What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani cites Bruno Guigue in two sessions, in 2020 and in 2024. In 2020, he draws on the text "Blanchiment occidental du terrorisme islamiste. Le théorème de Bachar el-Assad" (The Western whitewashing of Islamist terrorism: Bashar al-Assad's theorem), published in Initiatives communistes, which he finds clear on collective amnesia1. He takes two ideas from it: the war in Syria acted like a chemical developer on the protagonists lying in wait2, and the mediasphere tried to make al-Nusra look like a respectable organisation3. In 2024, in the session "TROP TARD ?" (Too late?), he returns to Guigue on a different question: the millions of deaths in Korea and Vietnam are not blunders4. He takes up the idea that a quasi-genocidal violence is immanent to what Guigue calls the West, and links it to his own cycle on Ulysses5. Finally, he recommends reading him because he shows how a good-natured air covers the worst6.
