Those who want a fundamental change from the status quo would have to follow the French Marxist thinker Alain Bodiou when he says that, today to fight for change "one has to renew the position of the master – it is not true that one can do without it, even and especially in the perspective of emancipation." This does not mean that the leader knows everything, or that the followers are unthinking sheep, but it's a realisation that to achieve the collective desire for liberation there is a need for a unifying symbol. As Slovanian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, and incidentally a friend of Badiou tells us, "a proper politician does not only advocate people's interests, it is through him that they discover what they 'really want'".
