Radical political thought is always about more than the setting forth of a programme, more than the diagnosis of the ills of society, more than the sketching of the architecture of a just polity. It should also be about the education of political desire… and the expansion of the social imaginary. This is not a question of positing the impossible but realistically and rigorously both exploring and expanding the ever changing limit of the possible.
