“The only ‘realistic’ prospect is to ground a new political universality by opting for the impossible, fully assuming the place of the exception, with no taboos, no a priori norms (‘human rights,’ ‘democracy’), respect for which would prevent us from ‘resignifying’ terror, the ruthless exercise of power, the spirit of sacrifice … if this radical choice is decried by some bleeding-heart liberals as Linksfaschismus, so be it!” — Slavoj Žižek
The only ‘realistic’ prospect is to ground a new
political universality by opting for the impossible,
fully assuming the place of the exception, with no
taboos, no a priori norms (‘human rights,’ ‘democracy’),
respect for which would prevent us from ‘resignifying’
terror, the ruthless exercise of power, the spirit of
sacrifice … if this radical choice is decried by some
bleeding-heart liberals as Linksfaschismus, so be it!
