Slavoj Zizek Quote
La tarea es «simplemente» detener el tren de la historia, que, abandonado a su propio recorrido, conduce a un precipicio. (Así, el comunismo no es la luz al final del túnel, el feliz resultado de una larga y ardorosa lucha; en todo caso, la luz al final del túnel es, por el contrario, la de otro tren que se nos aproxima a toda velocidad.)

Žižek is the most famous associate of the Ljubljana School of Psychoanalysis, a group of Slovenian academics working on German idealism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, ideology critique, and media criticism. His breakthrough work was 1989's The Sublime Object of Ideology, his first book in English, which was decisive in the introduction of the Ljubljana School's thought to English-speaking audiences. He has written over 50 books in multiple languages and speaks Slovene, Serbo-Croatian, English, German, and French. The idiosyncratic style of his public appearances, frequent magazine op-eds, and academic works, characterised by the use of obscene jokes and pop cultural examples, as well as politically incorrect provocations, have gained him fame, controversy and criticism both in and outside academia.
