An all-star cast of radical intellectuals discuss the continued importance of communism
Slavoj Zizek is a Slovenian philosopher and cultural critic. He is a professor at the European Graduate School, International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, Birkbeck College, University of London, and a sen-ior researcher at the Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. His books include Living in the End Times, First as Tragedy, Then as Farce, Less Than Nothing, six volumes of the Essential Zizek, and many more.
Separating the promise of communism from the disasters of the
twentieth century is no easy task. But it feels necessary. Already
we know that choices will have to be made and sides taken.
Impending ecological disaster suggests that this could be our last
chance to do so. If another world is possible, it will happen in
action, not abstract theory. The first choice is very simple: to
begin.
