Who Can Be Defended?

Jodi Dean, author of Comrade, The Communist Horizon, Crowds and Party, considers constraints on speaking and thinking in light of the requirement that certain concessions be made for one to be allowed to speak at all. Rather than providing a genealogy that considers such requirements in light of McCarthyism’s demonization of communists, U.S. imperialism’s labeling of resistance struggles as terrorist, or the university culture of cancellation and language policing that renders discomfort with what is said a sign of the violent infliction of suffering, Dean situates the refusal to countenance violence in the enervation of a Left that gave up on communism, the Party, and the state and turned to ethics and aesthetics instead. Jodi Dean, Enzo Rossi, Matthew Tsimitakis
