I don't like this idea that someone should not think they have "answers" as opposed to "the answer." Often the former get targeted as being the latter because the underlying assumption is that there is no intellectual hierarchy. This is post-modern bullshit devised by intellectuals to gain popularity, sell books and enhance their status by making people feel that they don't have to do anything specific, challenge their own priorities, or cope with basic scarcity issues in decision-making.

@Zhookov Oh damn... Yet another "velikosrpska zavera". If he would be saying Kosovo is Serbia, i guess he would be a hero. By the way, you are basically saying protestors are stupid, naive and incapable of thinking? That is kinda ignorant from your side, would you agree?

[Exxxid]

@JonathanAcademic I guess, the point is in the fact, that all of us need t ostart thinking how to make this change. And one saying, he has the answer is bullshit. Some deeper changes needs to be done and his role is to make all these "smart people" start thinking to find a way. Zizek wants to take the philosophy role in society to lets say higher level of influence, where philospohers would make us think. I think that is great, and quite needed.

@Jaackk90 Pizdarija more bit žalostno zate, da je človek najbolj znan slovenec. In da cel svet misli, da smo mi zagreti komunisti, a v bistvu nismo a. Sam ni tok hudo veš, ker če poslušaš več kot 1 sekundo, oz. imaš vsaj malo mentalne kapacitete, vidiš da človek rad provocira z namenom aktivacije možgancčkov poslušalcev in da ni komunist, kot si jih ljudje kot si ti zamišljajo. Škoda, da si preveč omejen, da bi kaj takega dojel. Izguba časa zate gledat take zadeve. Zakaj se mučiš človek?

@AnzeZadravec Heh, Anže... ajde ni se nam treba hvalt na ta način... je pa kul, da mamo nekoga, ki nam "pomaga" razmišljati :) Človek ima očitno potencial, da pripomore pri spremembi sveta in iskanju najboljše rešitve.

tations of what the ideal leader of the 21st century should be. What i am trying to say is we should Absorb his ideas and look for the person to embody those ideals. maybe avoid electing someone who creates the next government system because This man has started something that is very dangerous to the people in power right now, SLAVOJ ZIZEK has started the younger generation thinking about what type of government we would like to have in place.

[alienhacker51]

but how many people in politics have preached one thing and done another he is only good for the ideas he is presenting to the world. You need to think about who would make a good leader. Someone who wouldn't be easily corrupted, young enough view point too make decisions based on the future, mature enough to except guidance from the people around him who would also have to be of this caliber. those are some of my thoughts about what a ;eader should be im sure all of you have your own expect

@alienhacker51 I Cant entirely explain my views with 500 characters. but seeing as i compared SLAVOJ ZIZEK to Hitler and Obama i probably should.hitler gained power through his words of a new world. On November 8, 1923, Hitler held a rally at a Munich beer hall and proclaimed a revolution. Or how in 2009 Obama adopted the word "Change" as his fucking slogan, like how desperate does a nation have to be for them fall for that. I like SLAVOJ ZIZEK ! so far he is asking the real questions

[alienhacker51]

A global society would crumble unless you televised everything the figure heads did . Could the world live in peace or could we as creatures of survival destroy each other to stay alive? How can we solve the growing water shortage across the world and if we cant who gets precedence in a global society?These are all good questions and statements but Hitler started out the same way so did Obama. but sure start spreading your ideas about him being a world leader im sure the sheep of the world agree
