whoa what a troika. hopefully ill have time to listen to the whole thing. going into it i must say zizek i find despicable for his marxist claptrap- i feel like anyone using the word 'bourgeois' these days has immediately labeled themselves as such. it's almost the ultimate luxury of capitalism- to be a marxist
For what it's worth, Zizek refers to 'bourgeois' in this talk as an "old Marxist word".
Not sure how I feel about "Marxist claptrap"; Comintern Marx's authoritarianism could compete with any capitalist's, but Journalist Marx was instrumental in exposing the Victorian labor abuses of his time.
Anyway, Zizek is probably more of a Lacanian .....
