"There is nothing more miserable today," Mr. Zizek concludes, "than those
people who organize their life in order to enjoy themselves." The linchpin
of his lecture is the notion that if the goal of classic psychoanalysis was
to liberate people from their repressions, mental health under late
capitalism requires the struggle to free ourselves from the compulsion to
satisfy an endless and irrational set of desires."

= Marcuse's concept of repressive desublimation.  Zizek is usually so 
dismissive of the Frankfurters that I'm inclined to slap him with a 
plagiarism charge.
