Slavoj Zizek on Liberalism’s Failure, Capitalism Restricting Freedom, & US’ Ideological Civil War
On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to world-renowned communist philosopher Slavoj Zizek, author of ‘Heaven in Disorder’. He discusses the ‘Disorder under heaven’ quote by Chairman Mao Zedong and why he has turned on its head for the title of his new book, the ideological civil war in the USA, the failure of liberalism and the rise of conspiracy theorists and anti-Vaxxers, the US’ defeat in Afghanistan and how Western armies have become mercenaries for those in power, the polarisation of society into conspiracy theorists vs experts, the need for a transnational dialogue transcending ideologies to confront the 21st century’s biggest problems, the climate emergency now being ‘5 minutes past midnight’ and much more!
