Your question is: why am I so
interested in politics?
But if I were to answer you very simply, I would say this: why
shouldn’t I be interested?
That is to say, what blindness, what deafness, what density of
ideology would have to weigh me down to prevent me from being
interested in what is probably the most crucial subject to our
existence, that is to say the society in which we live, the
economic relations in which it functions, and the system of power
which defines the regular forms and the regular permissions and
prohibitions of our conduct.
The essence of our life consists after all, of the political
functioning of the society in which we find ourselves. So I
can’t answer the question of why should I be interested; I
could only answer it by asking why shouldn’t I be
interested? Not to be interested in politics, thats what
constitutes a problem. You should ask someone who is not
interested in politics;
“Why, damn it, are you not
interested?"
