"If anyone is bothering you about why they gave us, I don't know, some money and so on... all that.
Here we have to be completely brutal. For example you told me some people were complaining about the high cost, you see because we don't get that much money.
We had the same problem in London in a conference about Communism. Some pseudo-leftists were whining "But how is it 50 dollars!"
Well I can tell you why! Because that was a conference about Communism and not about the 'suffering of animals' and 'children who suffer'.
and all these silly philanthropic themes. For the theme of Communism there wasn't any good Soros to give us money.
Most of us paid our own way, the institution Birkebeck even gave us a bill for the room precisely because we didn't have any of these sponsors.
We obviously didn't get any honorarium. Just for some people who couldn't, we paid their card, some hotels (I paid my own), and the lecture area of course, and so on.
Which means, you know, we live in brutal Capitalism, and instead of paying for it, we should brutally use it.
The problem isn't some idiot in power giving you money. Take the money! Take the Money!
But take it without moralistic feelings of guilt.
The next day kill him, and if he says "But I gave you money", tell him, "You Idiot, why did you give me the money".
Here there's no room for moralism. Be brutal.
If we live in Capitalism, then we live in Capitalism. Take the money wherever you can without any feeling of responsibility.
They give us money not because they like us but because they think it's chic or in that way they make a spectacle and so on...
Let them live in their illusions. That much better for us."

How can Zizek be so based?

Yeah, I was surprised to see how he looked so much like Zizek in Looper. Same beard genetics and all.
