Thank you for the upload and even more thanks for having proper audio capture!
At 1:17:05 Uncle Slavoj makes a superb point and offers a critical insight for the future for anyone who wishes to resist the current “conservative” fascist trends in all western capitalist democracies, indeed the authoritarian trends found in ALL nations utilizing the capitalist economic model. Classic 20th century models of communism, liberal democracy and capitalism are dead (1:18:50 “… the marriage between capitalism and democracy seems to be over …) and we must substitute new ideas (which Zizek outlines briefly at this point of the video) of what democracy and freedom and a market economy need to be in order to resist the troubling oligarchic authoritarian and environmentally catastrophic trends we see around the world even in formerly reliably free democratic nations (like the US for example).
I love that Zizek is a fan of C. K. Chesterton. When I first read Chesterton, I fell in love with all his writings, and kept writing him like an addict... I thought how can someone so incredible as Chesterton not be more widely known, or at least included in the cannon, and read in schools, like we read Sherlock Holmes! The Father Brown Mysteries are amazing, but the Man Who was Thursday is amazing!!!
Zizek is certainly brilliant. Thus his books (of which I only have 2) and presentations are always guaranteed to deliver an elite wealth of knowledge While never failing to provide his fascinating Philo. Observations of the modern world. However, as an individual who is highly dissatisfied with the status quo of the current global order, I don't find Zizeks works to be in the realm of true rev. Works. Hence, I cannot find a salution for changing anything at even the most minimal personal leval. Great knowledge but to much postering.
The question in the end kinda makes me wonder why Žižek currently has no problem with giving interviews to Russia Today. Otherwise, brilliant as usual.
this is 2011 isnt it ?
