Just briefly, Eric, Steve:

Zizek of Contingency, Universality, Hegemony is the exact opposite of his 
'pragmatist' persona we're discussing here.  There he accuses Laclau of 
having a political imagination colonized by capitalism because he is not 
interested in discussing usefulness of Lenin and what a new dictatorship of 
the proletariat might look like... and besides, Zizek says, Laclau trusts 
social-democratic parliamentary institutions too much...  So you give up 
after a certain period of time on trying to figure out where Zizek stands on 
specific issues. He doesn't, he moves all the time. In philosophy as well.

Back to other emails,
