This is such top tier liberalism.

    Zizek made the point when Berlusconi became president in Italy that this was the new authoritarianism

    The clown attending bunga bunga parties making everyone laugh but beneath this veil the authoritarianism

    Even if Trump had died at birth the collective masses and bourgeois class wouldve sought a new authoritarian clown to put into presidency

      Well put.

      When I said it's what happens when you dont have material analysis, this is the kind of thought I was getting at.

      It's like someone who decided they want to know why the holocaust happens and they just study the youth and upbringing of Hitler. Not realizing that Nazism could have come to power without him.

      We have to study the conditions which existed in Germany which allowed him to came to power and do what he did, hitler as an individual might have an interest biography but that's no why the holocaust happened
