The COVID-19 pandemic shakes the world, by Slavoj Žižek

While the planet is swept by a global pandemic like never before, who can confront its deepest meanings other than the ever-prepared Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, who ponders its perplexing contradictions and speculates about the depth of its aftermaths, all in a way that will make you sweat profusely and breathe heavily. We are living in a moment where the greatest act of love is to stay away from all whom we love. The moment when governments stopped their huge expenditures to suddenly provide trillions, the moment when toilet paper became a precious commodity like Almas, and the moment when, in Žižek's opinion, a new kind of communism will be born as our only way to avoid falling into global barbarism.
