Julian Assange's The World Tomorrow: Slavoj Zizek & David Horowitz (E2)

Slavoj Zizek and David Horowitz are the guests for the second episode of Julian Assange's interview show, "The World Tomorrow". "Intellectual superstar" Slavoj Zizek is a philosopher, psychoanalyst and cultural commentator. David Horowitz is a renowned stalwart of hardline conservative American political thought and an unrepentant Zionist.

The tone of the conversation between Zizek, Horowitz and Assange alternated between combative, personal and good-humoured. The topics covered jumped backwards and forwards at a wildfire pace, to include Palestinians and Nazis, Joseph Stalin and Barack Obama, the decline of Europe and the tension between liberty and equality, amongst many others.

Is David Horowitz seriously comparing Palestinians with Nazis? That's a whole new level of self denial.

to claim that "War" is a natural state of mankind, you first need mankind ( to agree that the statement is true ) but if all of mankind agrees ( or is able to agree ) ? then how can the natural state be "War" ? "Liars paradox" general statements do not convey anything specific, they are used as "breathers", unconscious breaks, when one's brain is overflowing with information/feelings, as Slavojs opponent was trying to regroup to some basic thought process

I don't think you understand what fascism is. It's a very specific ideological current, not a blanket term to throw at anyone you disagree with.

[Endrico Mihelman]

War being a natural condition of mankind is very debatable and has not been proven. So don`t buy to much of what the guy says.

Friend, the example of the fundamentalist thinking was just an example and was not aimed directly at you. I think every change must begin in the minds of the people. In fact, I think it helps to look without all the should and should nots of different ideologoies and to look at problems direct and simple.
