Badiou:
[...]
Capitalism is part of neolithic culture. That's why Marx thought it was
still prehistoric in nature. And so, of course, it can always be argued
that that's the way things have been for thousands of years. It's true!
That's the way things have been for thousands of years and thats why
communism is not a simple matter of storming the Winter Palace.
Naturally, the Winter Palace has to be stormed, but even if you do storm
it you'll still be in the Neolithic Age because the very concept of
"palace" is a Neolithic concept. "
