The article presents the notions of “people” and “populism” developed by Laclau and Zizek’s critique of the notion of “people”, from his defense of the category of “social class”. Later, the article sets forth the links between Butler’s queer theory, Mouffe’s radical democratic citizenship and Laclau’s populism. The paper explains the feminist critiques directed against the displacement of the category “women” effected by these philosophies. Finally, we deal with the discrepancies between Marxism and feminism on what is the main antagonism of society (social class or sexual class) in Millett, MacKinnon and Firestone’s works. Consequently, the paper develops the tensions and displacements between the categories “people”, “social class” and “sexual class” and the capacity of each of them to facilitate the transformation of society.
