Mouffe prescribes the “need for an agonistic pluralistic fight that confronts different hegemonic political projects” --- That confrontation includes the ones that must be promoted in A MULTIPOLAR WORLD ORDER. For Chantal, ‘power and antagonism have an ineradicable character, in spite of the rationalist and individualist liberal discourse”. (Mouffe, Chantal, The Return of the Political, Verso, London, 1993).

What do some of you think about Chantal Mouffe’s promotion of agonistic conflict not aimed at destroying the other but keeping in mind the hegemonic power of the oligarchy?
