Right, i know revol's a fan, and there's a couple of films/tv shows knocking about with him in (C4's Pervert's 'Guide to Cinema', the film 'Zizek!'), so wht not a thread.
I've just started reading his self-described magnum opus 'the parallax view', and one thing has leapt out at me already (apart from the leninism and expectation you're well versed in the history of western thought), is his approving quoting of Karatani's thesis that workers can only really challenge capitalism as consumers because that's 'where capital must court them'.
What a load of wank, consumption is classless, separation is by degree along a continuum of purchasing power, whereas in production class antagonism is concrete and an immediate point of struggle - separation is of kind not degree. Its like Debord never warned "the spectacle is not an image, it is arelation between people mediated by images".
Anyway, boss coming ...
