DN! Capitalism, Healthcare, Latin American "Populism" and the "Farcical" Financial Crisis - Slavoj Zizek 1

Slovenian Philosopher Slavoj Zizek on Capitalism, Healthcare, Latin American "Populism" and the "Farcical" Financial Crisis

Dubbed by the National Review as the most dangerous political philosopher in the West and the New York Times as the Elvis of cultural theory, Slovenian philosopher and public intellectual Slavoj Žižek has written over fifty books on philosophy, psychoanalysis, theology, history and political theory. In his latest book, First as Tragedy, Then as Farce, Žižek analyzes how the United States has moved from the tragedy of 9/11 to what he calls the farce of the financial meltdown.

I thought it was wonderful how in the last budget cycle when Obama predictably caved and Republicans were once again made to look "grateful," the fucking middle class gave themselves another extension on the fucking tax breaks. Ah, but we're all made to feel "guilty," it was tax cuts for the rich. Right. Them TOO.

That's an anatomy of ideology, Slavoj. How much do you fucking make now?
