This has a pretty clear discussion of authentic masters at about 1 hour
Your UA-cam channel is str8 fire, no one else got these Zizek videos. Zizek on Zardoz!?
1:04:40 *True masters* “We figure out what we want-and that’s how a true master works. You don’t try to guess what people want, you simply obey your own desire and then it is to the people to decide if you will follow it or not. In other words, the masters power stems from his fidelity to his desire. And again I hope you saw the distinction, this is why I think a true master is not an oppressive guy-he doesn’t tell you want you want, he tells you what he wants, what he really wants. His only privilege is to clearly know what he wants and then it’s up to you to follow him or not. And again, I don’t see anything oppressive or wrong in this.”
Another master repost account, love it.. we need 1000x more
I love Zizek but he misrepresents the Gezi protests immensely.
First of all, there were many slogans chanted in the protests but I have not heard "dignity" once. It was at least not a predominant one. Secondly, the protesters were a motley crew from all sorts of different idiologies, some at least as radical as Zizek, even some Tankies, yet they were so enraged by many years of economic depression and oppression that they decided to leave their specific dreams aside for the moment and tried to engage with the immediate problem. I don't think overwhelming majority of them were thinking, solving the immediate problem would be the be-all and end-all solution, but they wisely and without much coordination but mostly with common sense acted in unison. This may be the result of years of being under oppression, it teaches you a thing or two without you knowing it.
To understand the seriousness of the protests, and that for most of the participants it was not about the just the style of the government, it might help that 8 people died, many were improsened and injured. You don't put yourself into situations that you will die or suffer for the unkind style of the governor.
Having said all these things, I am not idealizing the protests but it is better to know what it actually was before commenting on it for minutes.
What were the results of Gezi or any other protest's ?
You think waving posts and shouting paroles will do ?
@@farrider3339 The effects of protests are often not clearly visible but they are there. The 60's civil right protests were more influential for the legislative achievements than MLK's "I have a dream speech". In Germany the anti refugee protests moved the overton window towards a reactionary right wing. On the other hand the students "Fridays for Future" protests moved the overton window towards making climate change awareness mainstream instead of being an ignored topic for decades.
Protests can be very impactful if the circumstances allow for it.
@@alibitter6361 which legislative achievements again?
I'm everyone's true master.

I used to consider Slavoj Žižek as the rationale in society, but lately I have witnessed his bias on topics where he does not discuss that what challenges his own narrative, and now equate it to govts. and politics as the supposed intellectual control of narrative. #dissapointed
Capitalism is not trashed by leftists, most Marxists know capitalism as essential for establishment of a cohesive society.
Marxist theory (independent/not participatory to multitude of anti private profit struggles,, ground zero pro workers disruptive strategists) supports creation of profit by workers for workers.
This dude is the most successful psrudointellectual ever. He literally just talks a lot whilst saying nothing.
That’s very ignorant.
This man has written 55 books and you really think he is just a pseudo intellectual? You're just too stupid to follow a high level walk through of philosophical concepts.
Capitalism bad
Very bad, in fact.
@@thomaswikstrand8397 even Marx said it wasn’t all bad and loved the American and French revolutions
@@johncracker5217 it's good at rapidly industrializing rural, agricultural economies. It's bad at benefitting society as a whole post industrialization. It's politically barely a step above feudalism and whatever you think is good and you attribute to capitalism is likely clawed from capitalism, not caused by it.
