Zizek on Haider

[Kelley]

well, there is *still* nothing new in the analysis.  it has been said, at
least on this list, from its very beginning:  third way politics is a
rehash, in analyses of cold war, etc and so..  the idea that an evil Other
solidifies a group is extremely old.  hell, there was a lengthy debate over
the "uses" of finding fascism everywhere last year.  the idea that our
choices are a sham -- what the hell! -- that's so old it ain't *even*
funny.  red and blue packets of artificial sweetner....whoopdeedoo!  i'd
concede that ken had a point wrt mockery, but zizek didn't bother to offer
any of that, did he?
