Slavoj Žižek - A reply to my critics (2013) - 5/6

Although most of the critiques to which my work was exposed in the last years are "so-called" fast denunciations not worthy of a serious reply, some of them do at least raise pertinent questions : which, exactly, is the status of violence in social life, and how can one justify resort to it? Is in our societies a radical social change -- not just a revolt but the imposition of a new order -- objectively possible? What is materialism today, beyond the usual versions of deconstructionist discursive materialism, Deleuzian "new materialism," and scientific naturalism? And, last but not least, what immanent role do jokes play in theory?

pay atention to what he said...Malcom X created a fictional return to islam, (so he created! the return) on the universal basis of a religion for all. British colonialism take away some fictional PURE past of Hindia, so its foolish to try to reclaim it, instead of creating something new.

so strange by zizek. so for indians to return to a pre-existing culture is all wrong and messed up, as the culture is suspect. but for malcom x to return to islam is a ok? common now, is he so lacking in knowledge about islamic culture, pre-existing and current and projected future? very strange enunciation of an otherwise reasonable point.
