China rised as soon as Deng xiao ping ditched comunism to embrace free market . As a French livin in Shanghai for 15ye , I can tell u France is far more socialist than France
He likes to call himself communist because it makes him interesting and quirky, but his own definition of it has nothing to do with what communism actually is. Once again, it's just Zizek bullshitting which is what Zizek does and people buy into it only because they like his personality
Yes, the era of second globalisation resembles much the first, 1850 - 1914. Unfortunately or not, we skipped WW I and are now in a WW II reenactment. History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it jumps.
@@iwouldprefernotto49 Seriously why so loud?? It's already difficult to understand this man, why do you have to make it harder? I respect your right to do whatever you want with your videos but I can tell you right now if the music is this loud I will just not watch your videos
Lol, they are arresting marxist students in china......😅 Can't buy train tickets because of low social credit😂 Even Taiwanese anti china ideologues can buy air tickets to China and train tickets in china , too many half truths and full lies ........absolutely delusional Do you know lee kwan yew was originally from the left? He was a lawyer who was always with unions and student protestors , until the split of his political party the PAP........
yknow for someone who hates capitalism youd think he'd be able to see that the "communist" party is just using capitalism. unless he didnt learn how to differentiate between name and principles.
Yeah, and thent the haitian revolutionaries created the first legally established etno-state by sentencing all europeans and mixed people in the island to death regardless of age, sex or origin, sparing only the polish soldiers who were legally considered "honorary blacks". Truly something to cry over.
Interesting inversion of Dostoyevski. Atheists often seem paralyzed by introspection and moral fear if they're not paroxysmically rebelling against some oppressor in an apparently intellectually dishonest way. Poppers paradox appears related to this. I think figures like Peterson and, more noticeably, Nick Fuentes, just want to jump out of the boiling water and into traditionalism for some sort of relief from association with the self-hating, bookish, immobile skeptics. It appears dishonest to some people, but it's honest in a sort of Shmittian way. Politics, the substrate of human life, is defined by the friend/enemy distinction, so let's play on the side of our own "team" as what Zizek may call a postmodern "performance".
I love when you literally steal theory from gramsci making it as tho you came up with it and as you are speaking in front of illiterate statunitensi they won’t notice
People in the comments not understanding Zizek's point and assuming something else. What he is saying is not that communism works. That's a strawman. What he's saying is that "a new authoritarian capitalism" is coming.
The great Christian evangelist Paul Washer ( I kid) has said recently the he is beginning to see signs of an “Awakening” (as opposed to a Revival, which is within the community of believers). I’m beginning to have such a hope myself, and when people like Slajov Zizek unpack Christianity without attempting to undermine it but instead, clarify it and invest it with a deeper meaning than the average church sermon, perhaps he is correct.
My native language is Spanish and although I love Zizek, I struggle to understand him through all of his tics and heavy accent, even with closed captions I sometimes understand half of his ideas and it's disappointing because his writings are very complex for my English level.
There is no class struggle. It's a top down dominated situation. Rich versus poor, which the poor always loses. Some crumbs of bread drop from the table forming a middleclass which itself is also chained by their debts. Truck Fump
Its subtle white supremacy from these libs. `Look us, cursing our history `. Knowing other cultures dont do that perverse nonsense. They just gonna chop of their decendants head if they won't accept their religioun. Rightly so!
I am glad I understand Dr. Jordan Peterson. What is so wrong with what Dr. Jordan said by saying set your house in order? It is something to aspire for continuously instead of being a burden if you can at all. It is not for those who cannot perform that task due to a disability. Recognize and admit there is something wrong with you and seek help!
Set the house ordered before changing the world--except the roof of this house I live in, which happens to my home, is apparently the atmosphere, and to flat-earthers it's a 2d plane, if I get the littlest bit in order it as small as it gets then there is nothing else to worry about it's a single mindy a gut feeling an intuition or an instinct working self-correcting affirming firmament and the 1st coz .
Zizek: How can a person (a social creature) improve his life if everyone else is anchoring him down Peterson: Apply your own oxygen mask before helping others
This is like saying: I'm against opinions because some are bad. Wisdom is not synonymous with truth. We need wisom because most of society does not think rationally. Throughout all of history humans were guided by wisdom and tradition, and it kept them on a path - sometimes a good path, sometimes a bad one. We need good wisdom to rule society.
So...........the communists didn't behave like capitalists? used capitalist marketing and trade, encouraged capitalists to be based manufacturally in their economy thereby exploiting their own people as cheap labour while a few 'elites' became wealthy and invested overseas into realestate and got into market/currency manipulation.................... creating the same system but with a different culture and government :/ It's like if you painted a silver car red this chap would say its completely different
