This authors would suppose from his analysis the Marxist critique. but adding to it a Kantian dimension: the question of subjectivity. More specifically according to the article below, the order of subjectivity replaced by control or by authoritarianism, plunging society into a state of glare. In this situation any theory of revolution that has as a premise the emergence of a revolutionary subject is condemned beforehand.
