is why he ends his opening to Christian Atheism with the idea that the question of Christ functions singularly in our depths (private, not public), while our response to the question represents the true surface in our political activity."
