Slavoj Zizek Quotes

[I]n So Far As Postmodern Politics Involves A '[t]heoretical Retreat From The Problem Of Domination Within Capitalism,' It Is Here, In This Silent Suspension Of Class Analysis, That We Are Dealing With An Exemplary Case Of The Mechanism Of Ideological Displacement: When Class Antagonism Is Disavowed, When Its Key Structuring Role Is Suspended, 'other Markers Of Social Difference May Come To Bear An Inordinate Weight; Indeed, They May Bear All The Weight Of The Sufferings Produced By Capitalism In Addition To That Attributable To The Explicitly Politicized Marking.' In Other Words, This Displacement Accounts For The Somewhat 'excessive' Way The Discourse Of Postmodern Identity Politics Insists On The Horrors Of Sexism, Racism, And So On - This 'excess' Comes From The Fact That These Other '-isms' Have To Bear The Surplus-investment From The Class Struggle Whose Extent Is Not Acknowledged.
