Violence

This is an occasion of the latter class. Force is the common characteristic of criminality and oppression. Denoting them as "violence" plus an adjective is not an advance in analysis. Mr Zizek neither invented the politics we call anarchism, nor the form of historical sociology we call Marx. Treating these subjects as though they emerged as epigrams from his elegant form of highbrow chat does us no service in trying to understand them. That this is only a word game can be seen from where the idea so expressed leads us: to the conclusion that all we need to do is revolutionize society and everything will be fine.

The route to improvement here is to respect Mr Zizek for having sparked an interest in some pre-existing ideas, and to show him the door. Now the pre-existing ideas have been identified (if not exactly directly encountered, because Zizek serves as both Cliff-notes Kropotkin and Monarch-notes Marx) and the question is to what new idea of your own they lead you. That idea of yours the subject of the next draft.
