Deleuze: The Grandeur of Marx with Nick Thoburn

Was Gilles Deleuze a Marxist? Before his death in 1995, Deleuze had intended to write a book entitled The Grandeur of Marx, a work which would have consummated the role of Marx as long time mediator within Deleuze’s political writings. In the discussion, we unpack political concepts within Deleuze’s corpus, such as “minor politics“, “a people to come“, and “a new earth“ and explore their resonances with Marx’s work. Moreover, we follow Thoburn in advancing the perhaps controversial idea that Deleuze proffered a new form of communism.
