Zizek talks at Occupy Wall street, what does it mean?

Slovak Zizek says of these:

"Remember. The problem is not corruption or greed. The problem is the system. It forces you to be corrupt. Beware not only of the enemies, but also of false friends who are already working to dilute this process. In the same way you get coffee without caffeine, beer without alcohol, ice cream without fat, they will try to make this into a harmless, moral protest. A decaffienated process. But the reason we are here is that we have had enough of a world where, to recycle Coke cans, to give a couple of dollars for charity, or to buy a Starbucks cappuccino where 1% goes to third world starving children is enough to make us feel good. After outsourcing work and torture, after marriage agencies are now outsourcing our love life, we can see that for a long time, we allow our political engagement also to be outsourced. We want it back."

About Me

My photo
Jose Leonidas
I am a sociologist by profession and has been interested in organizational life, particularly in learning organizations. This site that you are about to interact with hopefully will help you and your organization. I am also into entertainment where I do magical act to share to a group. Recently, I have been fascinated with how technology, inventions and innovations has been inhabiting human space. I wish to write and reflect on this. Thus I made a blogspot named Next Big Idea.
