liberal immigration is in interests of ruling class<\/a><\/p>\n

capitalism has reinvented itself after 1968 with this pomo <\/a>dynamic, with no left alternative<\/p>\n

only original idea of the left<\/a> return to Keynes, short-term hmm ok. But only global model seriously presented would have been the so-called “basic income”<\/strong> model and Negri-Hardt support it.<\/p>\n

\u017di\u017eek starts his\u00a0criticism\u00a0of Badiou<\/a>\u00a0according to Badiou: We no longer have a global social theory, just fragmented, all we can do is intervene locally, anti-capitalism has no meaning, capitalism is the air we breathe, historical reality is exerienced as symbolic fiction, he is more Kantian, advocates necessary fictions a very Kantian notion. \u00a0No history with capital H, the only real is the real of a political act, you need symbolic a story to provide the illusory background to make meaningful the real of political engagment. \u00a0You need a story to move you to political action, the idea of Communism, for him this is the necessary illusion, you need a story for the REAL of the political engagment. \u00a0Z rejects this entirely. \u00a0You need a leader like Lenin, Stalin, the cult of personality. \u00a0You need to locate the Real is some narrative<\/p>\n

criticism of Badiou pt 2<\/a>\u00a0What \u017d doesn’t like is Badiou’s idea that you need a symbolic illusion to propgate the real of an ethical committment. you have to tell a mythical story for the Real of ethical committment to work. \u00a0Badiou wants dialectical materialism without historical materialism. \u00a0This new stage of capitalism where cultural ideology and poltiical are intermixed, if we don’t confront this we are lost. \u00a0We NEED more than ever a theory of what goes on today, where are we today, what is happening. We don’t know. \u00a0It is still capitalism, its an open question: what is happening now in China. \u00a0I don’t buy Badiou’s abstract ethics of the purity of the idea. He opposes, Dare to Win. \u00a0The lesson of 21st century to win is to lose in a more radical way. \u00a0All 3 defeats happened, because you dared to win. \u00a0No subtraction, we should withdrawal. \u00a0\u017di\u017eek disagrees. \u00a0Cultural production is part of the base today. \u00a0If we will not do it, in 50 years we will live in a society I might prefer not to live in. \u00a0 \u017d says, Dare to win!<\/p>\n

I don’t think radical leftists today really want a change<\/a><\/p>\n

Symbolic Castration<\/a> \u00a0So thank you for the castrating experience, less is more. \u00a0You are much more than your title, you are also a warm human being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
