PAVON-CUELLAR, David. Communism and psychoanalysis facing the subject of the neoliberal capitalist system. Clín. & Cult. [online]. 2019, vol.8, n.1, pp. 24-36. ISSN 2317-2509.

I clarify my different standpoints in relation to psychoanalysis and communism, conceiving the first as a means and the second as an end, although an end that is also a path, a practice, its theory and the underlying subjectivity. I turn to Badiou to defend the thesis that communist and psychoanalytic visions, linked respectively with the modern figures of Marx and Freud, offer alternative options to capitalist modernity and to the subjectivity that corresponds to it in neoliberalism. However, in examining some representations of this subjectivity, I conclude that they themselves constitute products of a neoliberal ideological thought that must be criticized with arguments such as those we obtain from Marxist and Freudian theories. This makes me critically approach Foucault, Dejours, Guinsberg, Lazzarato, Han, Dardot and Laval, and Chandler and Reid.

Keywords : capitalism; communism; psychoanalysis; Marxism; Marx; Freud.
