This periodization of vanguard
political
figures clarifies our difference
from
the propositions of Slavoj
Zizek
and Ernesto
Laclau.
Zizek's return
to
Lenin
is not so much a reversion to Lenin's method (designing
political
composition
on the basis
of
the current technical composition of the pro-
letariat) but, on the contrary, a repetition of the vanguard
political
forma-
tion
without reference to the composition of
labor.
Laclau
instead remains
faithful
to the conception of hegemony typical of the next
phase,
specifi-
cally
the one promoted by the Italian Communist Party in its populist
rather
than its workerist face.
