Why does he publish so many books if he keeps saying the same thing? Does he want money? Does he have some kind of Lacanian diagram to justify his being a greedy hypocrite? Thanks.

Why does he publish so many books if he keeps saying the same thing?

Does he want money? Does he have some kind of Lacanian diagram to justify his being a greedy hypocrite?

Thanks.

How do you know he keeps saying the same thing if you haven't read all of his books?

If you have read all of his books, why does it bother you if he keeps saying the same thing?

Capitalism is an infinitely better baseline to build from than communism is. It's not perfect, sure, but it's a product of thousands of years of economic evolution, while communism is a theory based on a flawed understanding of human nature and interaction.

exactly, which is why true communism can only be built naturally from a stable capitalist society. commmunist societies in the past failed because they try to force it. if you want to see communist societies in the (slow) process of forming this way, look at scandinavia.

All philosophy and political science is just repeating the same thing at this point. For whatever reason, we never hit that next moment after modernity. At this point, it all just amounts to desperately trying to find out what is wrong before the common man just decides the whole thing doesn't work and throws out centuries of civilization.

Most people who have devoted themselves to either know society is boned.

There are several interesting analyses, but the movie is a mess. He wants to show that the primary imperative to late capitalism is "enjoy!". This comes across well with "They Live," but everything else except the very smart "Jaws" analysis seems like serious flattening.

Zizek is the Malcolm Gladwell of critical theory.
