Talk to Al Jazeera - Slavoj Zizek (by AlJazeeraEnglish)

3:10 “The only true utopia for me is that things can go on indefinitely the way they are.”

9:12 “[…] ideology is, for me, the way you see things and you don’t see things so that you can function in our daily lives.”

17:10 “[…] people should become aware that the difficulties we are confronting are not just the difficulties caused by bad greed guys in an otherwise good system, but that we have to ask certain questions about the system as such.”

17:53 “Even radical lefties are not thinking about what can replace capitalism. They’re stating demands […] within the system. The time has come to raise this more fundamental question. The system has lost it self-evidence, it automatic legitimacy and now the field is open. This is a very important achievement.”

20:00 “I claim if we do nothing we will gradually approach kind of a new […] type of authoritarian society. Here I see the whole historical importance of what is happening today in China. […] There was one good argument for capitalism:  sooner or later it brought a demand for democracy. […] But what I’m afraid is that with this capitalism with asian values […] we get a capitalism much more efficient, dynamic than our western capitalism, but I don’t share the hope of my liberal friends. […] The marriage between democracy and capitalism is over.”
