In Jodi Dean’s provocative new book called Comrade, she argues that the word “comrade” is an indispensable one that describes a unique political relationship not captured by words like citizen, colleague, friend, brother/sister, or even ally. If the future of revolutionary change is through the vehicle of the revolutionary political party, she says, then the understanding of what “comrade” really means is vital.

Excellent Interview – I enjoyed listening. Thank you
Thanks, Christina. The interview was recorded two weeks ago, before the current wave of protests, but what she says is quite relevant to our current condition.
