Jim Rogers : Government interference not The Capitalism caused the Crisis

Slavoj Zizek vs Jim Rogers

Jim Rogers : had capitalism been allowed to work we wouldn't be in this situation , if back in 1994 or 1998 people have been allowed to collapse we would not had the prosperity we had in the early part of this decade on the other hand we would not had the collapse that we have now , we had an artificial prosperity now we have an artificial decline if you will...that's government interference that's not capitalism that caused that that 300 million Americans that now have to pay for the people in the financial district and say the other 10 million who did do these things ...I mean that's absurd that's not the way the system is supposed to work ,this is how the system is supposed to work : incompetent people fail , competent people will come along take over their over their assets reorganize and the system starts over , it's called creative destruction it's a capitalist kind of thing ....what's happening now is the government is coming along and taking the money from the competent people giving it to the incompetent people and saying now you compete with the competent people with their money ...the whole system is wicked that's called socialism ...you should recognize that ....you should recognize that system that's what the socialist do that's what the communist tried to do....."

Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek, aka The Elvis of cultural theory, is given the floor to show of his polemic style and whirlwind-like performance. The Giant of Ljubljana is bombarded with clips of popular media images and quotes by modern-day thinkers revolving around four major issues: the economical crisis, environment, Afghanistan and the end of democracy. Zizek grabs the opportunity to ruthlessly criticize modern capitalism and to give his view on our common future.

We communists are back! is the closing remark of Slavoj Zižeks provocative performance. Our current capitalist system, that everyone believed would be smoothly spread around the globe, is untenable. We find ourselves on the brink of big problems that call for big solutions. Whatever is left of the left, has been hedged in by western liberal democracy and seems to lack the energy to come up with radical solutions. Not Zižek.
