Your Daily Zizek

Minor clarification: "Zizek is a huge name on the Europeal Left"... where he's revered and reviled in equal amounts!

His stance on Trump has been wildly distorted by quite a few European Leftists. Some Marxists I follow (like Richard Seymour e.g.) simply can't abide him.

So a "star" he may be but he;s far from universally accepted.

This was a good interview though.

I'm aware of the general revulsion by some old-line Marxists.

btw - Did you watch the BBC documentary on "Hypernormalisation"? I love it when a "euphamism" replaces a "slam". I would have called it post-modern "Totalitarianism" arising from a "Society of Control" or "Fear of Daddy".

I posted the 2.45 hour video here. There's a ;ot of good stuff on neoliberalism and the "vacuity" of the Left's response. The stuff on Putin's Russia was pretty interesting though. It explains their "posturing" on the Wikileaks hack (Vladislav Surkov).

Get me a Gold-Plated flusher handle while you're there! :)

Seems they've only got the gold plated with diamond studs left now. It's alright, you can pay me back in political favours...
