"In Can Common People Govern? renowned French social theorist, philosopher and historian Jacques Bidet offers a theoretical and political exploration of political parties and social movements as forms of popular organization, an alternative to figures like Lenin and Xi Jinping, Gramsci and Althusser, and theorists of Left-wing populism. These political forms, he argues, are related to the structure of modern society in which the popular class is opposed in a "triangular duel" against a dominant class that includes two poles in conflictual connivance, "capital-power" and "competence-power"(or "elite"). This duality offers the common people an angle of attack for a risky alliance with this elite against capital. This class confrontation is put in the context of the ongoing ecological disaster. Can Common People Govern? is relevant to students of Marxism as well as wider readership interested in political thought and action"--
