@kzearo No, I think you may have the ability to do a lot of hearing without actually listening to anything.

@kzearo watch his other vids where he is not being interrupted with a half truth skewed lie rebuttal to everything he says. i am not a communist but Zizek is one of the few on this rock is actually saying something.

This guy is socialist. Hardly cutting edge.

This reporter is a douche

You have the remarkable ability to listen to someone without actually hearing anything.

@kzearo I disagree. He is quite clear and concise, maybe try reading his books to understand where he is coming from?

@actingonlifecom77 a) It's 'Napoleon'. b) I don't believe I stated that the person was lacking in culture. c) I was neither criticising his level of intelligence (in this particular argument), for a diverse vocabulary does not imply great intelligence. I simply criticised what appeared to me to be his desire to appear intelligent (or, at the very least, knowledgeable) by using a rare word instead of commonplace ones he would use far more regularly.

@ExEverest10 Umberto eco points out that culture isn't knowing when napolean was born it's knowing where to find the information.
The presenter argues for Capitalism by pointing out that there have been successful capitalists in fascist states as well as in democratic ones hence Capitalism is “resilient”. However, this does mean that any country should be ruled by capitalists.
Compassion, love, friendship and solidarity are even more resilient through aeons of time and are the values without which human existence would have no meaning. Should not every civilised country be run by people who stand for these values?

Those of you in negatively commenting do not have the slightest idea what this cultural theorist is trying to say.
