Zizek's thoughts from
OWS<http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/slavoj-zizek-at-occupy-wall-street-transcript>come
to mind after last night:
There is a danger. Don’t fall in love with yourselves. We have a nice time
here. But remember, carnivals come cheap. What matters is the day after,
when we will have to return to normal lives. Will there be any changes
then? I don’t want you to remember these days, you know, like “Oh. we were
young and it was beautiful.” Remember that our basic message is “We are
allowed to think about alternatives.” If the taboo is broken, we do not
live in the best possible world. But there is a long road ahead. There are
truly difficult questions that confront us. We know what we do not want.
But what do we want? What social organization can replace capitalism? What
type of new leaders do we want?
