Resumen:

This chapter considers Peter Hallward?s provocative defense of voluntarism. The dialectical component of Hallward?s voluntarism appears in the relationship between people and will. He conceives them through their active willing, that is, their active identification with an emergent general interest. Hallward?s dialectical voluntarism suggests an understanding of the sovereignty of the people in terms of a collective egalitarian Universalist desire. Marx?s description of communism as the free development of each compatible with the free development of all expresses this mutual determination or dialectical voluntarism. Communism, the one term that designates the people?s collective determination of their common condition, designates the sovereignty of the people. When the people are the subject of communism, their sovereignty is not that of the dispersed individuals of liberal democracy. The challenge for communists is thus not to identify a particular class vanguard but to clarify why communism is the best alternative to capitalism and to participate in organizing and furthering the struggle toward it. © alexandros Kioupkiolis and Giorgos Katsambekis 2014.
