| |
| − | This timely and combative book argues that totalitarianism is an
| |
| − | ideological notion which has been used by the liberal democratic
| |
| − | consensus to impugn the political left's critique of that consensus with
| |
| − | the atrocities of the political right, thereby disabling effective political
| |
| − | thought. Žižek examines five aspects of totalitarianism here and
| |
| − | concludes that the problem with the notion is the very thing that makes
| |
| − | such a designation possible in the first place - the liberal democratic
| |
| − | consensus (among whose members he includes just about everybody,
| |
| − | damning them as a bunch of 'conformist scoundrels'). Like many of
| |
| − | his recent books, this monograph is more explicitly political in its
| |
| − | content, ending as it does with the refrain for increased socialization
| |
| − | in some form or another'.
