The object of this thesis is Alain Badiou's claim of the communist idea as the principle of politics, his identification of communism as the modern name of the concept of justice in Plato. Characterizing the regime of Capital as the inconsistency of the present world, the communist hypothesis defended by Badiou states that the failures experienced in the attempts to construct a new world, a project of emancipation, should serve to assess the reasons of this failure, and never lead to relinquishment of further attempts. In the face of the failure in the attempt of making real a true idea, trying again is a feature of Badiou’s thinking and action. This thesis also analyzes the evolution of Badiou’s political thought and the nature of this evolution, still in course. It is also demonstrated that Badiou was affected by political processes and events of the class struggle in his militant period of life, the changes in the=o9çituation and the effects of these changes in his formulations: the changes in his communist project. At the same time, it is evidenced the continuity in his thought, pointing out the most detachable indications of Badiou's fidelity to the communist idea, as well as to Marxism as a fundamental reference of his thought, of his general coordinates of political thinking and action. The central thesis is his loyalty to this idea. The thesis concludes with a case study, using the philosophical categories of the transformation theory formulated by Alain Badiou. This case study is the evaluation of the characteristics and meaning of the popular and youthful uprising experienced by Brazil in June 2013, analyzing whether this social and political process was what Badiou defined as the "event" or whether it was a normal fact, one more modification, trying to visualize its possible features and the subjects involved in its effects. It is also shown that June 2013 represented and continues to represent a political process which produces truths and, in this sense, has a close relationship with philosophy.
