The State of the Situation

Just while we are on the Wikileaks train I thought I would re-post this LRoB article by the always entertaining Slavoj Zizek. Historical recounts of the good old communist days, movie references and analogies, and a scathing indictment of the current order. I never agree with everything he says, but he is pretty much everything you could ask for from a leftist political and cultural critic. One of "actually existing liberalism's" most potent accusers. At least he left Lacan in the toolkit this time ;)
