What we see in Europe today isn’t a crisis of Capitalism, my God no, many see it that way but it couldn’t be farther from the truth nervous twitch what we see is a crisis of social democracy, all key things that went wrong in this recession would have gone wrong anyway just in a decade or two, aging demographics, bureaucratization social fallout from consumerism and economic globalization. Some people grow confused when I say this here in small minded Slovenia … what are you anti-Žižek some kind of Americanized pro-capitalist running pig-dog? To these Comrades anti-Žižek seems to convulse I say NO! I am not criticizing socialism to bolster capitalism I am criticizing both capitalism and socialism in favor starts yelling of FEUDALISM!
You see there is no fundamental conflict you see between the good feel social liberalism and the feel good consumerist capitalism. Both appeal to the most base uncivilized forager moral instincts, which have negative externialities when running complex society.
Anti-Žižek much like Žižek doesn’t want to be understood too well. But Konkvistador doesn’t mind. In an earlier post I cited three different kinds of governments I’d like to see run in different countries as a good starting point in the search for something better than what we have now.
I’d also like to see a country with a mostly Amish population divided into cantons ruled by local Amish religious elders & councils. It might prove to be the happiest society in the world. Even if not I suspect we’d see very interesting results.
Heh upvoted. Ok I’ll try to play the part, please read this in his distinct voice and style of speech:

I still have no idea what you’re talking about. What would a Konkvistador approved government look like?
I have no idea either, but for some reason it’s still hilarious to read.
