"Liberal democracy - as you know, in the old days, we were saying we want socialism with a human face..." — Slavoj Zizek

Without the communist oppression, I am absolutely sure I would now be a local stupid professor of philosophy in Ljubljana.

I agree with Sophocles: the greatest luck is not to have been born - but, as the joke goes on, very few people succeed in it.

My instinct as a philosopher is that we are effectively approaching a multicentric world, which means we need to ask new, and for the traditional left, unpleasant questions.

I secretly think reality exists so we can speculate about it.
