We, the people have achieved a lot over the last centuries. But our rights are no gifts from our guardians, they were hard won. Today we live in a time of illusions, stupid entertainment and fashionable consumptions. Most people are still blinded by the media flood rather than form their own opinion. The constructive ways have to begin with an honest look in the mirror: never an easy task; always a necessary one.
Slavoy Zizek - The Idea of Communism
A debate between Alex Callinicos, John Holloway and Slavoj Zizek on the Idea of Communism.
This was the biggest show by far in the 5 days of Marxism 2010 (the queue was HUGE!) which itself was the biggest Marxism event ever with [I think] around 6000 people attending from all over the world.
Filmed in Logan Hall, Institue of Education, Bloomsbury.
