Résumé anglais Some Occasional Remarks on Communism. The following preparatory notes are offered as a reaction to a somewhat surprising event : the renewed interest in « communism » and its symbolism. These remarks seek to define the conditions for a genuine debate, one that will avoid confusions and impostures. “Who are the communists ?” in a given political conjuncture. That is a question which, today, in the framework of a global capitalist crisis, must be given primacy over the question “what is communism ?” We must remind ourselves, furthermore, that this was already the case in the Communist Manifesto. A genealogy must nevertheless be attempted, if we are to trace back Marxian communism to its multifold (Western) background. To conclude, these remarks offer a diagnosis of the theoretical aporias in Marx, which are also the conditions for a critical incorporation of his theory within new emancipatory projects.
