It takes time to filter that. As mamals we are wired to repel and reject signs of sickness, and his ticks, to our unconsciousness, which does not care about medicine books or psychology literature, his ticks indicate he's sick or has some problem. The further he is, the less chance we got to catch whatever he has. Unconsciousness, something Marx didn't seem to know about, our behavior is driven by our instincts, feelings and genes, with some luck we can put some reazon into some of our actions. Capítalism is nothing but an observation of how we work and tells you the optimus way to maximize profit and growth in the material world, but it doesn't say you have to exploit your employees. Actually, today it is well known that less hours of work and happier employees contribute more, which ultimately increase profit. A bad practice of capitalism is not of capitalism. Socialism, on the other hand, simply doesn't work, it's based on untrue facts such as human behavior

With respect to Zizek, a much pithier way of putting it was in the form of a joke I saw once: Socialist: "Eight men own as much wealth as half the population of Earth." Liberal: "I agree, that is disgusting! Four of them should be black women!" Clearly, racism and sexism (and transphobia, and any number of different things) are bad things, and we should fight against them. But speaking out against them is fundamentally not threatening for the structures of power, in the way that speaking out against class inequality and worker exploitation would be. Sticking up a few Pride flags in the office costs a company pennies; restructing the entire company and society so that workers are no longer exploited is catastrophic for the owner class. So we are presented with the illusion of companies caring about inequality in all the ways that are non-threatening to them.

I disagree. I think that is to fail to understand how patriarchal and colonial structures actually reinforce capitalism. When you complain at work about long hours, and you are called a "sissy" or something like this, that is the power of patriarchal norms stifling dissent against capitalism. If people - and men especially - were to suddenly be able to express their feelings and needs openly, I believe we would have a socialist revolution before the end of the month. The masculine ban on communicating about your feelings means that workers cannot know what others are struggling with, meaning that they cannot see that they are all struggling in the same way, meaning that they can't reach class consciousness. Of course the progressive liberal appropriation that goes something like the quote you have given is horrible, but I don't think we should dismiss the movements on the left that are challenging these structures of power.

Zizek is a great thinker, but to speak on behalf of myself and my friends; I don't think most LGBTQ people want their gender or sexual identities to be politicized or viewed as a radical statement- they simply want to exist. The emergence of more people in the west openly identifying as such, is the result of lots of of contributing factors- a big one of course being social media and online communities; we have more resources than ever to understand ourselves and seek validation and support from others. So yes economic growth has facilitated the emergence of more active, informed LGBTQ communities, and allowed the discourse around gender and sexuality to develop. And of course big tech giants want to capitalize off this. But our identities are not inherently political, and regardless of political context, Gender and sexual fluidity has existed for thousands of years (take a look at Ancient Greece, and Native American culture), we are not new or radical, we just have more visibility now.

Bullshit. Most "LGB" Folks don't want their sexuality (Not their 'identities, their literal 'sexualities') not to be politicized anymore because those have been politicized, and the majority of things that where to be achieved had been achieved. Discrimination was made illegal, marriage was permitted, equal access to the workforce, and equal access to legislative rights including medical support. the 'TQ+' Fraction of that (which just "Bandwagoned" on the political platform having inherently zero to do with them), are the ones that basically poisoned the entire fucking progress with their retarded ideology and strictly reality-denying, anti-scientific, biology-antagonizing horseshit, by trying to 'normalize' lifestyles that would be largely impossible without severe, violent modification and altering of the human body through absolutely unnecessary, often times life-threatening surgeries and hormonal experimentation that does more harm then it does good. And the consistent presence and uncovering of fucking child molesters amongst their ranks and pedophiles trying to introduce highly pornographical/kink based material into school curriculums and trying to disguise it as 'Sex-Ed' is only the tip of that Iceberg. Or the Presence of "MAP" acceptance advocates in the 'TQ+' fraction. Homosexual, Bisexuality, Lesbianism can all be considered natural. Nature has enough of examples of it occuring, and we've had enough of historical precedents proving that people 'did' lead those lifestyles in one way or another. the 'TQ+' Nonsense is absolutely invented out of thin air on shoddy pseudo-science from liberal arts degrees, rooted in sociology and philosophy far more then any hard science out there.

Agreed. The whole problem is that, instead of prescribing the simple extension of feminine and masculine rather than male and female, we implant sexuality as the root argument. There are both men and women who carry both feminine and masculine traits. THAT is the primary issue. Some carry those tendencies to include sexuality. Those that do are now mired in a conversation that has no purpose and is utterly missing the point. It is the Native American idea of "two spirits." We all carry both.

I think I dislike the framing (the title) in this video more than I dislike or disagree with Zizek. He doesn‘t say a lot about trans identities anyway. That identities get incorporated into the capitalist framework is nothing new (rainbow capitalism) and this is a legit criticism by Zizek and by many other LGBTQ+ activists. There can‘t be real liberation without economic liberation and a lot of minorities have this topic as a major cause for their fight. Trans people especially suffer under the consequences of capitalism where access to healthcare and unemployment are one of the worst things that trans people are affected by. Many trans people are socialists, many trans intellectuals are socialists but of course not everybody is a socialist or even understands this. The identity in itself is not revolutionary (although breaking the binary is in itself a gender revolution but not a marxian one).

Well said! The difficulties that trans people face within capitalism, much like racism, can be understood as a product of the system, and as such, can shine more light on the severe shortcomings of the system. Black and LGBT movements sometimes walk hand in hand in Western countries because they are so marginalized, and I have seen groups of these movements that have become armed revolutionaries. Patriarchal relations are generally very beneficial to traditional capitalism, and to this day are responsible for a lot of oppression, so even in a neoliberal utopia I don't think these oppressions will vanish just because capitalism sees identity as a market of sorts. But idk, this is a confusing topic because theorizing endlessly tends to be more confusing than observing what really happens

My main problem is that Judith Butler shouldn't own the lgbtq movement. "Judith Butler went to Yale to be a lesbian" is funny joke to lgbtq people because it distills how little lgbtq as we instinctively understand it fits with Yale traditionally. But Zizek is right here, she did a great job at assemilating it into capitalism. I think theres an alternative theory of lgbtq to be found that fits better into a wider range of lgbtq experiences, but it is a type of subjectivity and mode of communal relationships that academia and capitalism is designed to filter out. Academia especially is at the forefront of the classification of "good brain vs bad brain" and "good human vs bad human" and we as leftists keep finding ways to say "what if 'x' psychological trait is actually good brain" or "what if 'x' identity is actually good human", when we should instead be throwing away such valuations altogether. I think the only real judgement we should give validity is "are they acting in solidarity or are they not, and why". This is actually how you ascend capitalist subjectivity. I'm certainly interested in figuring out "why am i trans, really" on some level, but I know its not a conscious choice to like, dismantle society leaving only capital relations. More like, it feels like censoring myself to increase my own capital value feels like a dismantling of society.

We can decide that gender doesn't exist in a metaphysical way and impose that idea on society, or we can actually create a world where its existence is irrelevant. The former being idealist and the latter obviously being materialist. I understand people have more immediate needs and mine is a long-game strategy. As far as societal impact, I just believe that the issue of gender as a concept is most often a matter of the inherent perceptions, prejudices and the discrimination and oppression that comes with it (man vs woman historically for example) and less about outward expression of the inner self. I don't personally care about how people express themselves, that's a part of the organic evolution of culture etc, I'm more concerned with the impact that expression has on the individual and society as a whole. This particulat debate creates a new contradiction in itself between trans women and cis women which is very much worth discussion.. and I'm not sure people are ready for it on either side.

That's also why Gates and Buffet support social democracy, they absolutely like to pay a little bit more taxes if it means that the whole system can go on without uprisings. All they do is control us, and all this political correctnes cancel culture thing is just a cheap trick to establish a "new left" which is rather center-left because it ultimately supports the status quo, but claims that it doesn't. Just like what we call the "right" is in favor of traditional values and religion and focuses on national issues but at the end of the day they all support a globalized, unregulated market system in which the big banks and big businesses are free to treat the globe however they please. I mean, I'm bisexual myself and I do support the full emancipation of people with whatever sexuality, but I don't think it's in any way relevant for politics. The schools and restaurants and enterprises have to decide how many bath rooms they want, and you will never turn any intolerant person into a tolerant one by insulting them or forcing them, all we can do is do business as usual and show people that life goes on. The US needs to have a serious discussion about global warming, poverty, violence etc. You guys got a huge legal opioid problem and the US has the most imprisoned per capita in the world.

spiritual eco-syndicalist hero of the working class you bring up some interesting points but I don’t think I agree when you say identity has no place in politics. Like the civil rights movement and feminism were inarguably political, and also focused on identity. I agree completely that America desperately needs a real politically relevant socialist movement, and that corporations and the liberal state will try to, as Malcolm X said, give gestures to emancipation of marginalized groups to try to distract from real progress. But this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also push for anti-discrimination laws and cultural acceptance. Basically we need economic leftism and social progressivism.
@spiritualeco-syndicalisthe2073 жыл бұрын
@@aberfork6031 Absolutely agree. My point was that one's sexuality (just like one's religion, nationality etc) is a very personal thing and that we must not have a debate about what counts as sexuality, what's normal and what's not, how we should treat them etc. That's completely irrelevant. What we must do is realize that all of this doesn't matter once we accept that people are different not because they're made that way but because they are that way. I don't need people telling me how proud I am for coming out, and I don't want people hating me for that. Vice versa, I don't think women who like to stay at home, do the housework, raise the children etc instead of working are outdated and old-fashioned. If that's what they like, then let them. I don't think it's progressive when women choose to go to work and have a career instead. It's just what they prefer to do. It's the other way around, in the past women have been raised to be housewives, that's not progressive. In that sense, an individual cannot be progressive. But the way the individual is treated, that's progressivism for me. And of course it all comes back to individual behavior, since society is nothing but a collective of individuals. For me, a single individual cannot be truly progressive, and that's non-political for me. We shouldn't walk up to someone and tell him how to behave.

Thus, it becomes a consumer group for markets to target, despite mine or anyone elses chagrin. Zizek is correct as usual.

He has a good point here. He just goes about stating it poorly. Late stage capitalism is inherently fluid and subjective.

Same. This will probably get alot of backlash, but I believe not all transgenders are in fact transgender. In Thailand, alot of men have sex surgery so they can prostitute themselves as women, because there are no other jobs on the market. In Europe, there have already been cases of children who had sex change surgery and regret it, so now they are working on an underage sex change ban. We must admit that transgender identity is a real thing, but we also have to admit that people might use the tolerance towards transgender identity to escape their own reality and simply exploit their bodies for a better economic position or, like superheroes, they saw something on television and want to live out their fantasies.

"Forms of hysteria are almost always specified". This isn't a trivial observation by Zizek because he's basically saying that every epoch has its prevailing taboos/aspirations. He captures that with his example of how marital infidelity used to be perceived (at least half a century ago) and how its now literally the reverse. I find that interesting because it may tie into the "peaks and troughs" theory of group ethos. There will be some centuries that lean heavily towards conservatism and others to liberalism. Maybe that's the greater message. I may be wrong though.

If someone really wants to learn about psycho analysis and Jung. I recommend Japanese horrors.

If I paint a landscape with a bright blue sky with over emphasized green trees does not necessarily mean I’m happy. The viewer will assume none the less.
