Yeyo!!

China rised as soon as Deng xiao ping ditched comunism to embrace free market . As a French livin in Shanghai for 15ye , I can tell u France is far more socialist than France

He likes to call himself communist because it makes him interesting and quirky, but his own definition of it has nothing to do with what communism actually is. Once again, it's just Zizek bullshitting which is what Zizek does and people buy into it only because they like his personality

If gender is a simple social construct, then there would be no need to take hormones or surgical interventions to change their own body.

When Liberal Capitalism is any further explained, it's justification is captured rationally !

Yes, the era of second globalisation resembles much the first, 1850 - 1914. Unfortunately or not, we skipped WW I and are now in a WW II reenactment. History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it jumps.

PLEASE for the love of God TURN THE FUCKING MUSIC DOWN!!!

yeah and they still use slavery so ... no wonder they can make such wealth xD

Lol, they are arresting marxist students in china......😅 Can't buy train tickets because of low social credit😂 Even Taiwanese anti china ideologues can buy air tickets to China and train tickets in china , too many half truths and full lies ........absolutely delusional Do you know lee kwan yew was originally from the left? He was a lawyer who was always with unions and student protestors , until the split of his political party the PAP........

"Late stage capitalism with it's infinite plasticity" - nailed it right there.

this has to be satire

Maybe he's afflicted with Tourrette's Syndrome? Otherwise, the alternative explanations get messy.

being the victim gives you an illusion of control and the opportunity to judge and blame, which in turn feels like being the predator

yknow for someone who hates capitalism youd think he'd be able to see that the "communist" party is just using capitalism. unless he didnt learn how to differentiate between name and principles.

Sorry mama you are completely Un informed

This guy is interesting, wish i understood him more

So they know what life is fundamentally about.

Yeah, and thent the haitian revolutionaries created the first legally established etno-state by sentencing all europeans and mixed people in the island to death regardless of age, sex or origin, sparing only the polish soldiers who were legally considered "honorary blacks". Truly something to cry over.

Interesting inversion of Dostoyevski. Atheists often seem paralyzed by introspection and moral fear if they're not paroxysmically rebelling against some oppressor in an apparently intellectually dishonest way. Poppers paradox appears related to this. I think figures like Peterson and, more noticeably, Nick Fuentes, just want to jump out of the boiling water and into traditionalism for some sort of relief from association with the self-hating, bookish, immobile skeptics. It appears dishonest to some people, but it's honest in a sort of Shmittian way. Politics, the substrate of human life, is defined by the friend/enemy distinction, so let's play on the side of our own "team" as what Zizek may call a postmodern "performance".

genius and simple

I love when you literally steal theory from gramsci making it as tho you came up with it and as you are speaking in front of illiterate statunitensi they won’t notice

Shshshhshskshskhsksshhkk

Says the saggy sack of sausages

Of course he has never read Lenin; it all makes sense now...

People in the comments not understanding Zizek's point and assuming something else. What he is saying is not that communism works. That's a strawman. What he's saying is that "a new authoritarian capitalism" is coming.

The great Christian evangelist Paul Washer ( I kid) has said recently the he is beginning to see signs of an “Awakening” (as opposed to a Revival, which is within the community of believers). I’m beginning to have such a hope myself, and when people like Slajov Zizek unpack Christianity without attempting to undermine it but instead, clarify it and invest it with a deeper meaning than the average church sermon, perhaps he is correct.

I've no idea what he's trying to say, if anything

My native language is Spanish and although I love Zizek, I struggle to understand him through all of his tics and heavy accent, even with closed captions I sometimes understand half of his ideas and it's disappointing because his writings are very complex for my English level.

There is no class struggle. It's a top down dominated situation. Rich versus poor, which the poor always loses. Some crumbs of bread drop from the table forming a middleclass which itself is also chained by their debts. Truck Fump

He touches is nose when he gets excited. Best tick ever.

Its subtle white supremacy from these libs. `Look us, cursing our history `. Knowing other cultures dont do that perverse nonsense. They just gonna chop of their decendants head if they won't accept their religioun. Rightly so!

I am glad I understand Dr. Jordan Peterson. What is so wrong with what Dr. Jordan said by saying set your house in order? It is something to aspire for continuously instead of being a burden if you can at all. It is not for those who cannot perform that task due to a disability. Recognize and admit there is something wrong with you and seek help!

Set the house ordered before changing the world--except the roof of this house I live in, which happens to my home, is apparently the atmosphere, and to flat-earthers it's a 2d plane, if I get the littlest bit in order it as small as it gets then there is nothing else to worry about it's a single mindy a gut feeling an intuition or an instinct working self-correcting affirming firmament and the 1st coz .

Should’ve let the French run it😭😭😭

WTF IS BRO YAPPIN ABOUT

This is hilarious actually 😂

Zizek sold himself to the Zionists. From now on he's on my naughty list. Time to retire,old man.

Zizek: How can a person (a social creature) improve his life if everyone else is anchoring him down Peterson: Apply your own oxygen mask before helping others

He’s neither, he’s a Cocaine-ist

I'm a Communist in a sense that is entirely irrelevant of Communism. Nice.

😂😂😂 dicksmack a fly = End to racial misperceptions + understandings gained = Brilliant 😅

This is like saying: I'm against opinions because some are bad. Wisdom is not synonymous with truth. We need wisom because most of society does not think rationally. Throughout all of history humans were guided by wisdom and tradition, and it kept them on a path - sometimes a good path, sometimes a bad one. We need good wisdom to rule society.

Wow, I agree with Zizek.

Culture is the murder of tiger.

the polish have always been based and loyal to principles

Is LGBT a choice?? A philosopher shouldn't answer that question.. we have neuroscience for that

Victim hood is a big industry today Pity pays

can he stop whip his nose on his shirt?

So...........the communists didn't behave like capitalists? used capitalist marketing and trade, encouraged capitalists to be based manufacturally in their economy thereby exploiting their own people as cheap labour while a few 'elites' became wealthy and invested overseas into realestate and got into market/currency manipulation.................... creating the same system but with a different culture and government :/ It's like if you painted a silver car red this chap would say its completely different

How’d that work out for Haiti? Leftist paradise ?
