Zizek-'If somebody tells you Lacan is difficult, this is class propaganda by the enemy.'














Arch-philosopher Slavoj Zizek, plugging his book, 'The Puppet and the Dwarf,' and way of thinking, on Nitebeat, a U.S cable TV show, probably in 2003. (5 mins 35 secs) Very surreal yet wonderful to see a Lacanian Marxist in this setting, speaking to a ADD riddled host who clearly wishes he was doing his own stand up routine, as Zizek states;

"The final outcome of hedonism is that our lives are more regulated than ever...you can have it all, but in a reduced form deprived of its substance..coffee without caffeine, patisseries without sugar...war without warfare."
