This is not a joke

This is not a joke.

Slavoj Zizek, the leading European left-wing intellectual, actually said referendums and the people should no longer decide things.
This is the person giving direction to all European left-wing parties.

Democracy was a mistake

Looks like he's mad at that island that didn't tolerate its bullshit

I "get" being Bremain but what fuck is up with the histrionics ? Did people really like a faceless beuracracy running trade? Like did they really care that much

moe like its time for the masses to unite and whipe the elites and their entire families out forever.

How long til this hits American soil? Fuck knows the left is chomping at the bit to become the fascists they've always dreamed of stopping.

...

...

How the fuck are blatantly treasonous cunts like this not being hung on lamp posts by now?

Is everyone in the west completely fucking cucked?

EU "democracy" is already a farce.

>It's about the sane vs mindlessly angry.

He's right you know.

Left-wing socialist here.

Studies show that that when confronted with facts and truth, people are more likely to double down on their false beliefs than change their mind.

Fundamental principle of democracy is that in a free exchange of ideas, best ones would prevail. Science shows that this is not true, therefore, democracy does not actually work. It's more of a way to give everybody a participation award, while silencing everybody outside two standard deviations from the average, that may or may not know what they are doing, depending on the quality of education.

>it's about the calm, collected psychopaths vs the mindlessly angry

Fixed that for you.

There really can't be that many elite out there anyways

Well, since you can get arrested for disagreeing with those cunts.

Everyone is like "if someone starts it, we in."

>socialist
>beliefs having any basis in reality

lmaoing my ass off senpai

>Studies show

Studies also show you're a faggot.

Hahahaha! Good luck staying in the fucking EU Greece! You chose it tho, you had a chance to blow the eurozone up and you chickened out!
Fuck you and fuck the EU!

That's not what he said.

>So how would Brexit fare in this context? From a leftwing standpoint, there are some good reasons to support Brexit: a strong nation state exempted from the control of Brussels technocrats can protect the welfare state and counteract austerity politics.

Anyway, here's zizek on it.

youtu.be/2OzV53zj1PA

He shits on eu.

Fucking duh, Zizek is a Communist who hates democracy. How could anyone not know that?

Exactly what I mean.

Sad but true
Im not saying the "elite" should be in control though

Maybe test based on intelligence, empathy, and whether or not you have a truth seeking personality should decide your voting power
The last 2 can be done with brain scans

>be slav
>be west style commie slav
>magically turn it into east style communism with western faggotry

You lot have a monster over there. In plain sight. Truly spoopy shit. I hope and pray we don't get to see that here in that form. There won't be America. Just a beer name.

>democracy does not actually work.

in other words, since it doesnt go your way, you should be crowned king for reasons.

lol blow it out your ass faggot

>Maybe test based on intelligence, empathy, and whether or not you have a truth seeking personality should decide your voting power
The last 2 can be done with brain scans

LMAO, can I get some of what you are smoking?

But the elites themselves brought this upon themselves.

The Jew (part of the elites) corrupted media and academia and created generations upon generations of communist/feminist/homosexual malcontents, race traitors, criminals, and all manner of undesirables.

You know what they say: "They that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind." You reap what you sow. You either fix it, or be consumed by the enemies in your midst, along with the monsters they've created.

you haven't even said anything remotely insightful you mongoloid leafposter

>Fundamental principle of democracy is that in a free exchange of ideas, best ones would prevail.
How do you define "best"?

>left-wing intellectual

He didn't actually say that retard. He was trying to say that sometimes, no matter what, the people are fucked

Nice argument, you must have been classically trained by the left

>fedoras to the power
communism never changes

>Studies show that that when confronted with facts and truth, people are more likely to double down on their false beliefs than change their mind.

The fact that socialism exists is proof of that.

>Science shows that this is not true, therefore, democracy does not actually work.

OK, go and take the GDP, social mobility, education rates, crime rates and corruption rates and of 10 democratic countries of your choice and 10 socialist countries of your choice, compare them, and get back to me on which ones are better.

>Studies show that that when confronted with facts and truth, people are more likely to double down on their false beliefs than change their mind.

Except socialists, because socialism is facts and truth.

>budweiser
>american

it's owned by inbev. you're drinking brazillian pisswater

>test based on intelligence, empathy, and whether or not you have a truth seeking personality should decide your voting power
That's exactly what an "elite" should be. Capitalism has rendered the upper-class worthless, while technology will do the same to the lower class.

When you see a broken system, it's not hypocrisy to be pleased when it actually produces something decent. After all, a broken clock is right twice a day.

>elites & mindlessly angry pc acolyte useful idiots vs the sane

You'll be put up against the wall with the rest of the traitors

The one with most support.
The people is ALWAYS right, ALWAYS!

History has shows us that communist and socialist governments stagnate and fail

There is a part of the brain that deals with empathy and it can be missing damaged or shrunk
Serial killers all show this part missing on brain scans

For the truth seeking personality bit you can trace chemicals being released in the brain with scans
And when someone radical is confronted with truth these chemicals get released stopping them from considering anything you say

>by James Traub

I think Slavoj Zizek is spelled a little differently

>elites rising up
>obnoxious rich faggots murdered in the streets by poorfags and rapefugees because they have not found out that their lives are worth less than their iPhone 6.0

I swear Brexit was like the Wests Solidarity moment, and now we'll get to see everything go to shit. At least we'll get our Pelevin

is that also the reason left wing polidorks need mass immigration of uneducated 3rd world niggers into western societies to keep the ((socialists)) in power by rigging the votes?

>Studies show

What studies? Can you link them?

>When you see a broken system, it's not hypocrisy to be pleased when it actually produces something decent. After all, a broken clock is right twice a day

broken systems, unlike communism, right

Maybe they already read through all the propositions. Though I doubt that.

>Studies show that that when confronted with facts and truth, people are more likely to double down on their false beliefs than change their mind.

is this why leftists get upset when hearing about non-white crime statistics?

>depending on the quality of education.

education has nothing to do with critical thinking skills. stop embarrassing yourself.

>Slavoj Zizek, the leading European left-wing intellectual, actually said referendums and the people should no longer decide things.

where? I'm seeing James Traub. Slavoj thinks we're quite right to be pissed at the migrant crisis.

> he says "literally"
> mfw he gets ideas from Sup Forums

Nice bait, lots of fish in this thread.

>There is a part of the brain that deals with empathy and it can be missing damaged or shrunk
>Serial killers all show this part missing on brain scans

So you assume that by simply having one then the opposite is true and that person is incapable of lacking empathy? That is a stretch.


>For the truth seeking personality bit you can trace chemicals being released in the brain with scans

So you plan on testing them every single time they say something to be sure they are actually telling the truth?

>And when someone radical is confronted with truth these chemicals get released stopping them from considering anything you say
Oh sorry, I didn't realize you were making things up.

>we know what's best for society because reasons

I think it's time to take the guillotine out of the garage.

Violent revolutions are not productive to a state's health, and history also shows of massive harassment and antagonizing of left-wing in general.

>Operation Gladio\B
>War on Drugs
>Domino Theory

Neo-liberals, actually. They cynically game democracy to stay in power.

>welfare state
>open borders
Pick one.

Zizek is a circus freak.

Would you trust a junkie looking fag just because he has a elaborate vocabulary?

Check-mate lefties.

>Dark calamari rings
That, sirs, is a kike.

>So you assume that by simply having one then the opposite is true and that person is incapable of lacking empathy? That is a stretch.
no its genetics
and again you can do brain scans to see if its active and if its responding correctly to stimuli

>So you plan on testing them every single time they say something to be sure they are actually telling the truth?
I dont think you understood the second part, its not about doing lie detector test
Its about seeing if those crazy chemicals get released on mass when confronted with a different point of view

Chemicals getting released in the brain do effect your behavior greatly

>Fundamental principle of democracy is that in a free exchange of ideas, best ones would prevail.
No. The fundamental principle of democracy is that people get what they want, good and hard. You get a hand in the system that rules your life, good or bad is just a bonus.

...

When the elites take over that would make things WORSE. History shows us when this happens you end up with factions of Machiavellian creatures endlessly plotting against each other in the Grand Game.

That's what life in East Germany was like. Bureaucrats endlessly blackmailing, sabotaging and honey-dicking each other to move up the ladder. And if you lost your ass got purged. The only people that ever made it up the ladder in that game were some Scary Motherfuckers(tm).

>slavshits
>leading anything ever

Pinochet did nothing wrong.

Nice thumbnail.

I'm gonna burn my copy of the Communist Manifesto

Stick around, I'll probably do it this week or next

>American

It is America. They're actually calling America a Brazilian pisswater. I'd believe it.

His speech impediment makes me angry.

He's like Daffy Duck if Daffy Duck was even more of an asshole.

...

Wtf I hate democracy now

>Pics, for ants
You stupid wetbacks can't do shit right, and you wonder why no one wants you here.

All you and your kin are good for is manual labor, so start building THAT WALL.

...

Žižek is a professional troll.
He's so high on coke he has no idea what he's doing anymore.

said the marxist

Marxism is too naive.

>elaborate vocabulary
I literally speak better english then him.

He literally uses leftist forum buzzwords you don't usually hear because you don't visit them.

He is literally a fat old SJW but replace SJW with commie.

>pinochet killing innocents
>implying commies are innocent

This is why the Khmer Rouge executed the intellectuals and the teachers. These traitors will never stop until everything is a Communist wasteland.

Zizek is based as fuck and the exact opposite of the liberal multicultural pussies we all hate so much.

He is red pilled as fuck on the refugee crisis, and pissed off the entire european left by writing about the problem with refugee rapes and their lack of integration into their culture. He doesn't dismiss the desire of the people to maintain traditional ways of life and even defended Brexit and Trump a moderate amount.

His political ideology is basically left-wing facism but he dances around it so as to not get ostracized by euro-cucks. I'm not a Marxist but I absolutely read and respect his views, as many of the concepts he comes up with can be redeployed for the right.

Is this the part where
>Kampuchean intellectuals
is quoted

Democracy is not even real. Sham choices, ballot stuffing, and creative vote counting happens all the time.

Doesn't he realize that if his glorious pogrom does happen his skull will eventually wind up on the pile? In that world if somebody gets tired of his shit they'll fucking kill him.

Oh shit, Romania December 1989 when?

He's right you know (no joke).

You fool!

what is this? r/fullcommunism for ants?

Corruption of democracy is the reason communism will forever haunt the West. Even after it "defeated" USSR.

Hail Hydra.

>we must save them from themselves
Why?

If people want to vote their way into oblivion then let them. It's their right. Democracy is not a means to an end, it is an end in itself.

Talked a lot of shit and just assumed he'd curried Castro's favor unconditionally. Once the revolution finally came Castro had no use for his ass. Bang, bang.

Fuck.

>We are all in the same boat.
This statement is not a slogan, or a platitude, or a cheer. It is a cold, hard fact. I am happy to let others commit suicide, but they are using explosives and I am in the blast raidus.

...

So what you're saying is that you're not doing it to save them, you're doing it to save yourself? You lose any claim that what you're doing is good for society, or that you do it based on altruism. It becomes simply "you threaten my interests, I threaten you," and you are unmasked as the animal that you are.

A true enemy of the people.

>people ITT not realizing that Zizek is basically a master troll/provocateur
