I don't always agree with Zizek but arguments he made here are brilliant. The rising pan-european movement is the only remaining progressive unifying force that wants to play the notes established by the Enlightenment, that's why I'm staunchly pro-European. EU is the sole dominant internationalist political body concerned with positive liberty, stemming the tide of corporate interests and assault on human rights. What else do we have? We're trapped between the US, Russia and China - all increasingly authoritarian, isolationist, fiercely particularist, with the society sacrificed on the altar of capitalism rather than vice versa. Rejecting this legacy on the basis of anticolonialism is just radlib insanity.

0:48 "Prevent workers from being exploited too much" Even thou I don't agree I love the subtle argument that workers are exploited no matter what
@davidwuhrer67048 ай бұрын
It's the basis of capitalism, there is no debate to be had about the fact. "Exploitation" has negative connotations nowadays, because of the excesses of the 19th century, but originally it just means to make use of what you have. Resources and opportunity. Workers are exploited, self-exploitation is a thing. The contention is about how much is too much. It is naïve to think that you get the most use from labour by having them work 24/7. Humans do not work that way. As Paul Lafarge mentions in his famous essay, productivity went up when working hours went down. In hindsight it should be no surprise that people work better when they are well-rested. And people want to be productive. One thing Marx and Engels criticised about the trade unions was that they demanded better working conditions instead of seizing the means of production wholesale. Workers went on strike to demand conditions in which they could be exploited more profitably. And the reason Marx disowned Lafarge is because Lafarge pointed out that the capitalists don't want to exploit the workers, they don't benefit from productivity and the wealth of nations, they benefit from inequality. They shortened the work hours to decrease productivity, because supply already exceeded demand and drove down prices, only for the workers getting more sleep to have the opposite effect.

Unity of the Euorope is important since it's the closest model for the future of united world. There's no problem in the concept of unity, but the practices. The problem is that unity is made as a reaction to conflict with someone else, and that's exactly the base of EU which is concieved after ww2 as a consequence of conflict to SSSR. That way of unity made by urge of conflict is always distorted in it's base, and it will never have a good future, whether the conflict continues or it never happen again: it will have enemies or it will decept when enemies pull away.

I would like to offer my own view on the point of faith and determinism that Zizek touched on. The reason why the belief in faith can be so helpful to achieve things is the certainty it offers. If you KNOW you are destined for something grand (communism in Stalinist USSR) then you will stop at nothing to see that certainty come through. You will always take that next step even if the present is uncertain because the future is certain. This means your will becomes unbreakable.

USA/USSR/China/Rome/Carolingian Europe etc. Whether they were hunting down 'Commies' or invading the Third World, disappearing Democratic activists or killing trade-union advocates, and locking up half the population.

@Simon Eminger "The ideals [...] are still carried by the EU" I disagree vehemently with that statement. The EU at it's core is undemocratic because parliament the European people are voting for doesn't have any legislative power and are basically just yes-men for the European commission. Today the EU is little more than a cartell that has a stranglehold on the entire European economy. Easy immigration keeps wages low, even in the leading nations like Germany, by using the people of the economically weaker country to take over the jobs the native population in a given country isn't willing to take anymore because of low wages or other factors. On top of that it allows manufacturing to be outsources to economically weaker countries because there are no customs fees between the cou tries. The EU makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.

If we think from a nationalist, isolated and insular perspective, it will be very difficult for us to give a complete answer to this question, in order to address this terrible crisis in which we are stuck, it is essential to put aside any type of political, religious even social and nacionalist ideology and confront directly with this problem. The crisis is not political; the crisis is not economic, nor religious, but the crisis is in consciousness, in our minds, in our hearts, in our brain. The crisis is there. And the politicians, however capable, and the scientists, the biologists, the micro-biologists and so on, they are not going to solve our problems - they have not. Perhaps they will increase more and more our problems. It is because we are nationalists, ready to defend our sovereign States, our beliefs and acquisitions, that we must be perpetually armed. Property and ideas have become more important to us than human life, so there is constant antagonism and violence between ourselves and others. By maintaining the sovereignty of our country, we are destroying our sons; by worshiping the State, which is nothing but a projection of ourselves, we are sacrificing our children to our own gratification. Nationalism and sovereign governments are the causes and instruments of war. Nationalism is the glorification of tribalism, and politicians maintain this tribal division. So the question of what is the future of the European Union is not the right question, the real question involved in all this is what is the future of mankind?

And the politicians, however capable, and the scientists, the biologists, the micro-biologists and so on, they are not going to solve our problems - they have not. Perhaps they will increase more and more our problems." I don't know if you even realize, but your arguments are in direct conflict. If the politicians do nothing to solve it, it's a political crisis; if the banks, one of if not *the* main economical forces on both the global and national stages, do nothing to solve any problem, it *is* an economical problem, etc. But it's funny how you include the scientists here. They are not a magical solution to all the problems of the world. They may discover or create stuff, but that is the result of time and work. "It is because we are nationalists, ready to defend our sovereign States, our beliefs and acquisitions, that we must be perpetually armed. Property and ideas have become more important to us than human life, so there is constant antagonism and violence between ourselves and others." The problem is people like you, who think everyone else should fix everything and this random youtube comment will move anyone, and that's ignoring how abstract it is. "By maintaining the sovereignty of our country, we are destroying our sons" If you had written that now.... By your logic, if a country is going to get attacked, they should just accept it? Or what if a society accepts something that is inadmissible for another, and a person moves from one country to another? Surely nothing will happen. Like, ever.

One can use this logic towards slavery and all kinds of horrible ideas and motions. The problem with intellectuals is that they, most often, never suffer from the ideas they propose.

stop projecting yourself and your inner circle onto others (you mainly disagree with). Zizek has never tried drugs and is vocally opposed to drugs. [Source: the guy himself, look it up] PS: your favorite sophist is an addict, though. How sad.

I am really confused of Slavoj Zizek. I have watched many his videos on YT and I really dont know what to think about it. It seems for me that he is able to explain everything from the philosophical point of view and appologize the worst things or make them possitive from his perspective. More I watch and listen to those nowadays biggest thinkers (Slavoj, Jordan Peterson etc.) more I realize that maybe they are not as geniouses as I thought they are ;-)

His point about protestant fate is rubbish, he misses the point entirely in order to provide an example. I am a pretty fatalistic protestant Christian, and the point is that I can trust God with my life and future decisions, because they are at least entirely accounted for already, and this frees me from anxiety about my decisions, because my decisions themselves (and even my interactions with God, prayers, his revelations and talking to me which effects me and my decision making, even my sins and my mistakes etc. The important nuance is that, nevertheless, I do not know my fate, and hence cannot write things off (particular decisions right in front of me), as the will of God, or even just as as my fate, because I experience my freedom such that either option is a live option - it is only retroactively that I can say that it was my fate for that to happen, because my decisions are a consequence of my desires, and desires aligned with God are a result of His Spirit within me, and my desires which are against His are a result of sin, He has rescued me from my sin, such that now I am against my sin, even when I sin. Non-Christians are those who agree and love their sin, this is the difference.

He is touching his nose all the time - body language suggests he is permanently lying. Other explanation is sniffing too much of the good stuff.
