Early 1980s early Yugoslav commie regime undergo a crisis of legitimation.\u00a0 Milosevic, providing legitimacy for the local Serb republic, devil’s pact with nationalist intelligentsia.\u00a0 The Poetic Military Complex.\u00a0 Warriors together with Poets, look out.<\/p>\n
Pere Josef, the Catholic France made a pact with Protestant Sweden against Catholic Austrian Empire to prevent unification of Germany.\u00a0 This led to Hitler around\u00a0 hundred years later<\/p>\n
Pere Josef was a brutal torturer.\u00a0 But something real crazy, wrote the most beautiful mystical reflections.\u00a0 How is it possible that the same person who was a monster was in his inner life a breathtakingly refined mysticist.\u00a0\u00a0 For some the solution for this is Eastern Spirituality.\u00a0 But this doesn’t work for \u017di\u017eek.\u00a0 The true heroic greatness is to sacrifice his soul, his ethics for his country.\u00a0 Any fool can give his life.\u00a0 But it’s the real here that will do evil for his country, rape woman, kill children.\u00a0 The ethical temptation is presented as a weakness. If you can’t kill, you are weak the true here does it.\u00a0 Himmler’s solution: Bhagavad Gita, the Indian epic.\u00a0 Bhagavad appeals to God, how can I do it, women and children will suffer, people will suffer, answer of Christna is: substantial reality doesn’t exist, what we perceive of reality is false appearance. If you arrive at spiritual enlightenment, then you see that that’s the only reality. You can kill as much as you want, kill do it, it doesn’t count, nothing is really killed, it’s all only appearance.\u00a0 So Himmler always carried Bhagavad Gita in his pocket. Buddhists are the same.\u00a0\u00a0 Suzuki, how to kill without feeling guilty.\u00a0 False illusion of substantial reality, the Buddhist enlightenment, you are no longer part of reality, your mind is a medium of only observation, you only see a dance of shadows and appearance.\u00a0 Somehow your body gets stuck on the point of the knife my hand is holding.\u00a0\u00a0 Rorty says, we don’t have any substantial identity, we are stories we tell ourselves.\u00a0 “We listen to each other’s stories” the way to bring peace is to listen to each other’s stories, your folkloric dances … An enemy is someone whose stories we were not ready to hear.\u00a0 Would you say that Hitler was our enemy because we were not ready to hear his story?\u00a0 Abandon this conclusion of trying to understand each other \ud83d\ude41 \u017di\u017eek Inner authenticity is a LIE.\u00a0\u00a0 when someone approaches you trying to understand your dances and songs in order to understand you, this tribe just wanted to be good hosts to their guests, and so as good hosts they invented the dance and masks because this is what they thought the other wanted.<\/p>\n You should not do to them what they are doing to you.\u00a0 Underground the movie is specifically for the Western Gaze. An image of Balkans, outside history, where they each drink fuck all the time. This is what the West wants to see and he stages it for them, the spectacle, what they want to see.<\/p>\n : ( \u017di\u017eek its Racist Jokes<\/strong> that play a great progressive role.\u00a0\u00a0 They were not racist jokes attacking each other but a sharing of obscenities.\u00a0 I’ll tell you a joke about me, you tell me a joke about yours.\u00a0 The correct heroic thing to do is not to say “ohhh that’s racist” but to ironically assume it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A Fairy comes to a Slovene farmer and asks him, I will do anything you want me to do, but I’ll give it to your neighbour twice as much. So the Slovene farmer says, take one of my eyes. So Montenegro, how does a Montenegro masturbate, he digs a whole in ground sticks his penis in and waits for an earthquake etc.\u00a0 So \u017di\u017eek argues that its the exchange of these racist jokes etc.\u00a0 “I fucked your mother” and the message was let’s be truly friends and \u017di\u017eek replies, only after I do your sister.\u00a0 So after that they conducted this, they didn’t have to replay it, their friendship developed, in the morning all they would exchange was “mother” and “sister.”\u00a0 A good feminist would say “after I fuck your father” etc.\u00a0 [huh?]<\/p>\n He’s not saying let’s start telling dirty jokes about each other.\u00a0\u00a0 This ironic populist low humour.\u00a0 In each culture this works in a specific way. It’s a general feature of culture.\u00a0 When you look at a culture, how a community is held together, large and small.\u00a0 You have explicit rules, and then you have ‘meta rules’ higher level rules that tell you how to relate to these rules.\u00a0\u00a0 We should never underestimate, the subversion, undermining of community … order but underneath, obsenity total.\u00a0\u00a0 Croatia … we had only a med student.\u00a0 He slept in a room with a wash basin, and a mirror, photos of half-naked girls. Once a weeks\u00a0 doc came from military hospital.\u00a0 One guy stood up and said, “he had pains in his penis” What did you say? the doc asked.\u00a0 Undress. He undressed, his penis is painful.\u00a0 It’s only when I have an erection.\u00a0 Okay, the doctor says jerk off.\u00a0 Do it.\u00a0 He tries to get erection, it doesn’t work. The doc goes to mirror and gets the photo and takes them back. The doc was looking at us and laughing. This is the most oppressive, there was no underming of power.\u00a0 You need this OBSCENE underside.<\/p>\n Cold distanct dignity, undermine it with obscenity.\u00a0 But the problem with today’s liberal ideology: a decaffinated Other, they celebrate the Other but its a decaffeneited Other.\u00a0\u00a0 Drinking, depair disappears, and Other becomes holistic and spiritual.\u00a0 The problem of “tolerance”, excessive harrasment, ‘toxic’ neighbour:\u00a0 pedophile, abusive father etc.\u00a0\u00a0 It went from Albanians, Northern Africa, now Romanians.\u00a0 Italy is now a democracy becoming more and more insubstantial After the last elections, the Centre if falling apart and Buslusconi is the boss.\u00a0 But what is it about Berlusconi.\u00a0 Did you notice that B. is systematically undermining the minimal dignity of what it is to be the head of state.\u00a0 His mistresses, his wife.\u00a0 An obscene soap opera.\u00a0 Ronald Reagan was the first that played upon presenting himself as an idiot.\u00a0 He would mock his own stupidity.\u00a0 Richard Nixon was the last AUTHENTIC TRAGIC president.\u00a0 Italy is still a formal democracy but its becoming insubstantial, now you have an obscene head of state who openly mocks his wife’s affairs.\u00a0 This shouldn’t deceive you, its the like the army in the army, ha ha, masturbate, but the POWER remains there.\u00a0 POSTMODERN power, permissivity, the right to choice, but underneath its all the more powerful.\u00a0 Old type patriarch, I don’t care how you feel, behave but you’re going to grandma.\u00a0 Postmodern permissive non-authoritarian Father, You know how much your grandmother loves you but only visit her if you want to.\u00a0 Under the permissiveness of free choice, is the message not only must you go … you must enjoy.<\/p>\n Death of liberal Fukuyama utopia died after 9\/11.\u00a0 Western liberal utopia is not the recipe for the rest of world.\u00a0 The true utopia was the 1990s, the happy era of Clinton … this moment is dangerous.\u00a0 It is because SHOCK THERAPY, Capitalism needs a new boost, this financial crisis a SHOCK THERAPY for capitalism.\u00a0 How to use this crisis to break the last of the union trade syndicate.\u00a0 Let’s use this crisis to break the trade unions.\u00a0 There was 1 good argument for Capitalism until now, capitalism did need a dictator to survive, Chile etc. but after 10-20 years it did bring democracy.\u00a0 But now this game is OVER.\u00a0 CHINA, can we imagine to which person from our time will they be raising statues 100 years in the future.\u00a0 The long time president of SINGAPORE.\u00a0 He invented Capitalism with ASIAN values.\u00a0 that is, Authoritarian Capitalism. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 China today is now an ideal capitalist country.\u00a0\u00a0 Something is emerging in China, capitalism with Asian values, a capitalism more dynamic and productive than western capitalism but without democracy.\u00a0 ITS OVER the natural alliance with Capitalism and Democracy.\u00a0 BERLUSCONI is a European version of it.\u00a0 Berlusconi plays a clown but he’s got the POWER.\u00a0 What should be politics, the economy, is de-politicized, the economy is starting to function in an authoritarian way.\u00a0 What is happening in today’s capitalism, contrary to NEGRI, it NEEDS more than EVER A STRONG STATE. the STATE is getting stronger and stronger, but it won’t be able to do so in a formally DEMOCRATIC way.\u00a0 When Bush confronted the crisis and addressed the American people. He used almost the same terms as when he reacted to 9\/11. Our way of live is in danger.\u00a0 Bush presented the first bail out money 700 billion dollars.\u00a0 First vote it was against, then all politicians came together and said to Congress Fuck Off, this is not time for democracy.\u00a0 They declared an economic state of emergency.\u00a0 Capitalism is less and less able to function in a democratic state.\u00a0\u00a0 Italy since Sept 2008 is in a state of emergency.\u00a0 This enables government to use army against immigrants, mafia … it will not be classical emergency state, where you wake up and there is curfew, no, its gradual, you’ll still be able to have all your pleasures.\u00a0 The rise of IMMATERIAL LABOUR. when Marx spoke about it GENERAL INTELLECT, the collective practical knowlecge which is more imporatant than labour time. The source of capitalist wealth is no longer primarily worker exploitation, but COLLECTIVE KNOWLEDGE.\u00a0 Labour measured by time becomes meaningless.\u00a0 What Marx didn’t see is the possibility, that capitalism succeeded in REPRIVATISING the general intellect itself.\u00a0 BILL GATES, how is he rich?\u00a0 He didn’t exploit his workers, he didn’t get extra profit.\u00a0 It isn’t from Rent to profit, but from profit to RENT.\u00a0 It’s not PROFIT, this price is basically totally independent of production costs, he does take into consideration production costs, ITS RENT.\u00a0 Bill Gates privatised part of the COMMON SPACE and we have to pay him rent.\u00a0 the moment you deal with immaterial property, knowledge property.\u00a0 It’s not like making a widget to sell on the market.\u00a0 With immaterial goods, the state has to intervene.\u00a0 Bill Gates, with intellectual property, it’s more complex.\u00a0 Try to privatize some genetic structure. You need an exceptionally strong state to set the parameters. All the problem of copyright. The stronger and stronger state is needed and CANNOT do it in a democratic way.<\/p>\n COMMUNISM NOW!\u00a0 Commies before were not strong enough in realizing what a terrifying experience communism was.\u00a0 The German FIlm Lives of OTHERS.\u00a0 Liberals don’t get the commie tragedy.\u00a0 If you know anything of how socialism functions, if you have a corrupted secret police, where the film goes wrong, in a country East Germany, the writer would have been total observation even without somebody wanting to sleep with his wife.\u00a0 Without religion good people do good things, and bad people do bad things. With religion good people do bad things.\u00a0 The tragedy, is not bad people doing bad things, its good people starting to do good end up doing BAD things.\u00a0 We have a whole series of antagonisms today:<\/p>\n – IMMIGRANTS\u00a0 The walls are going up, West Bank EU, Mexico<\/p>\n – ECOLOGY: you can’t solve with market measure.<\/p>\n – Intellectual property<\/p>\n – Bio genetics; Fukuyama thinks now, biogenetics is strong argument enough all the coordinates are mixed.\u00a0 There is now a wheel chair run totally by thought.\u00a0 He can read if you think strongly about forward, backward, left right.\u00a0 The wheelchair moves according to thought\u00a0 Our being human is I have my FREE THOUGHT.\u00a0 The problem is, what goes out, also goes in.\u00a0 They already isolated the area of brain when you go into panic, then they bombard you and you are already in panic.\u00a0 They have a machine, press a button all people are in panic.\u00a0 Things are happening, the affects most ELEMENTARY what it is to be HUMAN.\u00a0 This is getting underminded the inside\/outside. what I think is inside, and reality is outside.<\/p>\n Clinton says this.\u00a0 The result is hunger, many countries Indonesia, Haiti, the best land was privatized companies, who bought up best lands to export. This export industrial agriculatural plants.\u00a0\u00a0 HUNGER IS NEW PHENOMENON. Haiti is selling mud cakes. Cakes made of mud. They have minerals that fill your stomach.\u00a0 FOOD IS TOO IMPORTANT TO BE LEFT TO THE MARKET says bill clinton. But Z. says what about education, arms industry, and health can’t simply be left to the market.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude42 Butler argues about the conflation of desire with the real<\/em>.\u00a0 What does she mean by this?\u00a0 That parts of the “literal” penis and the “literal” vagina, which cause pleasure and desire<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Early 1980s early Yugoslav commie regime undergo a crisis of legitimation.\u00a0 Milosevic, providing legitimacy for the local Serb republic, devil’s pact with nationalist intelligentsia.\u00a0 The Poetic Military Complex.\u00a0 Warriors together with Poets, look out.
