JBP goes right into every assumption of the book and tears it apart.

ie: Why would anyone assume a society ruled by the proletariat would stop being corrupt? Especially after using violence to get there.

He exposes it as the satanic inversion of morality that it is - by showing how the book ignores its own assumptions by appealing to the readers thirst for power.


Yea I agree completely 14:26 he starts to really rip it

Will to Power, not thirst, which is the highest human drive probably, overcoming even the pleasure principle. Will to logos is a biggin too.

Is Peterson pretending this isn't a fundamental psychological principle? I'll have to see I guess. Busy actually doing things lol. This stuff is for twenty somethings and Peterson is too grown for this stuff.

Zizek didn't destroy anything lol. He makes a few interesting points of view but ultimately agrees that communism has failed
