France's leading Marxist public intellectual.
*Tariq Ali*
Daniel's death is like a wound, not a sadness. A loss which leaves
us heavier. However, this weight is the opposite of a burden; it is
a message composed, not with words, but with decisions and acts and
injuries.
*John Berger*
Daniel Bensaïd was my 'distant companion' ... With his
disappearance, the intellectual, activist, political, and what we
might call, even though the adjective is today obscure in meaning,
'revolutionary' world has changed.
*Alain Badiou*
