Slavoj Zizek On Liberal Fascism

About the show

Join rockstar philosopher Slavoj Žižek for a bracing, darkly funny guide to the end times.

At 76, Žižek remains as provocative as ever, combining sharp political analysis with surreal humour and philosophical depth. As populism continues to grip the globe, Slavoj joins us to share his iconoclastic reflections on the state of the world and our prospects for the future.

Moving from Europe and the Middle East to the contradictions of Trump’s America, Žižek examines the idea of ‘liberal fascism’, the fractures of the so-called post-truth age, and the forms of justice that might still be possible amid chaos. Expect uncomfortable truths, bleak laughter, and an evening designed to help us think – and survive – in troubling times.
