Superstar Communist Slavoj Zizek is The Most Dangerous Philosopher in the West
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- We travel to Ljubljana, Slovenia, to meet superstar Communist philosopher and cultural theorist Slavoj Zizek. The "most dangerous philosopher in the West" talks about his new film, The Pervert's Guide to Ideology, and lectures us on the importance of being on time. If you're curious about that poster of Stalin on his wall, it's "purely to annoy idiots" when they visit.

Never mind that the USSR was actually authoritarian state capitalist because it never transitioned to the next phase as Lenin aimed for before his death...

"Do you want some ｆｕｃｋｉｎｇ fruit juice or something?"

Being a Slovenian I can finally say I saw Žižek today. He was drinking wine and crossed a red light. Love that man

This is the cutest comment I've ever seen.

He drove while being drunk?
@@jeannedarc7533No, he was walking
Quick notice here:
This guy has now written 80+ books and counting, has starred in two movies, has countless public talks and is a professor - yet his living room is the size of an average college dorm.
Zizek really is someone who lives by the words he puts down in writing.
knowledge is wealth to a wise man
That’s not his living room, that’s his office in the university he teaches.
80 books with similar thoughts lol
@@yihengfu2425 Well, yeah, they are all about psychoanalysis and communism since that is what Zizek does lol
Even writing this amount of literary output is an enormous feat.
i dont know his work well, but even he lived in a big house, this wouldn't invalidate his marxist ideology. it's not about money itself

He makes you think about history and ideologie in a more neutral and objective way thats it

Zizek is literally the incarnation of "never judge a book by its cover". It's very clear that he's insanely educated in not only political philosophy (among others) but also popular culture.
popular origin maybe
How would you judge him by his cover?
and the problem is that absolutely no one cares. we have tik tok now.
@@BobsVageneno one cares about tiktok
@@BobsVagene please tell me you were joking
If you're from Balkans, you know Zizek sounds like a typical Balkan taxi driver. Difference is, they are usually ignored when they rant, this one is encouraged to speak
100% fact
underrated comment
haahhahaaahha
Lol
As a Romanian, can confirm that is true
My dad met him, apparently the first words out his mouth were "Ugh, life is hell. Hello, I'm Slavoj."
123456 you’re a bit of a fucking idiot aren’t you

"you don't hate Monday, you hate capitalism"

We don’t have capitalism or free markets. Republicans are socialists for the rich. In a free and open market there would be no bail outs.

“An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.”

@i ask him...later
The opposite is also true, e.g. artists overanalysing works, carl sagan
@@RedzeeTV yes, that happens often. they’re called intellectuals.
That’s actually an incredibly ridiculous statement if you think about it for more than 5 seconds
10:45 are you kidding me? The quote "all revolutions happen when things get a little bit better and the expectations explode and are dissapointed" is exactly what Frank Herbert said in his Dune series - actually his character Pardot Kynes said. Never have I thought I would hear it from someone in the real world so precisely articulated.
well it seems like many other cultured ppl agree with this, I can give you an example with Alessandro Barbero an Italian Historian which found this exact pattern during his work. Btw I really recommend you to listen to him he definitely is the Italian counterpart of zizek.
Brexit was 4 years ago
I dont think that's been historically true most of the time.
And then people immediately get nostalgic for the pre-revolution times. It's impossible to please people.

Props to Alex Miller. Well prepared for the interview, both in Zizek’s work and topics pertaining to him; as well as contributing and evolving the conversation with mindful subjects.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. Hats off to him. Nowadays a lot of interviews don’t reach their full potential as a result of bad interviewers, sadly.
this man is a perfect representation of how it is being a leftist in a hyper-capitalistic society. escpecially being from yugoslavia. its so exhausting. i hate life too Slavoj.
Tea Dora I need help with this. Everytime is hear "the left" and "the leftists" but I still don't have idea of what does that means. Almost every one I ask gives me a fu****ing different definition😂
@ look up the difference between collectivisim(lefties) and individualism(righties)
@@anotherhairlessapewithanop7455
Original definitions of left and right are NOT that. Left meant anti hierarchy, right meant pro hierarchy. Wtf is individualism and collectivism? Is a dictatorship individualist because it's one person concerned with their self interest?
@ They are using different definitions because left and right are relative to your political landscape, which is why it is not a globally useful discription. Slavoj is a leftist from Yugoslavia, meaning that he is anticapitalist in what is now a hypercapitalist (hyper rightwing) environment. As an American leftist, I am also anticapitalist, but will often hear procapitalist liberals describe themselves as being 'on the left' because our Overton window is further to the right and we've never had widespread anticapitalist sentiment here. The liberal wants to regulate 'predatory capitalism' but leftists view capitalism itself as predatory and want to move beyond it, though the solution is not agreed upon across the wide spectrum of leftists.
@@lychee8328 thank you! Thats the problem i find in every political conversation. Everyone has a different concept, even inside the same country I live (spain). So every debate gets very confusing and people just yell saying "No, right wingers will do this! its bad!" "no but right wingers dont do that and they never did" en he says "never? look at this guy (insert name)" and then "this guy is fascist and a dictator!" and he will say "yes! thats what the right wing is" and soooo on...
Zizek guide to life:
- Be on time
- Hit yourself
What an interesting guy.
@RED PILL PORTAL yeah, but even modern democracies have socialists policies, it has some good ideas, the democratic ones.

I love how half of his apartment is bookshelves

Same. I've got one room that has 2 walls off bookshelves and then other rooms with some random floating bookshelves but i want to build a cabin with where at least one room has all 4 walls floor to ceiling books - the door will be like one of the secret spinny doors and be shelves too lol
I mean he needs one wall for only his books already

I am from Slovenija and i can say that i have just found him out today at 18 years old. I can also say that he is sadly probably more respected by foreigners than Slovenians because no one really talks aboat him as much as they should.
He did run for the Slovenian Democratic Party after the break of Yugoslavia. You can find some videos of him here on RUclips debating other Slovenian politicians.

I saw Slavoj Zizek at a Border's bookstore in Virginia a few years ago. It was weird because he wasn't actually inside, he was on a bench outside eating one of those Libby's 6 lb aluminum cans of sweet corn with a fork. I asked him what he was doing and he said I should "respect his intolerance towards my over-proximity" and winked at me with both eyes. Idk if over-proximity is even a word. It was a pretty surreal experience. When I came out of the store he had fallen asleep and spilled the can of corn all over himself and was practically being eaten alive by seagulls and his shoes were nowhere to be found.
thats a real thinker man
Hahahaha, really cool
God I want this to be true
@@rustyshackleford4801 it is
Laughed so hard at this
What I dig about Zizek is that he just doesn’t fucking care about what people think; he preaches what leftism is really about, and distinguishes between coorperate “leftism”/neo-liberalism and actual leftism.
I saw Slavoj Zizek at a grocery store yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Snickers in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
He is my idol. What an amazing story and person.

“Ideology is not only the world we live in, but especially the wrong ways we imagine how to escape.” Wow...

I like the part about communist thinkers and Zizek having a sense of humor, because figures like Marx, Lenin, and more have some sick burns they dish out in their thesisies - sometimes, they are legitimately funny some of their lines, and they wrote it well, because 100, 150 years later, the little comic relief jokes hit well, because they explain the background. Humor and leftism has a strong, long standing history ^^
wtf does that even mean
His analysis of middle east situation is sharply on point and aged very well.

***** *_For Marx in one of his letters to Engels stated his opinions about "thinking" and "doing something important: to change the state of things with praxis". Paraphrasing Marx: "I have to think that thinking too much is usually an obstacle to act." Engels stated: "A gram of Praxis worths more than a ton of theories". It is usual in our time: the motto of our time is: "Think too much non productive ideas until you're unable to act". Watch Zizek video called "Don't act, think!" If a revolution blows up in europe, i'm sure i will find Zizek in a coffeshop (read my other comment here) thinking his same unproductive ideas one over again, with no possible end. His main problem is not to solve the question of ideas and praxis. Organizing and Acting solve mental issues and vicious ideas: This is the most perfect comprehension of Marx's theories and praxis, and of his 11 thesis on Feuerbach._*

So many people are obsessed with their philosophers being glamorous and sleek but that just seems disingenuous to me. Zizek is a modern-day Diogenes, he's a racoon that was rummaging around a liberal poli-sci university's dumpster that became sentient and started teaching classes out of an abandoned garden shed. He's one of a kind.
Diogenes at once threw away his underpants upon seeing a prince get defecated on by a flown-in, all expenses paid Instagram model

Dont we all
I absolutely love this guy. What a legend
The way Zizek makes a generous offer of fruit juice sound like an exasperated threat 🤣🤣
Masterful and hilarious.
I have to rewatch this every once in a while. It never fails to amuse me that Zizek's first words to this man is "I hate life".
Interviwer: When you´re in town, do you get approched by local fans?
Zizek: What do mean by fans!? People hate me...
slovenes hate him because they're jealous of him being famous and successful, that's balkan mentality.
I'm from Croatia and pretty much all leftists are demonized in ex yugo so not surprising that people hate him
@@Contagious93812 nah, we don't hate him. But we don't give much of a f*** about him either. Based on individual... on some points we agree with him and on some we don't. If we feel he says something that benefits us or society we're going to give him credit, if we think he's talking nonsense and is going against interests of our nation, we treat him as raving lunatic lol.
You misunderstand, local communists hate him because he isn't romanticizing Yugoslavia.
@@Cream12345Ice Lets be honest, that goes for the whole eastern block...
I saw him in person on the street and saluted him.
Zizek , thank you so much ! You are my idol . I want to say my thanks to you , your philosophy is simply amazing and workable !
“If you give me power, I’ll know how to use it. That’s why I’m almost afraid of myself”. Damn, this man went from talking about Batman to this in seconds. Definitely shows he’s got range
"you go to gulag" *sniff*
when does he says that? i want to .gif it..
prinzchen17 He said it in one of his talks, not in this video.
@@prinzchen17 He also said that to Julian Assange.
this was an incredibly interesting conversation to watch and listen to
sorry , i missed the danger part ??!?
This guy is the most thoughtful person to do reporting for vice.
Wrong.
@@DIYTFY short but sweet 👏🤣
Chris Martin?
It was nice of him to sit down with Chris Martin from Coldplay
Also I love that he brings up fight club
He attacc
He protecc
But, most importantly he spitting facc
No facts, just spitting
I wish Zizek was my uncle. Family dinners would actually be fun if we had this manic intellectual projectile-spitting into the food and denouncing capitalism.
Sinsearach how many corpses from sectarianism ? Life wouldn’t be the same without discourse
lmfao this is perfect
Or you could invite your hipster cousin to do that lol.
> food
> communism
Pick one
