[lbo-talk] Zizek speech to OWS

[shag carpet bomb]

like Gulick, parts I didn't like. That part about how to counter being
called unamerican was just plain weird. I can see he was trying to
give people a way to defend themselves against the charge, without
sounding stupidly patriotic. But he couldn't bring himself to go
there, so he gave them a way to sound extremely religious.

The nonviolent violence and ghandi stuff.... kinda fell flat for me.

But really, if he had simply said that last paragraph, the joke about
ink, that's all he had to have said.

Also, it's important that he put himself in with them, as part of the
us and the we.
