Zizek @ Google

Whatever crap you were going to watch on TV just now, skip it. Slavoj Zizek covers a lot of the nebulous political territory I’ve been pondering over the last week, in his wonderfully manic way, during this October 2008 lecture for the Google authors series. Towards the end he is asked why he still considers Marxism relevant to the current political/economic situation, and his response reflects my thoughts on the matter. It’s about an hour and 17 minutes so sit back and enjoy.
