*Take this statement with a grain of salt. Badiou isn’t stating this as an absolute; he is answering his own question:
“What is the dominant ideology today?” He then states, “There is the free market, the technology, the money, the job, the blog, the reelections, the free sexuality, and so one. But I think all that can be concentrated in a single statement.” (And then he says: “There are only bodies and languages.”)
