He appeared following an introduction by Boots Riley on April 3, 2015.
Zizek analyzes the Int'l-ongoing-Cock-up, in terms of the naked aims beneath the rhetoric, rendered with more panache by the ac-cent' and by ..the (apparent fact?) that those, multi-lingual from birth, have better speaking/writing vocabularies in n-languages than do the lazy monolinguists. His vehicle? Euro -vs-Greece/on several levels as likely go ^Zoom^ in backwaters like the dis-US.
Lurve to hear him + Karl Popper [The Open Society and its Enemies] rehashing, via modrin transistors; his asides.. cut through cliches wholesale, if one actually pays attention to his analyses (via his such careful use of Scale, I guess.)
But for a cogn.-Dissonance-dance, note this scheduled Robert Reich -vs- Bobo, at C.A.L, on 4-28-15 in S.F. ... as always, unclear when this hoot-One-Hopes! ... gets a time slot on NPR.
